I heard that Amtrak may resume dining car service on December 15th, according to their website. I am not sure whether the suspension may be extended or not.

Thanks, I think I found out what I was looking for. Most of these cities lost passenger service on April 30, 1971.

Something that I have always wondered was about Amtrak service to stations in Central Ohio. I know Amtrak stopped serving Dayton and Columbus in 1979, but what about the larger cities in the area like Springfield and Xenia. They seem large enough to have attracted Amtrak service. I saw a...

Would you recommend lower or upper level seats on the Capitol Limited? Both teenagers are around 5'6''/5'8'' in height.

I am planning to travel on the Capitol Limited and Southwest Chief. I have a couple of questions. We currently have 1 Superliner bedroom booked and 1 coach seat for 4 people. There are 2 adults, and 2 teens aged 14/16. 1. Would you recommend getting a 2nd roomette, bedroom, or upgrade to a...

We may see less delays if Joe Biden appoints a pro-Amtrak attorney general. They might bring more actions against the freight railroads in court. Norfolk Southern/CSX (I forget which one), might be first up in line to be sued.

There were a couple of places that the MTA charged double fares. In addition to the Rockaways, they charged 10 cents instead of 5 for service to the World's fair.

Ventra passes are available at all stations in a single ride and day pass in ticket format, and in 3 day pass ticket format at OHare and Midway station. Anywhere else, you will need to purchase a Ventra card to get a 3 day pass. However, if you buy a card, load $15 on it, register it, and then...

A train line in Montreal converted from 3000 VDC to 25kv 60hz in the 1990s, and now they are converting yet again to 1500 VDC.

If they wanted to connect North and South Station via a tunnel, they would have to electrify all the lines.

According to the UP express website, it can go up to 140 km/h or around 87 miles per hour

There is a train from Union Station to Pearson now. It is called the UP express. It takes about 25 min to get downtown.

You could take Metra out to Woodstock, and then take an uber or DialARide to IRM. I did that once. Also, consider the fox river trolley museum. It's located in Elgin and is accessible by Metra and Pace. Link to dial a ride...
