And you aren't going to win ANY fans or get ANY support whatsoever continuing with statements like that. You're the only real railfanner here???? How, exactly, do you expect us to pay any attention to your position or take you seriously at all with stuff like that???? I guess it's my ignorance showing again. I flat out, plain and simple, do not get it?????

Guys, it's probably a kid-- leave him alone and he won't come back. I think he's proven that by now--

The same reason you seem to have the miraculous ability to read all of our minds!

Having just completed a 16 state/multi-thousand mile journey of the West and Mid-West we experienced

every configuration for trains on our journey,mostly with the sleepers @ the front but some @ the end

due to hookups(ie TE/SSL/EB PDX @ SPK), didnt really have any problems any way but I LOVE the sound of

the horn,it is more convient to walk to the diner and lounge when they are close but when you walk

the train its a wash!!As the Traveler said, any train ride no matter what the configuration is better

than any other means of transport!!!(well, maybe a porche down the musulanne straight!!!!LOL)

Guess its in the eye(and ears) of the beholder eh????

hello everybody i come too ask perfetionals obout this amtrak consist thing.ive been on trips to railfan the nec and all the amtrak trains have reversed consists :huh: like the silvers have the amfleets first then the dinning car then the viewliner ummmmmmmmmmmm anybody know why i dont see the other version anymore i like it better but this this remix of the consists aint gonna fly <_<

RAYRAY

Uh, RAYRAY, if you're concerned about esthetics, might you take a look at the capitalization, spelling, grammar, spacing and punctuation in your post. It's damn near impossible for me to read it. If you think every Amtrak train should be a work of art in the way the cars are arranged, try sending them a nicely written letter with impeccable spelling, grammar and punctuation and let them know your views.

I'd personally prefer to see an Amtrak consist moving at such high speed I can't tell where everyone is, but I can tell they're going to get there safely and on-time.

But you know me.

Please don't feed the troll. Thank you.

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

Heh, GML you fed him too.

We all did... trolls are always sooo--- AH!

 

[caravanman]

In my experience, I prefer the sleepers to the rear of the train. I have found that at the front, I am sometimes aware of the stink of diesel fumes in the sleeper. This may have been in a combined "crew sleeper" where its possible crew may have had a window open, but it was most unpleasant.

RayRay,

Who cares about safety?? I would hope that all Amtrak employees and railroaders care about safety!

And I hope that you would care about safety also (especially when driving...if you have a drivers license).

And you are DEAD wrong about derailments, see this list:

http://www.trainweb.org/vangab/amderail.htm

note that the list only goes up to 2007, and I saw the derailed SWC at CUS this past January. How is it you are stuck on 2001?

I'm not going to respond any further to you, but I'm thinking you should "chill out" about this! :blink:

In the interest of everyone's sanity, I would suggest this thread be closed - in honor of "rayray"!
