Sounds like a great trip Jim. We are leaving Tuesday for Massachusetts and New Hampshire on the LSL. Nice to be back on a train after 18 months.

After looking at the MBTA site, it looks like there may be more weekend delays due to bridge construction near Framingham.

Thanks for the information.

Just noticed that today's LSL 448 was transferred to Ambus at Albany. Anyone know what the story is there? Planning trip to Worcester in a couple weeks and hoping they havent changed over to the busing between Albany and Boston as has been the case in previous years.

Rode it on one of its last Adirondack trips a few years ago.

Taking LSL to and from Worcester Union Station in April. I know there are no checked baggage there but is there any place to store bags or sit while waiting for 449? Anyone been there in the past few months. Thanks for the info

Saw the newly painted 50th Anniversary Amtrak Loco #46 in Elkhart this morning. Nice large reflective 50 on the side. Celebrating Amtrak 50 years of service. Not sure if there will be others painted for the celebration

Looks like #3 is stuck in ABQ since 3pm this afternoon. Anyone hear what the problem is?

Cap 29 and LSL 49, CZ 6 and SWC 4 have always come in head first in my 13 years of riding. Several times the CONO has backed into Chicago. Not sure if there is any given pattern.

As Dakota 400 reported, Ohio has made it easy to get your absentee ballot and vote as long as you dont wait until last minute. Many of our local people have voted in person at the BOE OFFICE. We only have 20,000 in the city so not a huge line except on first 2-3 days. Wife & I went down around...

We were in Bedroom A once and as Penny said, for one person it will be fine. But we are both larger people and would not want to do that again. Bathroom is a bit difficult to manipulate the doorway when beds are down. . Also if there is a wait line for the diner and you are in the 00 car, noise...

We will be on 4 & 48 ABQ-CLE at end of the month. Looks like some major delays between ABQ & Lamy today. 3-4 hour delays both ways. Track work or an accident??

Wish I had known earlier and I would have followed the train. But we are a couple hours from Alliance and three hours to PGH. Is the American View on this train??

I believe you cannot book BOS to BON since you have to take a bus, cab or metro for that connection.

Hello Fellow AUers. As much as I enjoy discussions of railroad history and especially the old South Penn line, we need to move this thread back to its original intent of Amtrak's future. Let's conclude our PA Turnpike posts and move it back down the line. Thanks

Enjoying your report Steve. Been watching the rail fan cameras and wishing I was on a train again, but wife's medical issues preclude any trip until this Covid thing is under some control.

Looks like significant delays again on the Pennsylvanian the last few days. . Also operating with an NS freight loco on the lead the last two days. Lost an hour between Harrisburg and Lewistown today. ??

Wires down = major delays. Thanks

Noticed that Pennsylvanian 42 was running close to ontime until after Lancaster Pa, where it now is 3+ hours down. Westbound 43 was held up in Philly all afternoon. Anyone know of an accident or freight derailment in that area?

Back to trains please.
