Does this train go through Donner Pass? jb

What's more important than the livery is that the outside of the trains be kept clean and shiny. Lots of dirt on a new livery isn't going to sell seats. jb

Both of them. jb

For all of us who haven't a clue what you're talking about, please explain. jb

This is a recurring question. Did Hertz close its rental desk in the Orlando station or is it open for business? jb

I would make sure that your conductor knows you have to connect with the LSL. As of right now, 6(29) is due to arrive in Chicago at 8.53 p.m. 48(31) is due to depart at 9.30 p.m. They might want to escort you right from one train to the other. Don't forget to tell the conductor if you've got...

We rented an Avis car at Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal in November, 2021. We had no issues. jb

Does anybody have any insight as to why the Ethan Allen extension plan didn't connect the train lines after coming all the way up from Rutland? jb

So to do a loop trip to Vermont via the future Ethan Allen Express and the current Vermonter, you'd have to transfer somehow from one station to the other? jb

Will the Ethan Allen Express stop in Burlington in the same place that the Vermonter does? Or will it be at another, somewhat nearby, station? jb

What Amtrak management doesn't realize is that by publishing the GTFS data, a lot of this work (timetables, maps, alerts, apps, ...) can be outsourced to us willing outsiders, and they don't have to pay for it anymore. On the other hand, Amtrak's IT department probably does realize it and...

Looks good. You're going to need a way to show the time zones, though. jb

The rest of the story: My wife was to take 91 tonight from Cary, NC, to Orlando. My daughter was to drive from Atlanta to Orlando today, so that they could vacation together in Florida. After we learned about the derailment, it didn't take too long for Amtrak to cancel 91 out of New York -...

91 is already canceled out of NYP. Now we see if they start one out of WAS. jb

Amtrak just announced that the NEC is temporarily suspended because of a NS derailment at Aberdeen. If anyone has any information on how bad this is, please post it. The wife is supposed to take 91 tonight. Maybe it'll get through there or maybe they'll start the train out of Washington. JB

Those interested should read the feedback presented by users of the App. It doesn't track trains. It tracks you and your position/speed, etc..., and presumes that you are on a train. jb

I would suggest as an alternative ASM Schedules Summary. jb

Looks to me like the westbound Cardinal (51) goes through Charlottesville on Friday and Sunday, but not Saturday. jb

In case you can't find it, ASM is here. ASM gets its information from the Amtrak reservations system. Transitdocs and Amtrak's Track-A-Train use Amtrak's GPS tracking system. So fortunately if one source is down, usually the other one isn't. jb

The old timer's way is to count the seconds between mileposts and divide 3600 by it. For example, 40 seconds will yield 90 MPH. jb
