Stand corrected meant to say transit docs and Amtrak's status map is missing last 4 stations

Around 0016 on Thursday train #20 Crescent tangled with a vehicle approximately 10 miles SW of Gainesville Ga station. It took a 5:40 delay and took more delays at Gainesville station. not sure why delay at station. Equipment damage, Crew??? EDIT changed delay info

Wonder when Amtrak will get the 4 end stations onto their web site so Dixieland can give us those times?

I experienced 3 problems when transiting from the Pacific parlor cars to Superliners. One was the slight slope from PPC to SL that I warned more than one person to watch out for, 2nd was the headroom problem that needed more protection, the 3rd was that there were not grab irons on both side of...

Would like to see route or area (where more appropriate) train managers responsible for increasing riders and revenue VS cost ratios. As well work with Freight RRs and train crews to improve on time performance.

Hell Gate line shut down again this time a substation fire. Service Disruption on the Northeast Corridor November 12, 2024 11:00 PM Amtrak service between New York Penn Station (NYP) and New Haven (NHV) remains suspended in both directions due to a previous fire east of New York Penn Station...

This cannot be good. Will Amtrak be able to get power from MNRR at the New Rochelle MNRR substation? Is this substation part of the power expansion for MNRR service to NYP? https://abc7ny.com/amp/post/amtrak-trains-delayed-between-nyc-new-haven-due-fire-tracks-bronx/15540908/ 2 substations...

Why is today’s northbound #40 saying it will terminate in Toledo and the southbound #41 will end in Delray Beach? It appears that the Amtrak setup of the trains only was ever set up for 42 stations that mirrors the EB's various stops thru the years. Guess IT never thought any train would ever...

Since this route is considered a critical national military route maybe the Navy can put extra pressure for completion?

Now appears a definite Amtrak IT problem. Since the EB is 39 stations that route may have had provisions for the 42 station numbers? Since the VIA's 64 stations shows on Dixieland blame it on Amtrak IT.

CSX does it on the ALB - BOS route. many times Amtrak changes train times to meet work windows. That has happened on the CSX "A" line. Also the Sunset route on UP.

Maybe Dixieland does not have enough station spaces in the present programing to allow all the way to MIA and CHI? If you notice there are exactly 42 stations listed both ways. Programing may be a way off since 42 does not fall in the usual binary 32 or 64 but is 32 + 10 But the Canadian...

Aspen airport is closest airport. It is no fun. Most carriers require special qualifications into it and would not ride with anyone who has not gone thru the quals.

With no freight trains and all roads closed I would get off if the train was to continue. Too easily to strand train ala Donner pass.

Where has Gardner said that??

Please clarify. What is the maximum consist that can operate NYP <> ALB? Is Amtrak operating the trains anywhere near this max or planning to after NOV 11?

When I had younger children flew into Denver, rented car and drove to Winter Park. Really did not need car while staying there. Also never liked the drive over Berthoud pass. Promoting this service IMO would have been the ticket for our family. This is an example of expansion that could be...

Amtrak does not need another incident like the Acela-1s getting parked causing capacity problems on the NEC.

IMO there is too much emphasis on age of various equipment. How about mileage and exposure to harsh environments. Also, higher operating speeds where AM-1s operated more on NEC Many posters do not know that the Amfleet-2s as a group have much more mileage than the Amfleet-1s . Yet management...

The Park avenue viaduct from GCT is being rehabbed. All the steel and iron works is being upgraded with removal of present steel.. That has one of the 4 tracks not in service so now it is 2 tracks one way with counter flow just one track, MTA did not want Amtrak on the one counter flow track...
