Always a dog and pony when showing up before Congress. But CEO Gardener handled himself and represented Amtrak well.

Nope, in the 90s SWA's CEO Herb did fight it, but this time around the Texas railway whatever thing got SWA's blessing. SWA only have 25 gates at Love field, and do not want to waste them on low yielding 30 minutes shuttles to Houston Hobby. The only thing this group needed was actual money, and...

Been there and done that with the HSR thing. In the 90s, and recently the Texas rail thing between Metroplex and Houston.......errrrr...............hwy 290 and I- 610 interchange. Can we have a group with a real business plan that we can get behind, instead of pie in the sky HSR designs...

When the Texas Eagle was longer. Do believe it was still three days a week in this video.

Yeah. I am still confused how the TE is where it is today and not where it should be at the SP station

There have been a couple of inspection trains between FTW and ELP over the decades. Previously it was about rerouting the Sunset to boost ridership and move to daily. Running it to Shreveport then down to NOL. The TE would split to serve SAT and HOU. Rumors and dreams.

But do they? Plenty of Amfleet, VLs and Heritage cars ended up on their sides. Deraillments that come to mind the old State House in the 80s hitting a dumptruck at 79mph and four of the five Amfleets went onto their sides. This conversation came up on over on TrainsOrder many years ago, talking...

Remember when Amtrak advertised that Superliners put you at, "See Level"? Hopefully that does not change.

Wonder why they are showing an Alstom train instead of the Siemens they ordered or looking to order? Did something change? Or is this a case of the webpage creator, "CRAP, need a highspeed train pic for the website, better go to Gettys images", and this popped up.

Running the Eagle at a 110mph will not be doing the tired Genesis locomotives any favors.

Yet last night Amtrak was showing 21 heading south of Cleburne to McGregor. I see today on the FTW cam 22 is there waiting for the bus from San Antonio. 21 was having power issues with a freight unit on the front last night. Must be using one of the locomotives from the Heartland Flyer or...

21 continued onto San Antonio for some reason. Maybe to pickup a locomotive from 2. 9am and 22 have not left San Antonio yet.

Both 21 and 22 have freight units on them and running four hours or more late. 21 will probably cancelled at FTW. The Gennies are old and tired. Some running for almost 30 years.

No one remembers the Spirt of California train?

Hopefully this video gives the non railfan some perspective to what goes on out at the yard as Amtrak employees get the dozens of Amtrak trains received restocked and ready to go back out.

If the former Airline CEO did his job right in regards to the contract, every time these breakdowns happen should be costing Siemens dearly. Is VIA having the same problems in the cold?
