Unfortunately, this has become no so odd

Ok, so what's a geo car? And what, if any, is the significance?

We arrived at Orlando at 5:38PM; so 4:31PM for Winter Haven doesn't sound right. Checking ASMAD, 91 departed WTH at 7:27PM.

I was on that train when it went dead in the water between Rocky Mount and Raleigh due to a "mechanical" issue. By the time it was determined that the issue couldn't be fixed and a CSX replacement engine showed up and got ready to go, we were 5 hours late. Long before we got underway, I fell...

What does FDOT (I presume this is Florida Dept of Transportation) have in mind? I'd love to see frequent service between the northern edge of the Tampa Bay megopolis to Naples. But somehow I don't think that is what FDOT has in mind. Also, what does "orders of magitude" mean? I've seen it...

A few years ago there was a big media splash about how Amtrak had gone to flexible consists. Even the Illinois Zephyr ran with a variable number of coaches. But that seems to be ancient history.

True, you can't check bags QCY - STP. But then why display incorrect baggage/no baggage information for each segment? Ok, let's call it a design flaw rather than a bug.

I booked Quincy - Chicago - Washington - Tampa - St Pete/Clearwater. VIEW/SHARE DETAILS does show the room number for the two overnight trains. However all 4 segments show "No Checked Baggage". I know for a fact that all but the QCY-CHI segment have checked baggage. Tell me that isn't a bug!

Room 15 is the family bedroom. Roomettes on either level are a lower class of room, much smaller than the family room. So I can't see you being booted from a family room to a roomette. If that were to happen to me, I would expect some kind of refund.

STP (St. Pete/Clearwater) was a staffed non-train station that was recently closed. The bus now stops at a local bus stop in Pinellas Park, FL. Of course that means no more baggage service.

Where is it.? I ride the Galesburg to Chicago route often, but have never seen it.

Too bad you missed this: Achenseebahn Dampzahnradbahn (steam cog wheel railway) in Jenbach. Climbs about 5 miles from Jenbach on the main rail line in the Inn River valley in the Tyrol to Maurach am Achensee that lies on Achensee (a high Alpine lake).

On a recent 3 segment sleeper trip, I noticed that the SCA's didn't do the usual meet and greet. In the past it wasn't necessary because I had heard it all many times. But with the many changes in the last several year, I did have questions.

Not entirely. This is what I get. Now if I zoom out, the important stuff shows up; but barely readable.

With a laptop, this is what I see.

When was the last time you saw NY Penn and La Junta Co. in the same sentence.

From Bring Your Bike on Amtrak Folding bicycles under the dimensions of 34" x 15" x 48" (860 x 380 x 1120 mm) will be allowed onboard all trains in lieu of a piece of baggage. Only certain passenger cars can accommodate folding bicycles as carry-on baggage, otherwise they must be checked...

I own a domain name myDomain.net that I use for various web apps. Along with it, I have email addresses like [email protected]. I had no idea that was a vanity address. It just made sense to use the domain name.

what is a vanity email address?

If we are including small town stations, one of my favorites is Kewanee, IL Kewanee Amshak 2010 Kewanee station 2013
