GPS can be very accurite in a line. Its curves and accels that are it's weekness delta is the crux.. Mine show 79 MPh on many parts of the CZ and SWC in the past. thats the FRA brick limit in most places of the LD system. sans a few places .

Ive all was wondered why ( money aside ) there are not a nice layer of PV ( the cells not the varnish) on the tops of pax cars.. I figured out the lights and most of the 120V Pax outlets could run nice on some PV on the roof . a superliner could gather at 23% eff 17.5 KW . ........ thats...

keep in mind that ARROW looks like 80s PC ..and they just started to do paperless tix a few years back with the iPhones I am amazed the WIFI onboard is not done with a ham radio set with some dude on a morse key pounding the dits and dahs: rolls eyes: ( I am a HAM ) ..... The issue is money...

HA! now That is one heck of a rail pot-hole ... I can see the color change on the melted area. man that had some heat to it !

that rule is a joke. If you want to get in to semantics . they need to define what a move is vs a longggggggggggg vacation ! typical suit and ties at there finest . :help: I am retired college student ;) and have used the train to move a entire dorm. If you want to just ship it ...

forget the fancy water . I would love to have a OBS on EVERY city bus. let the driver drive and some one else deal with bike loading and fare and route info and * the knowledge * of the city they are in !

If you are so paranoid to get wacked by a train after the eng tells you yo go ahead then IMO call the amtrak police . they are the ones who can make the needed internal calls to make a judgement call and its on there head IF you go splat..

FOIA there menus ( if you can?) If there is ONE law that needs to be in place is that amtrak MUST disclose all the ingredients . If a wrapped bagle from the cascades can manage it then why not the aramark diner car stuff. Its not like it;s a trade secret like coke ect

gave a call to EUG .. looks like they did read the updated guide. good!

Looks like some one ( conductor ) needs to stop reading TSA bulletins :)

I am really excited to seee the segway thing take shape . Its been a long time coming . I just PRAY the folks in eugene and portland are RTFM( reading there fantastic manuals ) I would hate to travel to my folks in EUG and then due to some one slacking be stuck down there for longer then...

very insightful .. I am glad to see some changes in it . Lets see if it's used :) I noticed the part about the colors of the seat checks Green appears to be for folks whom need assistance . .

ON the cascades its VERY light loaded . . Ill often take a table seat to use my laptop on . there small lounge is not as large as most of the other rolling stock in the amtrak system... If some one wants to join in. I have no problem. MODS move the stuff below if you think it needs a new...

My worrys is NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I swear I better not Hear the pooch. a condutctor can ask a pax to shut up and quite down...... I doubt Mr pooch understands Mr conductor is in charge . humans are at the very least able to understand the idea of night time and for the most part respect it .

that kensington lock sounds likea good idea ! I might look in to one for this .

Here is My take on the outlets . the bar stools are NOT comfy. this prevents one to really abuse it . the outets are not just ac 120 but USB . Why must every person have there own 120V to 5V USB cube. just pop in a 20 A 5V brick under the table and have protected 2A ports per user ...

The lights are allrreaddy dimmed at night ..... Iam not shure If you are aware of this..... I dont see how opening up the downstairs forces you to go there,..your seat has plennty of space to call your own :) As allwas it appears some one being lazy at there job is the where the buck...

I never understood why they blocked the lower area at night , Lets face it . If its 1 AM and the * snack bar is closed* as I say . then what harm is there at 1 AM to let people in the lower area....... Infact I would call it a fire hazard . those cars were not made to block of the main...
