The article referenced was concerning the high speed connecting with Amtrak’s national network. I was not commenting on if the Texas Central would be completed or not.

Assuming the national network is still around when they are complete.

And with no cell service and no wifi, almost impossible to get train updates at the station without the agent there.

That is cool, but still not as good as this service was. It was status of any train, just by sending a text. No having to subscribe. Too bad it is no longer working.

Accidentally came across a TV show on A&E called Rooster & Butch. They are investors who bring people to Alpine , TX to try and get them to invest. It seems that all the potentials arrive on Amtrak at the Alpine station so there are quite a few shots of Amtrak trains on the episodes. Sent from...

this one seems especially short. Maybe it is normal. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

I understand Talgos. But there is one car, the main one they have been showing, that appears very short. The one dangling off the bridge. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

Is the angled car a really short car? Or is it broken in two? Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

If 181 was trailing, then that means the train was in push mode, correct? Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

I think it is trailing. Based on new pics of one car upside down on freeway and angled car on top of it. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

Is the locomotive they are showing 181 the lead or trailing unit? Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

They do take the time to turn all the seats in the coach at some point.

The 3.5's were also floppy. It was referring to the actual disk INSIDE that is floppy. Not the exterior.

Worst I had was stinkin French Toast sticks on the Cardinals diner-lite.

That was my wife's plate. I had the rice which I liked. It seemed to be a different style from past years.

I saw the two cars twice in the past two weeks. One was a full sleeper and one was a transition sleeper. They were indeed hooked up to shore power.

It was good. On outbound trip in Texas Eagle, the chef threw the shrimp on the grill to give them a little grilled edges. It was really good. Return trip they did not but was still good.
