Is there any easy reference to find the original railroads that current Amtrak routes use? Should I just ask here. Crescent uses the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line from Atlanta to Charlotte then the NCRR from Charlotte to Greensboro and north of Greensboro to Danville the Piedmont Railroad was...

The DMV used the colored waiting room for license renewal until a few months ago. I wish they would put a restaurant in that location or use it as a waiting room. That might happen some day as more trains happen in Greensboro. What I would really like is an unstaffed lounge for business class...

I was going to volunteer station host this morning at Greensboro. When I noticed it was 4 hours late I decided to sleep in just a bit more and arrive in time for the first Piedmont of the day and then the Carolinian.

Is someone willing to purchase some for resale near cost plus shipping?

Trains February 1949 page 46 has an interesting article on Palenstine (middle east and not the recent NS wreck.) in late WWII. I did not realize it was so extensive with the rail network in that area. Trains July 1946 page 5. -------------- I thought Talgo was Spanish. Did the Spanish...

It is interesting how the company has gone in different directions. Out west signing with construction unions, and hopefully extending that to their own employees with a neutrality agreement. I am not sure if BL Florida us actively fighting unionization or not. Either way they are not getting...

And I would not want them to do that either until Brightline is union and I have not clear indication that it is unionized. And that means on board and station based employees.

It gives me something to do so I enjoy it myself,except for the safety straps. Those can be hard to place around the support rods. In the roomette last summer I did not get the lower chairs all the way out and the SCA asked if I was fine with that I and I was. I had a bit of reclining and I...

What is the max number of future trips can be posted on the Amtrak phone app? I have 11 segments on my phone at present, which is an all-time personal high. I am sure that is small potatoes compared to some, but I am excited. If someone took Amtrak everyday for a job that could be 600 or...

Trains August 1948 is all about the Chicago Railroad Fair with a lot of maps and info about passenger stations.

I ran across that ad as well.

Trains, July 1947 page 4

Where can one find a copy ? I don't need an original edition but a decent reprint is good enough for me. That is pretty much the zenith of passenger rail in the US for number of routes served and miles of passenger rail. I have been to webpages with PDF pages here and there but a printed book...

Track has been pulled out of the ground but very likely going back into the ground for what should be a Raleigh-Wilmington Amtrak. Most of the rail is in place and I am not sure how much is missing but I have never heard of that happening before. Generally once pulled it is gone forever and...

Trains January 1947. Interesting article on page 4 about branch line passenger service. To think the amount of trains back then and they were past the WWII bump and they were discussing BRANCH line passenger service. How many main lines do not have passenger service now?

Trains September 1946 ad about passenger service. Page 4 if you want to see the original. The same issue has "To Washington on the Crescent." and the article starts Atlanta and heads to DC.

Asheville and Wilmington will both be funded by NC itself just as the Piedmont is now. The Asheville trip will be Asheville to Salisbury, though a complete mountain to the sea would be great! Wilmington will be Raleigh-Wilmington. Connecting those will be the Carolinian and Piedmont trains...

Trains April 1946 on page 36 this is a great illustration of the passenger stations on Manhattan island. I could post a picture if desired but mostly want to mention this and those with access can go right to it.

Trains, June 1945 Wouldn't it be nice if: . . . coaches and parlor cars on the better trains were equipped with public address systems to announce stations and important points of inter est, perhaps an occasional news flash? E. F. Hunter Jr. --- Now it would "Wouldn't it be nice if: one could...

Trains April 1945 has a note about new timetables on the B&M. Does anyone have a before and after to post? New B&M Timetable People who for years have maintained that no one can possibly understand a rail road timetable will be pleased with the new timetable of die Boston & Maine, an entirely...
