That was true in past years, but so far this year, 9810 has been VL1; 9811 & 9812 have been VL2.

That remains to be seen, as Amtrak has not yet updated the schedules, they've just blocked sales.

New version uploaded with updated schedule times.

Major delays on NEC: Service Disruption: As of 5:36 PM ET, Due to downed overhead power lines between Newark (NWK) and New York (NYP), All travel in the area is temporarily stopped. Crews are working to resolve the issue. We will send updates as new information becomes available. 5:37 PM · May...

My focus is on the LD routes. I've added a few regionals, but it would be too much work to add them all. I've also included the approximate time offset from the nearest LD station, so that one can find the train's arrival or departure on the Transitdocs history and estimate the time at the cam.

That's a good one. I added it. Thanks.

Same today: 4 coaches, cafe, diner, VL1, VL2, VL2, baggage.

I requested an updated version of the RFP, hoping to see the missing "Conceptual Car Layout for Priority Sleeper." Denied by Amtrak FOIA: I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that that language applies to the responses from the manufacturers, not the request. It's hardly a trade secret of...

Yes, I have several of theirs on the list. I didn't add them all, because they have several cameras in a fairly small area, just giving slightly different views of EB. I haven't taken the time to go thru their newer ones.

Train wraps -- There were 8 trainsets running ORL-MIA today (Sunday): 4 fully wrapped 2 wrapped leaving windows clear 2 unwrapped After 1 run, one of the fully wrapped trains was replaced by an unwrapped one. So about a 50/50 chance of getting unobstructed windows, if that one set hadn't...

I uploaded an updated table of Amtrak railcams. Most VRF links have changed; the main cams are still free on YouTube, but the 2nd & 3rd cams per location are now member only. Also added VRF cams for Acela, Vermonter, Cardinal, Crescent, Brightline, and NEC between NYP & BOS. Still haven't...

The pizza was dumped for a stromboli a couple years ago. But they also have the hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, & grilled (or microwaved) cheese sandwich, plus a couple of cold sandwiches and salads. The quality may or may not be better than Flex, but at least there are more options.

At least they've gone back to the reasonably sized Paul Newman salad dressings on the Silvers, after a brief fling with the tiny generic packets. I like the Raspberry Vinaigrette, which was available by request last month.

I can't find anything on the internet about a footrace on the Bay Bridge that weekend, nor about a bridge closure. The Bay Bridge Half Marathon was on 5/5/24. The SF Marathon is not until July.

It varies by location. Of the 4 lounges I've visited, CHI, NYP, & WAS do, but PHL does not.

I wonder whether this will be the end to the diner doubling as a 1st class lounge between meal periods.

97(16) had a bunch of extra cars stuck to its rear: a VL2, a diner, and 2 coaches. Maybe positioning for the expanded consist?

Expected completion - 2032. But it's California. Maybe it'll get done by 2037.

That's how it was when the Meteor had 3 sleepers in the past, but I don't think anybody has said for certain whether it will be the same when they go back to 3 sleepers next month.

Yes, I the Blue Line slow zones were all eliminated last month, and Red Line slow zones in the downtown core area were just recently resolved. People are saying, "Wow, the subways are actually moving like subways should." :)
