I like it that, finally, we have an eastern train that has two trains showing each day on the train map like some of the west coast trains have

Sorry for the confusion - I did fix the typo Also, as for their routes being different through the Carolinas, while this is true, the delays often happen while the trains are in Florida where they all three travel on the same tracks. All I was trying to point out is that 40/41 is often not the...

When looking at the OTP and delays of 40/41 south of WDC, it is good to compare it to the delays of 97/98 and 52/53 not what 90/91 used to have. I have noticed some late 40/41 trains on transitdocs but both the Meteor and Autotrain were also delayed. Some of the delays 40/41 has experienced are...

While that would help him gain some insight into what real people think and expect from Amtrak - it would not provide me with free train travel ... since I am on a fixed income, I cannot afford to travel like I would like to, now that I have the time.

They could have "Mystery Shoppers" ride the trains by providing a free ticket to such a shopper ... even paying the price of a sleeper accommodation once a month on each train would be way less expensive than hiring full-time employees added to each train. I would be more than happy to be such...

Just checked a day trip from PAK to TPA and back - it still works timewise for the Floridian and the price is still about the same as it was for the Star

I just watched the video ... and saw this sign right near the beginning: I can't walk that fast and it didn't look like anyone else was either ... just saying (although they did all speed up) 🤭

Classic ... #40 is way past "Toledo"

This is how the train is listed on transitdocs map for the train that left Miami today at 11:05 AM The train that left NY at 11:02 AM today headed for Miami The train that left Chicago at 6:40 PM

Makes you wonder if the Silver Meteor and the Floridian will also use the wash facility in Sanford since they go right past it on the way to/from Orlando

During Helene, we lost power for 3 days and Internet for two days ... for Milton, we lost power for about 3 minutes and never lost Internet. We live in between the two hurricane paths

We are OK. No damage that I know of. We only lost power for about 5 minutes and it came back on - it is very wet here

There has been some concern of people leaving EV's behind in their garage since the batteries and saltwater are not compatible

https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/startup-company-proposes-novel-way-to-speed-passenger-service/ Interesting concept - if it works and could pass the "regulations and restrictions"

I have been planning a rail pass trip for several years, but the pandemic and finances have gotten in the way. IF I ever get the chance, my "long" version of the trip would take me from Fl to NY, Chicago, with a dogleg to Lansing, to California and up to Washington and home through S. Paul...

They did update the Routes page: However, the "Silver Service" page still says:

Yes, the new Floridian shows up in the booking ... but all has no been updated. On the Routes and Destinations page They are listed alphabetically, and the Floridian has not been inserted ... yet Also, under the Silver Service The Star is still listed as one of the trains. Hopefully, they...

Just for fun I checked a trip from Jax to Mia for 3 adults using Amtrak website ... The Silver Meteor was offered with departure at 9:49 AM and arriving in Miami at 7 PM for $1845 Of course, I did not actually book it

And ... many of them need expanding rather early on because they can't handle the amount of use something that no one would ever use has gotten.

I do not have a walking stick but do sometimes use a cane. I have not had any issues taking a cane on Amtrak. I have one standard cane and one collapsible one. I can carry the folding one in my front pants pocket. Since I don't fly, I have no idea how that would go.
