    Stadler Flirt Review

    Currently, TexRail is the only operator in the USA, but there are 3 of the 2 unit variant on order for the Arrow, and 8 more of the 4 unit variant on order for the DART Silver Line. Both of these should be online in the next 2-3 years.

    Train 4 Southwest chef really got hosed by a stalled freight train

    Looks like 3 also took a big hit, but not this big... Is this the train that has Metrolink coaches tagging along? How likely is it to combine with the next 4?

    Superliner Bedrooms--Price Differentials

    Just reiterating my suspicions here... I do think there is more evidence for than against at this point.

    #48(30) joins the whack-a-vehicle party :(

    This is helped when light patterns for headlights can be seen... Amtrak locomotives (P42's) have a distinctive horizontal line of 2 lights in the upper center of the front of the cab. This differentiates them from more modern freight locomotives, which have 2 vertical lights. Image credit...

    EB cancelled?

    So I just had to fix this same problem with my upcoming trip. From what the agent on the phone said, taken with a grain of salt, there may have been a database glitch that connected reservations with earlier trains, which have had some or all of their trips canceled, leading to the reservation...

    Train Status trains 80, 91, 95, 125 (10/28/21)?

    It was probably not switched to the P42(s) that took over from the Electric locomotive.

    Train Status trains 80, 91, 95, 125 (10/28/21)?

    This appears to be the location of the crash. 37.95742168106903, -77.37065420942588 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Polecat+Ln+%26+Penola+Rd,+Virginia+22546/@37.9579795,-77.3700587,304m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b12d5a4c87d6c1:0x459a77df98ea549e!8m2!3d37.957512!4d-77.3708?hl=en

    It is staffed by agents from WFH (Whitefish, MT) during the summer.

    Starlight detour today or map problem?

    Looks like they just took the eastern route around Roseville Yard.

    Probably dumb question about placement of engine

    As long as the train is in a standard configuration, yes the locomotive is on the front when outbound from LAUPT.

    Probably dumb question about placement of engine

    If you are facing the locomotive, sit on the right hand side of the car. North of LA, sit on the left side of the car.

    Amtrak should have an overnight LA-Bay Area train

    So from what I can see, the sidings of marcel and walong were connected, but walong hasn’t been connected to woodford with double track yet.

    Unsold sleepers

    Up until a few years ago, they were sold onboard at a deep discount, and that was very useful.

    Observation car on 48 tonight (11/1)

    The other option I can think of for this case would be 10001 Beech Grove, the wreck rebuild that was set up as an office car, made out of an amfleet car.

    Current consist of 48/49?

    I wasn’t aware that Amtrak had any droids in service...

    Which Direction? (traveling on western trains)

    It does, though the area south of SLO is the only portion that has open pacific ocean running. Since the Santa Barbara to San Louis Obispo section is about 3 hours, and there are sections of ocean running south of Santa Barbara, there are more than 3 hours of pacific ocean views.

    Which Direction? (traveling on western trains)

    The bay area waterline running isn't the ocean, it is along some of the bays in the area.
