    Sweet Dome Adirondack

    I've heard the APD has already put out an APB and notified Rensselaer so they can watch ALB!

    Expanded Consists during Summer?

    I was in the H Room of 2830 when the coach car was added on July 11th of this year. I'm not sure exactly why, but our attendant made a point of letting us know, shortly before we arrived at the station, that the addition would be taking place. The only thing I can figure is that he thought...

    And let's not forget just how good a job they do at it too!

    If that's the case, you must miss the old flushers that went directly to the tracks!

    Ideas for AGR Amtrak Travel Awards

    But you don't get the bigger picture. You get a perscription for travel on each visit and you can probably deduct your payments as medical expenses on your tax returns. I will though give you a new suggested perscription to ask for..... "Take 1-3 trains a day and get back to me in 90 days!"...

    Ideas for AGR Amtrak Travel Awards

    I don't know about that! Your doctor could tell you to "take one train a day and get back to me in a week!"

    Questions for !st Amtrak trip

    Kind of a moot point! Taking a trip on the train shown below would undoubtedly be your "kind of trip" too!

    Steak Lovers Beware!

    Oh I don't know about that! When I was a kid my grandfather owned a grill and he didn't use charcoal! He needed plenty of ice to keep the beer cold while it was going through the tap's lines from the kegs, but no charcoal! :P

    Gentle Request Regarding Events and Time

    Take a trip? Now that could be a solution to help those worry about their pet peeves less and enjoy themselves more! :lol: Seriously, when it comes to presenting the location codes or spelling them out, I try (or tend) to use the codes on commonly used locations and spell out the location on...

    Gentle Request Regarding Events and Time

    Sorry, but with each post having a date stamp available at the top, I view this as being a moot point!

    Amtrak engineer, railway co. sued by man who lost wife, unborn child

    Yet another grand slam!!! And IMHO it seems that what does go into the coffers is more for the benefit of politicians than it is for it's membership... at least in my union anyway! :(

    SW Chief Williams-LAX

    I haven't boarded westbound at FLG, but (???) I do wonder why you would have to board by 8:30pm to receive dinner when the diner closes at 10:33pm! It would not make sense that you couldn't get dinner (under normal circumstances) if you board at 8:57pm. Perhaps Sam could explain? :huh:

    Your head is going to get so big from your new found stardom that it will soon not fit into a roomette! Anyway, as you can see below, you have fans gathering, anxiously in wait for episode 1!

    Steak Lovers Beware!

    In reading your response, it seems to me like you're trying to answer a question I didn't even ask! However, I have a feeling that I didn't correctly understand your objective when you made the statement "Look at the word itself. According to my dictionary "steak" is not derived from a part of...

    Steak Lovers Beware!

    True, but spelling it that wouldn't have been as funny! ;) But then again, I would steak my reputation on it! :lol:

    Steak Lovers Beware!

    I'd like to see your dictionary source that states it's derived from the "cooking method"! I checked eight definition sources and found no mention of any "cooking method"! There are several kinds of steaks whereas you can have a beef steak from a few different parts of the cow and that...

    Steak Lovers Beware!

    I haven't read the mountain of posts on this topic, but according to what was stated in the OP above, the "flat iron steak" and the substituted "beef flank" are simply not the same thing. The flat iron steak is taken from the shoulder (1) of a cow (2) whereas the substituted beef flank is taken...

    Train got in early, but we waited for dinner before leaving?
