    It looks like last night's #3 was towed back by a BNSF engine to ABQ early in the morning. It went through Gallup about 4am.

    Southwest Chief discussion

    The Chief has a disruption due to a washout in Arizona near the California border (between Kingman and Needles). Last night's trains terminated at Winslow (#3) and Barstow (#4). Today's #3 will terminate in Albuquerque, and become tomorrow's #4. BNSF is expecting to get one track open tomorrow.

    Freight interference in northern NM?

    Should I bring my Passport while traveling on Amtrak?

    Ok, I'm late replying. But it doesn't -- it has to be in an area where a person checks your ID first.

    Acela 2151 Stalled in Queens

    Really, the only thing that makes sense is that the brakes were stuck on and they couldn't get them to release. Otherwise, they should have been able to tow it to a station.

    There was another collision with a garbage truck very close to here back in October.

    Maybe no cellphone coverage is not always a negative for Amtrak?

    Even back in the day, you weren't totally unplugged. I remember when you got a morning newspaper in the sleepers.

    Checking up on Amtrak's (lack of) ADA compliance

    The wheelchair lift was out at Flagstaff tonight for #3, so it's definitely there and working. It was for a person not in a wheelchair but who couldn't manage the steps.

    Checking up on Amtrak's (lack of) ADA compliance

    I was at the station back in November, and there's a wheelchair lift there. I also saw on the camera recently where they used a ramp to have a wheelchair passenger come out for a smoke.
