Lol! I got a good chuckle out of this!

As planned, trains are turning in LNC. 43/42 are going through. 601, 605, 640, 642, 600, and 644 are the only morning trains that go through. Service resumes in the afternoon with 609 and 654.

There is an issue with the phones that is currently being worked on.

Yes they have. The pandemic has taken a toll on tipping the LSA’s in FC. And no one really has an idea why.

You always have a choice.

And the best part is that Septa still hasn't learned a lesson from this. IF and that's a big IF they go for another order they'll order from the lowest bidder again who doesn't have a reputation. One would think that the Rotem and this order will show the big wigs at Septa to change their ways...

8 rows are turned. Including the table seats. Bingo!

TS 8 is wrapping up its COT&S work. And TS 4 won’t be coming back. Someone stirred that rumor to me.

TS 10 is currently in Ivy City being worked up for a swap with another trainset on Monday 4/8. TS 12 is scheduled for delivery Tuesday into Wednesday.

Indeed it has. Not really sure which set it is, or why it’s there. A guess says for mechanical familiarity.

One of the trainsets was testing between Philly and Paoli today doing multiple round trips.

TS 8 to Beantown on the 1st. Scheduled to follow 172. NOT an April Fools Joke.

The plan is to add cars.

No. We don’t have checked bags on or off at Etown as it’s not a staffed station. Should you want to check bags, check them to Lancaster where they can get them off.

Train 600 is unaffected by the track work. As for what to expect, I wish I could give you an answer. T&E crews in Philly and especially Harrisburg are anxiously awaiting answers on what to expect. Once I have an answer on what to expect that I can make public I will gladly post.

For those who are interested in where the seats are split in Business Class…. Row 8 faces the restrooms, Row 9 faces the tables.

Was this in coach? Or Biz?

Beech Grove will perform a major overhaul of the units which includes a new coat of paint.

Both motors are powering in this case. If the pans were down on one then it wouldn’t be providing any motive power to the train.

Interesting hearing you say something about the stops that 2150/2167 do and don’t make. Some Acela trains don’t make NWK, NHV, STM, and even WIL. I’ll also add that the schedules have a lot of padding between WIL and BAL these days.
