Yes. It’s the only car on the train with assigned seats.

Just a heads up that seat selection before purchasing will becoming available at some point in time. So this won't be an issue. :)

From my understanding the diagram will say what seats are facing forward.

There isn’t a platform on Track one right now in LNC. It’s been completely demolished.

No problems. Just listen to your train crew’s announcements on where to detrain and you’ll be just fine. Every crew works it differently. Some crews will use the middle three cars, some the last three cars, some the first three cars.

Shockingly this is not the reason why. The State condemned the platforms at Lancaster and is handling the construction of the new platforms.

This is the answer. I'd be stunned if it wasn't.

The layout of the Coaches has changed because of bike racks and luggage towers being added in some cars. I’ve seen some Amfleet’s with half the seats backwards and another car on the same set with about 2/3’s of the seats backwards. I’m not sure exactly how this happens. But it does.

I can tell you firsthand that the seats are fixed at 50/50.

Trainset 8 is in Boston as of this afternoon for a little bit.

I will say that the previous cycles of menus had a lasagna on it, and that was one of the best dishes I've ever had on Acela in FC. Kinda wish they kept that. New menus are coming around May IINM.

For coach, no. I'm farily certain that each coach will have the seats facing half backwards/forwards in diffrent rows. It's hard to keep that consistent. Keep in mind that this is a Business Class car layout above. Coach doesn't have any tables. Folks I can confirm that this will go into...

Trainset 11 quietly made its way to Philadelphia this week. This is the set that will be used for training.

As of this afternoon (2/20) TS 8 is undergoing COT&S with the 6 passenger cars in Bear and the two Power Cars (2014/2019) in Wilmington. Also, TS 4 is one of the first trainsets that was semi-retired. The power cars (2001/2003) are in Wilmington for work.

I can personally testify that the OBS employees do NOT have a strong union. The OBS employees as stated earlier voted down their contract offer. Because the union officials didn't listen to their members in my opinion. The vote was an overwhelming "NO". I think it was something llike 80% of the...

Are you sure about that? Keep in mind that Amtrak had multiple Superliner’s in Philadelphia during the Pope Francis visit and they sent them back west via the PH line.

I believe they have drinks like Bloody Mary’s, Screwdrivers, etc. in the morning

Again, it’s my opinion. I’m not saying that’s whats happening.

The train hit a deer outside of Route 128 and it damaged the ACSES and Cab Signal equipment. They were only allowed 59 MPH to New Haven where a motor was added.

See my post about adding Acela trips in the “Acela Discussion” thread. 😉 More Regional trips are coming soon. March 4th.
