Are you thinking, Stewart, Sir Rod?

Funny you posted, my YouTube algorhythm was suggesting a cab ride view from the People Mover.

Will they be testing the underground units with various types of snow.... (like the wrong kind)

Of course, one could I suppose argue, that the open access for pax wouldn't really work here since our system is skewed to freight while Europe's is skewed to pax (plus the differences in ownership of the rails/tracks themselves is different in NA vs Europe...).

Well, my aunt had a Karmann Ghia and they travelled together....

Interestingly, if you were to drive a similar route to the LSL, which takes around 20 hours, it was be about 15-1/2 hours. Driving to Boston is similar, but the train takes even longer.

Hahaha, I'll go back! It wasn't that bad of a connection - at least it can be done - I just threw in some pictures. You certainly can't walk to O'Hare as easily - though you could get to the shuttle and take that in to the terminal, Midway is right on a busy street with sidewalks and a bus...

The question of what the contractual obligation of the RR's is to starting their own passenger service (Amtrak joiners that is) is, irrespective of whether they will or want to, a good question. I don't think we've gotten a concrete answer - if we did I missed it.

I think that's true; anecdotal story here.... My mom had a friend from Mississippi (or Alabama, can't remember which, but I think Ms) who grew up in a small railroad town. The black children, when she was a kid, were where the white children got info on the bright lights of the big cities...

See Mike from Crete's post:

Way down in like U Park or Olympia Fields somewhere.

So to update; I used the route in the post above, was actually quite a nice walk and it ends up by the Crystal City Water Park (no, it's not a big amusement park) where I had a delicious meal. It's not a great route into the terminal via the parking garage - outbound I went from Hertz via the...

Rode everyday in the before times, now once or twice a week. My line* has the most frequencies and best on-time performance. Not happy about new fare structure and elimination of the ten-ride ticket and forcing people to the app. But on-train and in station staff are generally good. *owned and...

Found another route (google maps routes to the south) which appears to be an official route from the Airport itself: https://www.flyreagan.com/sites/flyreagan.com/files/2022-06/Biking%20Map_0.JPG

Hopefully this is the best place for my quick question. I'm going to Crystal City tomorrow from DCA and it looks like a reasonable walk or one stop on the Metro - suggestions, advice (have another destination, but that's by... ack... car since it's not transit accessible)?

Since this is the newest and most up to date thread on the subject, (I think anyways.... ) I'm going to post this here since manufacturers and rolling stock and interiors (iirc) were posted upthread. Interior renderings of CA Bullet Train...

Amtrak does want to build more maintenance buildings on the portion of the yard that they do own, but are stymied by the existing Union Station Power Plant which has been unused for many years and is in bad shape (poor exterior condition - interior and roof not great - structure itself might be...

I'd say that the Rover P5 Coupé kind of qualifies as well - it was built with a much lower roofline than the standard Saloon (aka Sedan).

Honestly, this is why you don't build tracks on beaches and at the base of bluffs, even if it is the easiest and flattest route...

For those of you who don't have a high opinion of the Chicago staff this will only reinforce it... Came across this strange story this morning - and not exactly sure what happened here, but this was on the local news...
