Nice video outlining rail service in North Carolina and why it is a bit unique ... and its connection with Amtrak

Got an email about the latest Rail Pass offer. When I went to the page it shows: Under the questions section it has this: My question is - with the new offer, when do you have to start travel ... by Jan 17 or do you have till May 16 to start the travel? or do you have to complete the travel...

https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/startup-company-proposes-novel-way-to-speed-passenger-service/ Interesting concept - if it works and could pass the "regulations and restrictions"

Traveling coach from NYP to ALB ... is there a real difference between these two trains. Would one be better than the other? Please keep in mind, this is only a 2:30+ trip and will be traveling coach, connecting from the Silver Meteor so any trains that leave before noon would not work

Later this year I hope to take an extended train trip. On my return I will be heading from Pittsburgh back to Florida. The return to Florida will be on one of the Silvers. There are two Amtrak options to get from PGH to connect with the Silvers. One is the Capitol Limited to WAS - the other is...

On tonight's episode of "On Patrol Live" they went to an accident in Toledo where a BNSF train hit a car. They were still investigating, but it appears the driver of the car was trying to cross the tracks at a dead-end road that does not even have a crossing. The driver said, "everyone does it"...

Although there has been some late trains and service disruptions, this map look far better than in the past

I was reading the thread about having twice a day service for Amtrak routes. It was mentioned that, having trains leave on a 12 hour offset would be a good idea. With that in mind I checked to see just when the Silvers left Miami and NYP to see if there was a "bad" time a train would have to...

This video is rather unique. Although Downie is excited, he is not as over-the-top in this one When you watch it - you will see why Enjoy

When taking the EB from Chicago to Spokane you are given two options - 7 EB or 27 EB. Seems Spokane is where they split. So, if Spokane is your destination and you are riding Coach - would one be any better than the other? Please try to refrain from explaining the benefits of one sleeper area...

Just got an email for this Auto

This is a "DownieLive" trip/series - he just posted the first installment. Seems like a fun video

Not the point of the video - but notice the cross-arms

The Roaming Railfan who has kept up-to-date with a number of very good Brightline videos has posted one of the CZ - much of the footage is from his drone with some added footage of a rail yard
