Amtrak’s data is hard to find

Amtrak’s data could help riders and employees — too bad it’s so hard to find

Didn't know this was published - thanks for posting it! Maybe Amtrak will eventually realize that open-source data can be a boon to their business.

This has been a frustration for me for a while with Amtrak. Fortunately transit docs helps out a lot, I know some Amtrak employees that use it. The only comparison is an internal Amtrak program that only identifies the Acela's and only tells the crews the trainset numbers and not the number of the train (IE trainset #5 is at New London, rather then train 2170 is at New London).
