Do these rumblings include the possibility of a third NY-FL train?

Surge pricing around closing time near the Amtrak station is very unlikely. The station is in a very industrial part of town without very many clubs or bars around. While there is always the possibility of increased demand it is more likely to come from people at the station ordering Uber’s than...

The easiest way to get to downtown Miami would be to get off the Meteor in Hollywood, take Tri Rail to either the Tri Rail Metrorail Transfer station or Miami Airport and then take Metrorail to downtown Miami. Of course Metrorail only has two stops downtown so once there you will need to...

Just like you showed humility and didn’t make assumptions when you told me how I felt up thread? Or does your advice only apply to everyone but you?

Telling someone to get over their own self importance and then complaining because your train was delayed by a suicide is rich. I’m sorry you missed your friends funeral but I have the same amount of compassion for you as you did for the poor soul that took his own life.

Hence the reason that I said you the OP would probably be fine. Ultimately the only thing that matters is the OP’s ability to sleep through loud noises, not yours or mine.

Really it all boils down to how you sleep. Do you live near train tracks or a fire station? If you can sleep through the noise from that then you are probably fine. If however you are a light sleeper and any noise wakes you up then you are probably in for a long night.

I don’t understand the fascination with getting airline executives to run Amtrak. But since it’s a thing why not just go for the gusto and hire the worst of the worst, Jeff Smisek.

Are there any instances when a person can be eligible for SS and Railroad Retirement. For example if a person were to spend twenty years in a non-railroad job paying into SS and then spend another twenty years working for the railroad paying into Railroad Retirement would they be eligible for...

Tell that to Philando Castile, or Charles Kinsey, or Justine Diamond, or Botham Jean.

My recommendation would be to rent a car as soon as you arrive in Miami, head down US1 away from the airport toward the Keys and find a nice hotel somewhere in the Homestead/Florida City area. The Miami Airport Tri Rail station is actually attached to the airport rental car center. When you...

Wherever and whoever you heard this from is wrong. Sailors are specifically prohibited from using public transportation between Norfolk and the Northern Virginia/DC area. The only approved method of travel is a POV or GOV.

I don’t think track capacity was ever really an excuse Amtrak used. Regardless once Tri-Rail starts running half their trains to MiamiCentral track capacity will be an even bigger non-issue. 

There are two major sets of north-south tracks in S. Florida. The tracks furthest east are the tracks that Brightline runs on. These tracks more or less run through the downtown areas of Miami, Ft Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The second set, further west and more or less within sight of I-95...

The easiest way would be LIRR to Jamaica and then the AirTrain from there to your terminal. You would have to buy a separate ticket for the LIRR but you can use a metro card for the AirTrain portion. 

Metro North only goes as far as Poughkeepsie on the Hudson Line. Amtrak is the only option to Rhinecliff so your friend will have to transfer at NYP to an Empire Service train. 

It wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed. I’m originally from and went to high school in Dade County and an alumnus of my high school worked for the cruise line. So we didn’t have to pay for any transportation to the port (my mom dropped me off and picked me up) and we got a really good group rate...

I’ve been on one cruise on the Costa Atlantica for senior class trip back in 2003. I was only 17 then and still had a blast even though I couldn’t partake in the more adult activities. While I’ve been to sea many many times since I have never taken another cruise.
