    Crescent operations and schedule performance

    How about an ATL-NOL night train with connections at NOL to Sunset and CONO? Then put the ATL-NYP section back on a reasonable early evening departure from ATL. Passengers connecting between the services would have a day to explore ATL.

    Work around for chronically late northbound Crescent at ATL

    With the frequent late departure of 20 from ATL, the modest waiting area at the station, the late night scheduled departure, free time in retirement and a general love of any train trip, my wife and I have booked the following itinerary this summer: 19 ATL-BHM 9:08a-12:45p 20 BHM-NYP...

    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    Looking great! One thought for Ar/Dp - many Amtrak timetables used a column with a combined direction arrow and Ar/Dp field along with a another column for route miles. Value added might be average speed between stations...

    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    Hope COVID does not hit your family too hard! I like a second aux file for options rather than on the command line. Perhaps it could specify general stuff like author and date, then include a set of table specific files. Each table reference could point to a current spec file and have a name...

    Crescent schedule change - first time in 50 years!

    I live in the Atlanta area. Each morning I check to see how the new 'improved' Crescent schedule is working. Short answer - a total failure! Waiting in Peachtree Station's modest waiting room overnight would be torture. I have fond memories of riding to Southern Crescent to DC for work...
