I know this might be a bit of a stretch, but uh.... look at page 15 on the service line PDF. There's a little USA map icon thing with some lines on it for the "Growing the Network" section. Sure it might be "artistic license" but... why is the Texas Eagle the only coherent long-distance route I...

Every time I log on I only see more bad news, and more indication that what we're seeing is nothing less than full-blown internal industrial sabotage. Sure, I agree, it doesn't make sense to run express when you're on a tri-weekly schedule and you don't even run bag cars on most routes... but it...

The website says that traditional dining is suspended "through August 31." So theoretically we have a month of traditional dining and daily service until Amtrak's presumed downward death spiral begins. Start planning your trips now!

If I can get the money and get a good price, my gf and I want to finally take our first LD cross country trip on the SWC to visit my sister's family in SAN before they move, and in case the Chief gets screwed over. But I'm having a very difficult time justifying the cost. We don't quite live...

Decreased OTP? Has the CONO always been such a reliable train? Have the midwest corridor trains always been so reliable? Hell even the Empire Builder and the Texas Eagle have been getting better (but still not good).

Didn’t they first implement “contemporary” dining in early 2018? We’re coming up on two years of that on the Capitol Limited and LSL very soon here... I’d be really interested to see what their figures for the past year look like.

Cascades “Bistro” service then, unless you’re gonna tell me that costs too much as well and only exists thanks to the state of Washington... my fear is that while the current flex dining model is cutting costs, and thus, losses, it’s driving away passengers in droves and significantly decreasing...

Why couldn’t they have adopted something more akin to Cascades food service? People seem to enjoy their fresh entree offerings and even the soups and sandwhiches. Better yet, how about this; resume traditional dining for sleeper car passengers only, and just remove lunch service? Offer...

I see no greater potential for a new train than in the KC - DEN route. What would bringing back the Colorado Eagle entail?

I absolutely 10000% second this, it makes all the sense in the world to me and has been on my mind quite a bit. Tons and tons of people here in the Midwest go to Colorado for vacation, and they usually drive. Traffic on I-70 can be absolute hell at times. Hell, for that reason I wish we could...

I was downtown yesterday at my buddy’s apartment watching the Fair St. Louis Air Show by the arch, and I noticed a train traversing the bridge heading over to the Gateway Station. It immediately caught my attention due to the presence of a Viewliner car, impossible for me to tell whether it was...
