I was on 449/49 on Monday night. The consist listed above was correct. I was only in the dining car around 7 for dinner but the only people in there were passengers eating. It was a very full train and a line of people who wanted to eat in the diner. Many chose just to grab their meal and...

Yes, the AGR agent said their hours are now 8-8. I only waited 10 minutes on my last AGR call on Wed. Look forward to seeing you in Roanoke

Enjoyed your trip back in time Eddie, Similar circumstances in my old hometown. House where I was born is gone, my schools are all torn down, the places I worked are all gone. Time marches On.

There have been two significant derailments near the Curve in the past few months. All trailer or containers Track elevation??

My understanding is that the trailers were all empty.

Enjoyed our trip, perfect weather. Playing golf 3 times each week when my back can take it. Was in 90s last week but nice today 72

I wrote a book on railroads in our area and the Hagley Library on the Dupont property had a fantastic archive of PRR documents. Made two trips there in 1999=2000. We stayed in Maryland with Claudia's cousin and I drove back and forth each day for several wild and crazy trips on I-95. That was...

We started our day with a bag breakfast provided by the hotel. Juices, pastry, oranges, muffins, yogurt was provided with coffee. A very nice clean place to stay and was very reasonable compared to other NY hotels. And did I say convenience... Walked across the street and were guided to the...

After a successful trip to New England in April, we decided to venture out to New York to see the new Moynihan Train Hall and a brief visit to Washington DC to evaluate the changes that have occurred since January 6. We began at our CLE station after a 1.5 hour drive from home. The station was...

At Flagstaff this morning two trains combined and heading west back to LA. Four Amtrak locos out front. Two bags in the back trailed by two private cars. Major shifting of passengers and baggage that took nearly an hour to complete. Virtual Railfan cams had the action.

2 has been sitting in TUC for over an hour. Everyone still on board, engines fueled, but no activity on the platforms

Enjoyed your trip report and glad you were able to meet up with the two mystery AU members. 😁 Hope to make it over to NY over this summer. Connects from CLE are not conducive to turn around trips so need to find a place to stay. Your Fairfield Inn sounds good. Glad you survived the airline...

Glad we were on 448 and 449 in April and avoided the bustitutions. We got messages from MBTA saying the service was going to be limited the next week and busing would likely take place for their passengers on weekends.

Something happening south of Florence as both Autotrains and Silver Meteor stopped in service disruptions. Hoping just a freight delay but odd that all three trains are halted.

Enjoyed your report Joe. Many good memories of our NYP trip, Staten Island Ferry and the SIRR. Hope to get to see the new Moynihan Station in near future. Our first Amtrak post vaccine Covid trip was last week to NY, MA, NH & ME. It was good to get out of Ohio for a few days :)

We pre selected our meals on 448 last week but when we went to the diner, we could order whatever meal we chose from the menu. There did not seem to be any record other than they may have stocked the diner with meals based on the pre select orders. We did not pre select on the trip home on 449...

A few shots of Worcester Union Station. Our locos at Albany.

A few shots from our trip on the LSL & Downeaster

Just returned from our birthday Amtrak trip to New England states. Our first train trip since fall of 2019 and after getting our vaccines last month, we decided to venture out. Left on Tuesday April 13 from Cleveland on Amtrak Lake Shore Limited 48/448 at 5:45am and headed east. We were in...

Off to Worcester, MA and then a ride on the Downeaster to Brunswick, ME to check out the mileage from Portland. Bedrooms on the LSL to avoid as much contact as possible. Have had our second shots four weeks ago, but still wearing masks everywhere, avoiding large crowds, and only playing golf...
