CONO Carolina Detour

[Meat Puppet]

From the Amtrak facebook page:


"In FY2012, the top five stations in North Carolina were just 58,201 people short of reaching 1 million passengers. Share this if you're ready to beat that number in 2013 while experiencing the Crescent, City of New Orleans or Carolinian services!"

The Silver Service and the Palmetto go to Carolina. The CONO does not go closer than 500-1,000 miles way! :wacko:

 

[TimePeace]

Perfectly in character for facebook though...

 

[MattW]

Talk about rare mileage!

Talk about rare mileage!

My thought too. I was thinking I'd need to find a way to do this. Instead I'm disappointed and confused.

 

[Notelvis]

So if I just ride the Carolinian and/or Piedmont 59,000 times this year I could put North Carolina over the top, huh?

 

[the_traveler]

No, you have to ride the CONO thru NC also! :giggle:

 

[Amtrak Cajun]

Wow, Ive ridden the CONO twice, I must have slept through the Carolina portion Hahahahahaha.

 

[Notelvis]

Was that the kudzu part or the pine tree part?

 

[MattW]

It was probably the kudzu wrapped around pine trees part!

 

[Swadian Hardcore]

Facebook fail!

 

[AmtrakBlue]

They fixed it.

 

[chakk]

Which fixed? Facebook? or does CONO now go through Carolina?

(Thinking of a James Taylor song ...)

they enlarged Carolina. Besides North and South Carolina there is now also West Carolina.

 

[George Harris]

they enlarged Carolina. Besides North and South Carolina there is now also West Carolina.

Actually, West Carolina is now called Tennessee, so therefore, the CONO really does go through a part of Carolina.

Yep, this coming from a guy born in West Tenn.

certainly the king of the wild frontier.

Interesting that none of the colonies chose to claim the U.P. of Michigan....
