It appears that 21 (3) has stopped in Fort Worth for tonight, 9 hours late. I'm guessing that passengers will be bussed FTW-SAS (eurgh) and 22 from SAS-FTW tomorrow. There is no #2 into SAS tomorrow.

I don't know of any specific bus bridge plans on the CZ or Cardinal yet, though both have non-PTC segments. If the Cardinal gets a bus bridge or is cancelled, then the LSL would of course be considered. The CZ might get a Wyoming reroute instead of the other options. I've heard that going...

It's a different experience to be able to get and read a pre-cut to dimensions, pre-folded schedule, possibly stapled together with glossy paper (if it's a corridor service). Or to be able to flip through the system timetable, look at all the trains and routes, and the advertisements too...

Not enough equipment! Freight railroads wouldn't like that either. A robust express & local train system would require many, many frequencies, wayyy more than one or two trains per day. The only way to get around the problem in most places is to reroute the train through bigger cities...

If you want to try a legacy service on the Coast Starlight, BRING BACK THE PACIFIC PARLOUR CAR!

Graph showed long distance ridership. Here he claims that total ridership in is a record high. The way he said that was slightly misleading IMO.

Chilaquiles?

Well, at least that means that Amtrak will survive in its current form for a bit longer (minus changes by Anderson)!

I almost thought you were living under a rock for your entire life.

Yep... I'm in that group too. Born too late for trains. Even post-1971, there were passenger trains on Vancouver Island, up to Whistler, in Mexico, on Newfoundland, to Gaspé, more on Nova Scotia, and of course the Desert Wind, Pioneer, Int'l Limited, Floridian, Mountaineer, Sunset East, and...

.It'll be useless for someone. Right now, that's a lot of Arkansas and southern MO, San Antonio, and eastern CA/western AZ.

I assume business travelers aren't traveling on the Canadian any time soon

Except if the train is delayed, you'll have to pick another store or have dinner at 2am.

Why not do the just for you service on the Cap and LSL? It's a hot meal, filling, and satisfactory, and less trash. Maybe arrange a lighter option too, or pull one from the current bix menus.

It apparently delayed everything a few hours.

http://m.startribune.com/msp-loses-another-airline-flying-nonstop-to-chicago/489888221/ Maybe it's REALLY time now to set up some MSP-CHI corridor service (not at the expense of the EB). Only problem is Wisconsin.

I honestly did not expect Republican senators to join in on this and swiftly put the SWC bus bridge to an end.

I wonder which line is in more immediate peril -- the California Zephyr or the Canadian. Both seem to be in a precarious situation now.

It'll be too late once they realize that it was a mistake to remove dining service.

I've seen (online) a late 763 depart as 796 in San Luis Obispo in 7 minutes. Presumably it had enough fuel, so off it went.
