So sorry to hear this. I will always remember the good times we all had with him at the gatherings !

He can’t mess them up, he’s only the contractor. Washington DOT calls the shots.

The Pacific Surfliner Grover City station is across from Pismo State Beach. Yosemite NP is served by San Joaquin Thruway Buses. Grand Canyon NP is also served by Thruway Bus from Flagstaff.

The two sleepers generate almost half of the revenue

President's day is only in "the north" ?

My government employer has layers and layers of managers. They mainly get in the way of work being done and do nothing but micromanage our attendance and break times.

Good thing it happened in Montana. In California, he would probably be out already.

More optimistic about this than the California project, which is likely to end up being some gold-plated grade separation improvements to San Joaquin service. Even more optimistic about the Florida project :-)

Canada and Australia are large peer countries. Both countries have corridors, but are down to one or two high-cost weekly long distance trains. Probably the future of Amtrak if there is bipartisan support of NEC liberals and the Tea Party to reduce costs.

Just saw four PPC sitting at 8th Street yard on my way to work in L.A. this morning. Hope they are on trains by the time I'm on 14 a week from today !

It wouldn't be a problem if there were some Metrolink departures on the busy OC Line between 4:50 and 5:45 pm. How many commuter railroads do that ? The two services should be combined for hourly base service, with additional trains during peak periods. They are already running a enough trains...

Fullerton CA is located in a suburban Downtown with a transportation center and plenty of long-term parking. Shops and restaurants are nearby. The only thing missing is a hotel !

Make that two AU Members who've been on a PV trip. Have done several. Some of the trips posted on larail.com are quite reasonable.

Yep that Catfish was good. Had some good trout back in the pre-Mica days too !

TWC reporting that Amtrak Florida service is being suspended until after the storm.

My rule of thumb is "Faster than driving, slower than flying."

When 1/2 leave LAX and SAS, the Eagle's coach and sleeper is on the rear.

Just for the record, I am tech savvy and have a lot of "devices." Still prefer the printed National Timetable for planning trips, or when traveling. It has everything I need in one place. I can see changes and updates on my phone, if necessary. The amount of money saved is probably equal to one...

It's a PITA to have to download a bunch of individual TT's to plan a trip. Impossible with the spotty cell and WiFi service on-board. I always carry a National TT in my backpack on train trips. Amtrak is not an airline with all point-to-point trips. The National TT is a marketing tool. Most...
