I read a report that the Police arrested the man.

Thanks for the information. It is disappointing that 15 months into a new Administration that there are so many unfilled appointments. I realize that this is SOP for the Senate regardless of the Administration. SOP needs to change! When I watch C-Span 2, I see how much time is wasted in the...

A very well written e-mail! Please let us know if you get a response from any or all of the three legislators. What are the procedural delays in appointing new members to the Board of Directors? Do they require Senate confirmation?

Like you, I have heard announcements by Conductors and never had to deal with a waiting list. I don't agree with a Conductor making a list. First come, first served and the money that I paid for that seat in the SSL is as good as others. Be patient, seat waiters: Mother Nature will...

Then, why not put some effort to improve its performance?

That's a good idea regarding the bag dorms. Those could be used for the trains that currently have no Baggage Car.

Me neither! From what I saw, how could there not be structural damage that would compromise the integrity of the bridge?

Another example of "change for the sake of change"? Somebody doing something to justify his employment?

Your dinner looks delicious! Do all of the Rathauses in the cities have restaurants in the building? I recall dining in such a restaurant when I visited Hamburg. What an adventure you have had! Thank you for well written posts and the very good photos.

Flew on one those from Dayton to Pittsburgh on US Air. The view really was excellent, but, the fuselage was so close to the ground that it provided a rather "exciting" to me view as we landed.

Well remember those hills! Did it many several years ago; could not do it now!

Many,many stops are shown on an old timetable.

I do not recall eating in a depot. I am glad that my memory was correct about the cafe/lounge car. I do recall seeing the Parlor Car Drawing Room when we were riding in the Parlor Car. It was empty during my trip and we peeked in when we were walking around the train. How did I manage to...

Thanks for this information. I just placed an order for this magazine.

You were riding this train during the same time period that I was. Usually, it was just Chicago to/from Rochester. One Summer, when we needed to be there for an extended period of time, my family took a trip of a few days from Rochester to/from Rapid City. We always traveled in Coach...

Good for you! It's been many years since I have seen a gentleman so attired in a dining car. Thank you for your report.

It is a car that has sleeper room for passengers on the upper level and for the crew. Please see the link provided in an above post for the Amtrak Car Diagrams.

I appreciate the suggestions. I particularly like this one and I think I will join.

What to do? Amtrak sent an e-mail that my points will expire in late June unless I "do something" with my account. Obviously, the best thing to do is to book another Amtrak trip, but I am not able to do so at this time. A list of options were provided. But, what to do? I'd appreciate...

The trip I cited was pre-Covid and there was no issue when I asked if I could order from the Children's Menu. I agree, the inclination of a crew may be a factor as to whether this is allowed. Maybe the amount of certain foods loaded might also be a factor.
