It really just depends. I've always found them to be cool in the summer, if not bordering on cold (and I say that as a Michigander). Some people need a light jacket or cardigan if they are sensitive to cold. I did have one trip where the windows faced south most of the day, so the rooms on that...

You know how people post videos of turbulence, and there's always that one person chilling with their book while everyone else loses their mind? That's me. I'm the person reading my book and trying not to laugh (roller coaster laugh, not laughing at others' anxiety). Turbulence adds variety to...

I seriously hope you aren’t addressing me. 🤨

Oh gosh, yes. You can't turn left on red onto a two-way here either. You can turn left onto a one-way from a one-way OR two-way street, though. As for a right on red, that can be done from a one-way or two-way onto a one-way or two-way, provided there isn't a "No Turn on Red" sign.

True. Best to check provincial/state traffic laws. :)

Many people (in my experience) don't know that you can also turn left on red, provided you are turning onto a one-way street.

It's really not so bad once you've done it a couple times. :) It prevents left turn congestion at busy intersections. You mostly see them in the larger cities. This is what the signs look like, indicating the path you need to take. I couldn't figure out why this one looked so familiar, and then...

And then there’s the infamous “Michigan Left”:

Is the Sightseer Lounge open, or are they still restricting use to ensure social distancing?

Or, rather than retrofitting all of the coaches to accommodate a few annoying people, you could book a Quiet Car (if available), let the conductor know someone is being disruptive, or wear headphones. I'm sympathetic, as I hate loud cell phone talkers too, but I really don't see how creating...

Today I learned those are railroad tracks. 😄

How do you see this working on the busy corridor trains (NEC, Michigan Services, etc.)?

That's wonderful! :)

I have yet to see a news article that blames the train.

Thank goodness no one was hurt. Hopefully, the homes that were damaged weren't damaged TOO badly.

No, you missed my point about prohibition in general and took it to mean I was referring to SECONDHAND effects, which I was not, but I’m tired of trying to explain it to you.

You missed my point too. Please read my responses to Qapla on the same issue.

Hence the ~ mark to indicate approximately 330 feet. ;)

Ooh, that means I was close when I said a half-block from the lounge to the gates. :) I meant half of a Chicago "long block", which works out to ~330 feet.

This is STILL not the same thing. When I pick up a bullet, I don't expect to put my health at risk because of something unknown in that bullet. Once they realized lead was leeching out of bullets, they changed them. When I pick up a pack of cigarettes that have warning labels all over them...
