With 6 terminating at SLC and 5 terminating at GJT, you'd thing a bus bridge would have been in order. jb

Okay, so it's like the Adirondack going from New York to Montreal. Amtrak doesn't have enough resources (crews, trainsets, ...) to run the train at a slower speed. jb

"Heat restrictions again." Again? I don't remember 19 and 20 not running south of Atlanta because of heat restrictions before. jb

"They generally add a few days in case something happens." I'm thinking of boarding 20 there to go on a two-week trip. What about the adding a few days? jb

Is there any long-term parking at Greensboro? Where is it? How much does it cost? How many spaces are there? (What's the probability of finding a vacant space?) jb

Why are 19 and 20 not currently running between New Orleans and Atlanta? (8/15/2023). jb

So are you saying that Amtrak is still posting the information as Tweets and that you can see them if you are logged onto Twitter/X, but that Amtrak is not posting them (for whatever reason) on its Service Alerts page? It seems like it would be better if they would post them directly on the...

Jis, How are you getting Amtrak Alerts now? jb

How are you getting to their Alerts? I tried that and didn't get anything. Thanks, jb

We're planning a trip from Los Angeles to New Orleans on the Sunset Limited. The train will arrive at New Orleans late in the evening, if it's on time. I was planning to retrieve our checked bags the day following our arrival. So how long do I have after the train arrives to pick them up...

For automatic protection, it's not going to be cheaper. And besides whatever it is, it is going to have to be a standard item that all drivers recognize. That's precisely what the crossbucks are, along with the advance RR Xing warning sign and the RR paint on the pavement. jb

Where's "H"? I know it comes after "G" and before "I", but where is it geographically? jb

By the way, was it 84 or 86 that derailed? jb

Further cancellations, all trains originating 7/11: 19, 89, 91, 97 This is obviously going to take some time to clean up, even though in the media it's being called a "minor" derailment. So my question is, why can't the trains detour around the station the way the freight trains go...

Train 86 has derailed in the tunnel south of Washington Union Station. Northward trains are being held at Alexandria. Train 79 is canceled BETWEEN Washington and Raleigh. Train 80 is being terminated at Raleigh. jb
