We have to remember that was the middle of WW-2

It appears that riding a bus from Smallville to west Podunk has become very complicated. Time to simplify that process.

Did not know about the low clearances at the PABT. Is the planned work going to change that?

This is fairly good. However, from old timetables it is slow. LYH - RNK 53 miles N&W 1:20 Amtrak sch 1:15 and can do it 1:20. RNK - Christiansburg 33 miles N&W with stop at Salem 1:10; Christiansburg - Radford 10.6 miles N&W took 0:25 or 0:21. These are all slow sections and IMO need fixing...

The 518 rail miles for the Crescent bustitution ATL <> NOL in Jan & FEB each year, It is 470 miles by way of I-85, I-65, I-10 by way of Montgomery - Mobile non stop about 6:30 although have done it under 6 hours by just pushing speed limits less than 5 MPH. I20 -I-59-I-10 490 miles but has...

Is NASA finding meaning full work for them? Otherwise, the tour will be worse than the three hour tour..

More signal problems on Amtrak. Here is latest bulletin. Potential delays along the Northeast Corridor August 27, 2024 3:30 PM Customers should expect residual delays along the Northeast Corridor as we work to resume normal operations. This is due to a combination of earlier signal issues...

From what my relatives tell me you are probably right. Some also believe that there are some persons with monetary interest trying to keep or at least delaying Sun Rail from going to McCoy airport.

Groo, runs shuttle vans from Columbus ga to ATL airport. Stops in Newnan, Ga and LaGrange GA,

IMO Greyhound is a goner. The sharks split Greyhound up and all the good assets are being sold off not to help Greyhound bus lines. Now other intercity bus lines are mostly in peril to go bankrupt. The only solution IMHO is a major expansion of Amtrak both rail and thruway bus lines where...

Although not having read anything about the engine suspect that it may not actually be a fire. We may be seeing the T-1 turbine inlet location with the burning of the fuel. The fire we are seeing is very symmetrical.

What would be the best but will never happen as too expensive is extend Sun Rail into Daytona Beach which is in the same county Volusia. The speedway would certainly bring in fans especially for weekend service which is not now know to happen. BTW that unfortunately will make the present...

IMO having RM type high cars on Auto Train has merit as it would increase capacity somewhat.

The Silvers and Palmetto would all originate at MIA. They would be 18 cars -= 2 diners, lounge,^ bag. The 14 revenue cars would split coach / sleeper between even to a 9 and 5 mix.. At WAS or PHL 4 cars will be removed to allow a 14 car fit at NYP. The Crescent would arrive northbound at ATL...

Reminds one of the AA - DC-10 at ORD where one attach bolt on the left engine failed. Engine rotated down. Engine pulled control cables for the leading edge slats causing them to retract then aircraft left wing stalled and plane crashed. Sometime later an Air Florida DC-10 taking off on the...

One of the best Canadian trips would be the past few day and several days in the future. My experience was the full moon would be visible from the Park car and at many locations it would show just above the signals. Nothing like a signal with luna over green over red. I have a lost picture...

The northern route on the B^M route i8s important. However, the route will not meet even 1/2 its potential without some serious straightening. How to go about it? IMO start at BON and work the way west 1 year at a time. MBTA could probably run to completed portions but remain off the sections...

Another delay for Crescent #10 / 20 at WASH. Took 2:11 to make the engine change. _ 08/20/24 7:27pm EDT _ As of 7:17 PM ET Mechanical Issue: Crescent Train 19 which _ departed New York (NYP) on 8/20 is currently experiencing _ a delay in Washington (WAS) due to a mechanical issue that...

Except for Starlight, Sunset, & Auto Train. Also a possible DFW - ATL only train.

Actually there will finally be 4 tracks from 1st street to Franconia. It will be the 2 western tracks owned by VA DOT from 1st street to past ALX. So, see no problem of wires as far as past ALX.
