    US Railroads in the Lead on Climate Change Denial

    Fair enough. The error margins are fairly wide, but these are people whose past predictions have been high, and even then every claim that their predictions have been accurate is dependent on the accuracy of temperature data which they both collect and adjust. If one examines only the raw...

    US Railroads in the Lead on Climate Change Denial

    FWIW, here’s one “fact” about what the IPCC predicts: If we do nothing to change, sea level will increase by 2.8 feet by 2100. If we eliminate all fossil fuel burning by 2030, sea level will rise 1.6 feet by 2100. Here’s another “fact” about what countries have promised to do: India and...

    Brightline Trains Florida discussion

    I live in a red state and I vote Republican. I'm open to discussing issues with people who disagree with me and recognizing the value of the principles they espouse. It's a fine line between disagreeing and being disagreeable, but I suggest that painting people who live in red states...

    Sunset Limited Pre Amtrak With Automat Lunch Counter

    I'm living in Italy presently and ride the FrecciaRossa and Italo every chance I get. They have vending machines on these high speed trains and the Freccias running during mealtimes also have a small dining car.

    CZ late out of Emeryville August 4

    It ended up leaving Emeryville almost seven hours late. If it made up time we are okay, but no Zephyr in the past month has been early into Chicago.

    CZ late out of Emeryville August 4

    They say there's a problem with the dining car they are working on in Emeryville. And now the app says it arrived in the station at 2:45 pm. Departure is still not reported. This could be an interesting trip. :unsure:

    CZ late out of Emeryville August 4

    I'm riding this train from Grand Junction to Chicago, connecting with the LSL to Buffalo. It still hasn't left Emeryville and is projected 6 hours 20 minutes late. The connection in Chicago allows 6 hours 40 minutes. If I miss the connection, is there a bustitution that kicks in to help us...

    Points for rail/bus trip

    Or I think Greyhound will get you from Denver to Raton even cheaper, though the connection is a bit tight, 10:15 am to 10:56 am.
