    New train (40-41 Floridian) between Miami and Chicago via Washington DC

    Why is today’s northbound #40 saying it will terminate in Toledo and the southbound #41 will end in Delray Beach?

    I was fortunate to be in one when they were still on the Ocean run.

    Most likely it’s freight traffic.

    Coast Starlight discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    I just received an email from Amtrak about a schedule change notifying me that my departure from Pittsburgh going to Chicago in November is now on #0040, the Capitol Limited. Only Amtrak would confuse the situation by misnaming their own newly named train.

    Trains from St. Paul to Chicago in 1944

    Buses would still have to rely on county and state roads as the interstate highways weren’t built yet. So service would be slower than a through car and substantially slower than the train.

    I just hope that it’s on time performance is better than the Texas Eagle.

    City of New Orleans (train) discussion

    It has nothing to do with unions. Airline employees are unionized as are many servers in restaurants. It has everything to do with Amtrak’s lack of resolve in training good employees and enforcing existing rules.

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    But once Amtrak sells that seat doe a relatively short ride they can’t sell it for the longer one. So I hate to admit it but I can understand their reasoning.

    Sleeper accommodation discussion

    I’d check the bags. The wait is minimal and sometimes you can pick them up trainside. Why schlep them on?

    Transfer options at the end of the journey

    I live in San Francisco three months a year (we had lived there for close to ten years in the 1970s and 1980s) and rely exclusively on MUNI during that time(we don’t have a car).

    Getting to New York Penn Station

    I'm from here - grew up here and accessibility exists often in name only. I just wanted to verify that I could get from 6th Ave PATH to Moynihan via Penn Sta without any stairs. Ordinarily I'd just walk the few blocks but it's supposed to be heavy rain.
