The problem there is that Denver Union Station has only 2 tracks that can accommodate superliners at this time. All other tracks are high level to host commuter trains.

Here are some of my photos. This was train 8 at Shelby, MT and Dunkirk, MT, same day. I tend to use the last one as my profile picture on other platforms.

They also have agreements where the locomotives owned by another railroad can operate at a set price per horsepower hour, which can be paid back in either cash or horsepower hours by the railroad with the positive balance.

Be sure to check dates that the sunset limited is scheduled to operate. I was just able to get a quote from Tucson to Seattle using 14 and 1.

Are the platforms set further back to allow freight trains to pass through the stations?

Ok, so here are my thoughts about computers searching for schedules in the case of rescheduling passengers. While I could probably program the software myself, given enough time and incentive, the first question I would have is “What heuristic should I use for the algorithm?” Most likely, the...

How about an app that shows the estimated configuration of the trains?

What train? PSA: This website is not operated by Amtrak, we are just a group of people that like Amtrak trains, and have some background knowledge.

Up to several hours.

While the maneuver would take too long to describe adequately, but the linked page below does a good job of describing it. http://www.sdmrra.org/Odds-n-Ends/saw_bye.htm'> http://www.sdmrra.org/Odds-n-Ends/saw_bye.htm

A so called “saw by” maneuver can be used to have two trains too long for the siding pass each other at one.

Cruise Ships have the same term, and it can be quite fun to watch for the runners as the ship departs a port...

That route is a BNSF line that is already operating at capacity. Only one UP diversion allowed each day, from what I heard. I doubt Amtrak will be able to secure that as an alternative.

No TV or Newspaper, but the Great Falls market picked up the story. That is likely due to loosing staff at both of the nearest stations.

I absolutely agree with your assessment of the situation, and I have a story of my own to share. One day, last summer, I agreed to come in to cover a shift for a co-worker. Of course, that shift, which was supposed to be a fairly short one, ended up being 11 hours long due to the scheduled...

Not trapped any more, shipped home...

I think a roughly 1/3 scale steam locomotive has more earnings potential and “glamour” factor than an equivalent n scale layout. An update to this thread is that the railroad shown has shut down in advance of selling the land that it was hosted on. Total costs for the construction of the...

There is a time delay, as Amtrak doesn’t share real time location data for any of their trains with the public.

If I remember right, that was close to the model that the Northern Pacific used, where the railroad used subsidiaries to generate traffic, mainly in the timber and agricultural industries.
