Our 5 is delayed. It was all lined up boarding sleepers, they discovered no fuel. So it unloaded and left back to the yard to fill up, maybe 45 minutes ago. Fuel is #2 on the checklist to leave the yard.

I do not own those, they look interesting but I am skeptical of the safety of a device like that. Would I personally use something like that with a large load? Not me. Would I try it with a light load for short term only, with a responsible human around to get it disconnected quickly if it...

Yes these are still offered in the area I am located. I have been in tower and approach areas twice over the last five years. COVID put a stop to the tours for a couple years before they started doing them again.

If the extension cord falls out of the socket then I would tend to call that outlet worn out. Since a worn outlet is out of the control of the rider, I have found that extension cords that have their prongs spread out further so they are not exactly parallel anymore will fit a worn outlet...

https://ouriowaheritage.com/navy-flight-school/ The Ottumwa, IA airport just south of Iowa City was also a Naval Air Station during the war, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottumwa_Regional_Airport Former President Nixon trained there.

Excellent! When I was looking around for an additional aviation handheld several years ago that could also do non-aviation VHF, I wasn't finding much. I suppose the need to transmit too was the holdup in trying to find one handheld to do it all.

Yes, I am using the term AM above for Amplitude Modulation and FM for Frequency Modulation in the context of the modulation of the audio signal in the wave, not the consumer understanding of an AM/FM radio. There is awareness that a normal consumer AM/FM radio cannot tune RR or aviation...

I have always been trained and experienced that Amtrak/Railroad bands are using FM, and Aircraft bands are using AM meaning even if you can tune the frequency if the scanner is FM it won't really understand AM transmissions, and vice versa. Are there simple/cheap scanners that can do both AM...

Was there overcrowding at the Chicago lounge Like Los Angeles?

Could use this for instruction on getting up and getting off early ;):

My source found out on board. I don’t know how far before Denver on board though? EDIT Source said everyone else knew before boarding. I would have to assume that everyone else found out from emails.

i was told by a rider last nights #5 was turned at Denver and bustitution to Grand Junction. Don’t know if that was happening two days ago for this #6 too? Tunnels closed?

If we are talking about the Chicago lounge, I had trouble getting in when I was there last year. The lounge dragon as they are called wanted to see a departure sleeper ticket not an arrival sleeper ticket. I had both but the first one I showed she said was not good enough. In case the Amtrak...

It would seem that type of instrument would be prohibited by Amtrak from being carried on board. https://www.amtrak.com/prohibited-items

Wouldn’t it help if the card (or names, number and expiration date were attempted to be copied off) was later stolen for card not present transactions? That about all I could see it helping with? A person would need to remember what they actually were if they wanted to do a card not present...

That crossing is odd, Y shaped. I wonder if the car driver backup up not far enough because the gate was closed behind her too? It is hard to tell from the video whether the crossing gates close the entrance and exit to the tracks. Either way that was a close one and she was fortunate not to...

Others may know right away the purpose of that car and how many FRA has and I could go search, but I am curious in this thread the possible purpose the car is serving for the CZ (as well as in general)? Also the consist order, usually on our site here random private cars are reported and shown...

Room 24 should be the near the center of a trans-dorm, right near the stairs and near the upstairs toilet. Since it's the center it should ride as well as any roomette. The trans-dorm floor layout is here: Amtrak Car Diagrams @ CraigMashburn.com
