There is nothing "unreasonable" about beheaving like an average rider.


That's right, 30,000 MDBF is not good enough. That means every 7 round trips to the west coast and back, they break down. Seven years of putting up with Siemens Corridor junk is more than enough. We run trains for Americans, not foamers, or they should not get a public subsidy.


Yes it does matter where the train originates, and gave multiple reason as to why they should produce timetables - like every other passenger railroad in this continent. Should one take a train from Galesburg that originates in Quincy or Emeryville or LA , and very apt to be 6 hours late ? This falls into smug management "no need to know BS".  Amtrak is not a clockwork operation, no SNCF,  and never will be.


Lazy, arrogant management that is not trying to emulate Japan or France - Full stop.
