Metra has lines that are operated by BNSF and UP, which coincidentally both railroads own SD70MACs themselves. Metra also shares trackage operated by freight trains too, so they'll be fine on Metra.

That station and the location around it is just nice. The new station actually looks like a train station. The location is a little further away from the attractions, but I-4 is nearby. From the station, heading out southbound on New York Avenue and turning right onto Fairbanks, head straight...

As some have stated, not too many amenities near any of the Orlando stations compared to 30th Street. Winter Park however, you do have more food options when it comes to waiting for your incoming train. Last time I got off after my trip from NYC at the station I simply took a bus, which...

I hope the MTA gets the funding needed to implement the modernization of the system.

Looking at all the damage and the freight cars on the ground, that was one hell of a storm. Storm of the century here. Strengthened to 155mph at landfall and without hyperbole, if it had another hour or more in the waters, there is no telling how strong it would of gotten before landfall. It's...

Weather Channel is reporting 15 dead. I also don't find it funny to be making jokes about disasters. It's a bad idea in my opinion and it's only funny until it happens to you. I have a friend, who has family in North Carolina. They had a large tree land on their house. Real life people, not a joke.

^ And the monorail idea essentially died last year on top of that.

This has nothing to do with Sunrail's second phase, but PTC will be completed on the Sunrail corridor by the year's end. It's being installed by Wabtec. https://www.progressiverailroading.com/ptc/news/Wabtec-inks-62-million-PTC-contract-with-SunRail--53927 While Sunrail has more hourly...

That was in reference to Greyhound discontinuing routes at a rapid pace compared to the last time Amtrak had to discontinue a route, which was the Three Rivers back in 2005. Basically I was stating that at the rate things are going, Greyhound would be the first to go before Amtrak does.

You'll be lucky Greyhound doesn't go out first before Amtrak gets a chance too. It's been years since Amtrak discontinued a route. As for the possible scenario with Diners, contacting senators and representatives is a good idea.

There is a link on the article to the new schedule, which is much more improved compared to the current schedule. It's not perfect, but a step in the right direction. http://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2018/06/18/sunrail-releases-new-schedule-ahead-of-southern-expansion

We know the outcome of Orlando service. Approved, so come 2021 looks like I'll meeting some of you. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orange/os-brightline-gets-orange-ok-20180619-story.html

Amtrak would take over 3-4+ hours from Tampa to those end points (provided the train isn't delayed). Megabus would be able to do the trip quicker. It's not really fair to compare Amtrak long distance trains to Brightline. If Amtrak had state supported trains in this state, it would be a better...

About good ol' Lynx, going a bit off topic for this. You would have to take two buses 11/40 between OIA and the Amtrak station. The best bus service from an Amtrak station in this city is the one in Winter Park. The 102 operates every 15 minutes between Downtown Orlando and Fern Park. There are...

Speaking of Orlando I took these today of the airport terminal via a bus. It looks really good.

I too disagree. Maintaining a status quo that hasn't worked for long period of time in transportation is insane. Especially in today's changing world where more people are depending on transportation now then ever before. I'm also pretty sure Richard Anderson has heard all of the excuses as to...

Last I heard, they've been out of service since the Brookville locomotives and Rotem cars went into service for Tri-Rail. They're also stored with surplus equipment too. Their condition is unknown.

Glad Miami Central will be completed soon. I need to check the station in Orlando, I think that station is almost finished or close too. They just need to lay track up there. I'm not too far from the airport.

This didn't take long. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Woman-Struck-Killed-by-Brightline-High-Speed-Train-in-Boynton-Beach-469074483.html

I don't agree with how he ran CSX or railroads before CSX. However, it sucks he died at a time family is suppose to be together. I hope his family is doing okay in this tough period of time.
