While the posters are in Japanese, the message is clear. Very creative. (the article is in English) "Japan’s railway manners posters offer reminders on correct behavior with a light touch, along with charmingly playful designs." https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/g02256/

If the River Subdivision (which includes LAUPT) is out of service, Amtrak won't be able to access their 8th Street Yards (south of LAUPT) which is where servicing and "turning" of trains takes place. The River Sub includes both the East and West Bank lines from CP Taylor to Soto. From...

1131 is the second sleeper from the diner, it is not the dorm. It is a standard sleeper but is not necessarily oriented the same way as the 1130.

50/50 as to how they are oriented.

Indeed, that is the holiday travel period but, keep in mind Metrolink is a commuter rail service. The period between the holidays is pretty light ridership for commuters (I've witnessed that) so, it is probably the best time FOR THEM to do this (and the heck with everyone else).

"Metrolink trains will be out of service for four days starting on Tuesday, December 26 through Friday, December 29." This will affect ALL trains at LA Union Station, including Amtrak. Metrolink dispatches/maintains the tracks at LA Union Station so this will affect ALL trains at LA Union...

One time I was inbound on the Starlight #11, they took the connecting Sunset Limited passengers (those with a guaranteed reservation) off in Santa Barbara and bused them to Palm Springs to connect with #2. With two seperate tickets for each segment, I don't know how/if that bus would work for...

In your example, the time of departure and arrival is more of a concern to me than the duration. Given a choice I would probably lean toward a daylight journey. For that length of trip I would, at the least, book a roomette - daytime or night. We've done LAX to EMY and reverse (day), LAX to WMJ...

I don't use Google Pay. I haven't set up any subscriptions recently either (and not Google AFAIK). Those are still in the "pending" category. I'll just keep checking my account. EDIT Update: Just found this (thanks to Google). I do use autofill on Chrome. Pending transactions When you use a...

Just noticed this on my card this morning... Now Google is getting in the act!

Hey @drdumont , NW6A here!

Being able to transmit is a whole different ball of wax, expecially regulatory.

Most scanners, including inexpensive scanners will receive both AM and FM modulation - it is set based on the frequency programmed. Look at the frequency coverage (and modulation) for the BC-125AT here: https://uniden.com/products/bc125at

Most scanners will automatically set the mode of modulation (AM, FM, etc.) based on the frequency programmed. Any modulation may be used on any frequency if desired (and allowed). The inexpensive Uniden BC-125AT will receive both AM and FM. AM is automatically set when listening to aircraft...

Meanwhile, Southern California's Metrolink alerts/status updates continue to appear on X.

I"ve seen that, not just with FNBO. I believe they are "test" charges for a possible later charge. Just what I "think"!

Agreed. A scanner will provide much more info (entertainment) than a "scanner" app.
