No. Community dining has been suspended.

Even during super busy periods, as long as they are serviced at the turns, they should be able to handle it. However, that is part of normal circumstances. An abnormal circumstance would be an en-route manipulation where the train didn't reach its endpoint. Another example is if the train is...

No...that is in violation of ADA rules. (d) Passenger coaches or food service cars shall have the number of spaces complying with §1192.125(d)(2) and the number of spaces complying with §1192.125(d)(3), as required by 49 CFR 37.91. The ADA requires that intercity rail trains provide a number...

Ok....and as we posted on this board, the Auto Train departures were canceled on 3/31 and 4/1. You are posting the ARRIVAL information for 4/2. If the train (which operates overnight) doesn't depart on 4/1, how could it possibly arrive on 4/2?

On the other side of the heroic efforts of Mr. Garret Goble sits the (alleged) asinine efforts of Mr. Eduardo Moreno. What was initially regarded as poor craftmanship and justification for PTC in yards and terminals, turned into some more sinister when he decided to speak...

This is terrible. Pitcures are enclosed in the link. https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-dead-injured-fire-moving-harlem-subway-20200327-bzasn2dwpvclzidv6pb7txz32e-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0Rt3FQre_BIkFHTCwbGQfXYMv9-vVfDKBGN02qcem8VhXw0RFNUvlDvo0

When they started drafting this train and the new equipment plans, they actually had a contractor come out and monitor the bathroom usage over the Thanksgiving travel period. They monitored the existing Acela and the Regional trains over the turns throughout the travel period to see if it was...

As mentioned in the Amtrak related COV19 thread: BNSF typically requires Amtrak to operate the Empire Builder with three units during major snow events. The bottom line is Ryan hit 90% of it with this post: The additional point is often fuel consideration on some of the longer routes...

Amtrak only stated that it was canceled on 3/31 and 4/1 so it is obviously expected to operate today. I haven't seen anything from Amtrak saying they are canceling the Auto train for today or any other day. After a search, the only place that mentions the Auto Train is Dixielandsoftware.net...

That was actually posted on this board in the appropriate thread. However, they wisely pulled the plug. Even though the projects should move forward, I think this is a terrible time to test new equipment.

No...they've been aware of it since it was first proposed. Notice it doesn't say "points to reconsider." It says "may need talking points," which will be used to smooth it over and tell you to get over it. :cool:

No. I was referring to the new Seimen's car that was supposed to arrive in PHL for testing on the NEC. It was supposed to start testing but they just pulled the plug on it until further notice. I think that was a wise move.

Consider we have an entire thread devoted to it (CZ has been affected by the virus), I would think the answer is yes.

Amtrak used their own engine. They towed an extra car carrier and used the wye at Lakeland to make their way back to SFA at track speed. That's a good guess.

Coming to SW5th in WDO. Do your thing, Quapla.

Well done commander! Okay, all of you Boppers! The AUto Pain is north of OCA, closing in one Hawthorne. That's about 15 miles from the outskirts of WDO so I'm guestimating 1000p, depending on your location in WDO..

Okay all of you boppers out there! It looks like it is past Penny K and we haven't heard from COCO. It's up to Qapla to catch some video of this train. Currently it is making a run out of Wildwood, heading towards OCA. Stay tuned, boppers! Stay tuned!

Are you still out there? it is north of DDE and is roughly 30 miles from the outskirts of WWD.

It left LKL a few minutes ago. Once it clears the wye, they cut the tow engine off and the engines on the rear will pull it to LOR. By doing this, they make sure the automobiles are properly pointed for unloading.
