    Paper (PDF) schedules are on RPA website or mine at Amtrak Timetable Archives - Home

    Unofficial Amtrak Timetables-2022

    Correct, and I created some of them. 😁 Anything posted to RPA I also post to juckins.net - so either page will have the latest available versions. As Jis said, Amtrak is slow to release new data sets and they often have discrepancies in them. We clean them up as best we can with the limited...

    Unofficial Amtrak Timetables-2022

    Look for the "Carolinian/Piedmont" for NYC to Charlotte, and the "Lake Shore Limited" for NYC to Chicago. Rail Passengers Association has timetables in addition to juckins.net - that link is Amtrak + VIA Rail Timetables | Rail Passengers Association | Washington, DC

    Business class on NER 66, 67

    Look at the Virginia schedule: https://www.railpassengers.org/site/assets/files/20928/virginia-services_1_17_23.pdf I see we need to add the overnight run on the DC/Boston page, so that is an oversight on our part (who make the schedules). Did I mention Amtrak does not make it easy to create...

    Business class on NER 66, 67

    Brand new, shiny NEC timetables are at Amtrak + VIA Rail Timetables | Rail Passengers Association | Washington, DC It is worth checking them out. We are continously asking Amtrak to release an updated dataset to keep the TTs accurate, too. No small feat getting the latest data.

    Question about Thailand Railways

    Have fun. We took the 'express' daylight coach train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok in early November. Basic but nice and comfortable trip. Beautiful scenery in Northern Thailand. You will enjoy your trip no matter how you go.

    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    An update....this may have been noted elsewhere, but I refreshed most of the PDF timetables that RPA has posted to their website. See Amtrak Timetables | Rail Passengers Association | Washington, DC Neroden has done a great job with the python coding and the end result is very sleek and...

    What should Amtrak change?

    It's too bad Amtrak is limited with equipment and staff, because a pilot 2-frequency LD route would be very interesting! I would love to see that.

    ACE Autumn Colors Express & Cincinnati Daylight Express

    Anyone going on the Autumn Colors Express this weekend in WV? I promise not to track the OTP or complain about it running late. 😊

    And that is one long passenger train.

    Timetables/Flag Stops

    A reminder that RPA has timetables on their site, and I have managed to scrape together the latest timetables from a variety of sources and rail enthusiasts (see Amtrak Timetable Archives - Home) Part of my collection includes Nathanael Nerode's PDF timetable program which does a great job of...

    Ethan Allen schedule change

    Here is the northbound Ethan Allen, #291. Not bad by Amtrak standards. RUD was the prior terminus before the BTN service started...

    Crescent operations and schedule performance

    I'm pretty sure Amtrak has had multiple conversations with the freight RRs asking them to clean up their act.

    Bookings to Burlington Not Possible?

    I know Amtrak is aware of the website and phone app booking problem with BTN. Separately, one cannot purchase a ticket on train 66 from ALX. It shows sold out for every date and they are working on that problem, too.

    Crescent operations and schedule performance

    I see comments about a 30-day notice vs 90-day notice for the old schedule. Probably moot since they don't seem interested in changing it.

    Crescent operations and schedule performance

    I don't know if this was mentioned earlier in this thread, I apologize if it was, but RPA hosted a webinar a couple of weeks ago and Jim Matthews relayed a question from the audience about the disaster timekeeping for the Crescent. The Amtrak rep Yoel Weiss said the current schedule can be...

    Crescent operations and schedule performance

    @Ryan - Thank you for pointing out that error, there was a problem with the source data for Jan 2 2022, which has been corrected. One note I should include....because the gathering routines for retreiving the train data have changed over the years, I do not always have both the arrival and...

    Southwest Chief derailment (June 2022)

    Looks like 5 overturned...and the last reported speed was 90MPH, so really not a good situation.
