I see that over the past few days, the Borealis had a dash 8 on it. It's kind of a treat to see that on it.

This would be a great help relieving some of the overload at Cincinnati! This is great news that Ohio is getting another active Amtrak station!

That's really cool! I expect that there will be railfans and train enthusiasts along the next few starting journeys. I would have loved to listen in on the different conversations that happened. Very expected. That's really cool that a lot of railfans and photographers went trackside. From what...

#1333 departed CUS with phase 7 P42s both ends:

Welcome to the AU forum, Joseph. I wish Amtrak came to my town as well. Amtrak is 2+ hours in any direction of where I am, so I fully understand where you are coming from.

A railcam between NYP&WAS (or anything near WAS in general) would be a great railcam spot, and I know that it would get loads of views and traffic as that is a busy passenger rail corridor.

From my understanding, I think the HHP8s are slated to replace the metroliner cab cars for those routes, correct? I'm sure it will be those for a while before it gets Airo rolling stock.

Those on tonight's (4/8) #59 out of Chicago will be saddened that there is not a sightseer lounge in the trainset. I know that CONO sometimes has two on it to help meet CN's axel requirement.

I'm sure that they will need to add some more coaches to the Pennsylvanian to accommodate the Keystone passengers if needed. I know that at times, the Pennsylvanian can become pretty crowded around that area. I plan on watching the railcams around the start of that time to see what ends up being...

It's been quite a while since a Dash 8 has led on the Hiawathas. It was cool to see it on again...

From what I've experienced, Chicago does have a gift shop where some clothing items are sold. Cincinnati's Union Station's gift shop had some of the kid items there. I wouldn't see them being sold on actual trains any time soon though.

When I was there recently, I wondered the same thing about the structure outside near the entrance. @PaTrainFan I'm glad you got a peek inside. I'm assuming this is something for the maintenance staff as their area is behind that sliding door right before the escalator/stairs. My other other...

Around that time, it's usually either Illini or Saluki heading north through the Chicago area.

I usually online railfan #59 at night from the railcams that it passes, but I saw that tonight (2/29)'s southbound CONO from Chicago was cancelled. I couldn't find an explanation on Amtrak's website for the cancellation (via Train Status) nor on the AmtrakAlerts Twitter page. Does anyone know...

Those aboard tonight's (2/27) #30 from Chicago tonight got the treat of having a sightseer lounge car added to their trainset. I'm sure that its purpose was deadheading, but I'm sure they opened it up to passengers on board as it is between the other two superliners.

When I travel from Columbus to take the Pennsylvanian in the early morning, I park in the Greyhound's parking garage. It's very convenient, but from what I've seen inside the actual Greyhound area, it has been somewhat shady and I did feel unsafe. Although, when I pay for parking there, there is...

Usually while I'm at the station railfanning and watching the CL pass through from the upstairs area right before I head onto the Pennsylvanian, I've heard the attendants tell the CL passengers that there is a Starbucks nearby (about 15 min walk, shown below) but it doesn't open until 7A. It's a...

Wasn't Baton Rouge, LA in that list somewhere as well?

Not sure if these posts would be moved to the Ohio finally starts the process for new Amtrak service thread, but we appreciate the share @dlagrua ! As an Amtrak railfan in Columbus itself, I'm hopeful, but I know it's quite a long ways away.

From what I've been seeing on railcams, tonight's EB #30 had a deadheading amfleet cafe car at the rear. It doesn't look like it was in revenue service, and did not utilize its native lights (as it had an EOTD / end of train device). I know sometimes they attach amfleet cafe cars on other...
