Are those the trucks on SL-1s? What are on SL-2s? Probably not able but could a different truck be applied to any of the present cars? Both single and 2 level cars?

Not sure but the trackwork also involved supports going above the tracks. Maybe involving CAT? Someone more in the know might be able to enlighten us exactly what Amtrak is now doing??

$897,705.92 per unit/ That really sounds outrageous.

Safe harbor does have the capacity to provide single phase 60 hZ power.

19 hit a vehicle east of Greenville, SC no reported injuries. Train went to Greenville and is waiting for rested crew. Delay probably due to crew unable to make ATL. So stopped at Greenville for new crew from CLT as only location for new crew.

JIS: -I was speaking of 2 dual frequency transformers. One at each end such as Acelas. Why has the infrastructure costs for not be considered? What did the new solid-state converter in North NJ cost. and what is the max power output? What about the additional real estate for the converters...

Which works better for high speed trolly poles sliders or rollers?

It appears that Amtrak has been doing some much need work that the old lease holder would not allow to be done. One item that I know of is the switch replacement work for the 1st street tunnel bores. There have been many delays there the past few weeks. In the past read that there was much...

About conversion to 60 hZ. We keep forgetting that the 25 hZ NEC system is going to become more and more isolated from new US 60 hZ systems every year some are entering service. It is also about last mile service. No matter how slowly HSR becomes being built it will need the last miles into...

How can Amtrak service these Borealis cars with that rotation? When does it substitute cars out of consist in CHI?

What others have posted is that SEPTA does have some equipment not compatible with 60 hZ. Signaling might also be a possibility of not being compatible, I believe a compassion of MNRR conversion costs might be informative and add inflation factor. It will be expensive. Although IMO 60 hZ is...

Evidently this project will be 4 or more years in the construction. Hopefully all the OCS replacements will be constant tension. The Bryn Mawr substation replacement is an indication of why there are some Keystones being replaced with diesels. Could be that the equipment cannot put out enough...

Agree, Upper berth of SL roomettes are somewhat confined. Also no ooutsi8de view which is not good for rail fans.

If their inventory was zero, then just another example of skimping on spare parts by management. Wheels are always needed. NOL probably sees ~ 120 - 150 inbound wheels in a day on cars and locos.

These airline penalties could almost be written word for word tp apply to Amtrak and bus companies. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/5-things-to-know-about-the-new-airline-refund-rules-that-go-into-effect-monday/ar-AA1sYU7h?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=7d2825047de942099f21ff6d5582b977&ei=115

Do not specific union and state. However if the union does not defend operator properly union can then be sued for maleficence.

Q-10 no longer goes to JFK?

Being on the west side southbound into LAX means sun near horizon will make viewing difficult.

That IMO is very wasteful of OBS persons. Having to layover at WAS for almost 24 hours makes no sense.

One big item about the Seattle car washer. SEA very seldom goes below freezing temps. That will mean at least the consist can be washed at SEA if CHI weather is too cold to wash the consist. The same for Oakland and LAX. Also NOL and MIA.
