Made it to the area around 4am.

The original Portal bridge was opened twice today (11/19) to prepare for the arrival. Both times it closed properly. It'll be intresting to see how it goes when the main span arrives.

Yup.

LNC- HAR bus service is over as of Thursday the 7th. Track 1 is back in service between the two as of Friday the 8th.

TS 14 was sent to NY today, it was swapped with TS 16.

All Regionals have cafe service. They get stocked in Boston, New York, and DC. The only trains on the Corridor that don’t have cafe service are the Keystones.

We currently have 2 Regional trains that start in Philly 6 days a week and 1 on Sunday. The plan is to also have Acela’s start out of Philadelphia as well once the facility is completed and open.

It's meant for both S&I (Service and Inspection) which is what is done every night, as well as a heavy maintenance site. Currently Philadelphia has a car shop that specializes in servicing the Cab Cars.

Indeed they are! But I can agree with your post as a whole. Hopefully we will see them soon in service! :)

Sorry that I’m late to this post. But this is an extremely important comment! Because this is very very true! Keep in mind folks that the new fleet is a first for not only Amtrak, but more importantly the FRA. Yes, I want to see the new stuff in service just as much as the next railfan. But...

Already repaired by Delaware Car Company in Wilmington IINM.

2150 had a cab signal failure past Baltimore and was wyed in Philly. 2152 had a broken Pantograph in NHV. But it’s been a rough day for the Boston bound Acela’s today (10/21). Turns were all messed up.

I rode 2247 last Sunday which is a 10:00 hour departure from South Station, both lunch and breakfast were offered in FC out of South Station.

They were carrying 10005 and 10002 which are non revenue cars.

Folks, I come with good news about Seat Selection. You can now select seats PRIOR to payment. I just tested it out, you will have the ability to select your seat as you get to the payment screen.

So I'm honestly not sure how this will go. I can tell you that a decent percentage of the Philadelphia crew base is qualified on them. Which makes sense as it's the home terminal for testing. I do believe that OBS employees are getting some looks at the new equipment. Mechanical crews are for...

100% not the reason. Taking Mains out of service for hours at a time in the Middle of the Day has really helped this project wrap up 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I'll add that I believe that no work was performed overnight for this project. If that's true and work was not performed overnight...

The 3 phases of testing all have to be approved by the FRA. And the FRA has to give the approval for each phase.

I found out about a week ago that things were 2 week’s ahead of schedule. However it wasn’t confirmed until this week. Currently expect eastbound trains to lose 10-15 minutes between Coatesville and Downingtown as 1 track is out of service between Park (2 miles west of Parkersburg) and Caln...

Currently Phase 2 of 3 is complete.
