    Auto Train Loose Ends

    I'm addressing only one item here. If you go to the following link you'll get a Google map that will show you the immediate area around the Lorton station and identify restaurants and the two shopping plaza locations...

    100,000 club

    It's not that I'll be anti-train, it's that the npsl won't fit in my garage! But then again, even if the npsl did fit into my garage, I wouldn't be able to afford it because the global debt by then will be eight hundred and ninty-five septillian... and that will leave me with an estimated tax...

    100,000 club

    Thanks! Me move? Why do you think I stay in Saratoga County? Anyway, I've been working on trying to get you're ban lifted, but I think I'm going through an exercise in futility! They're pretty set against any lifting of the ban... or even a temporary waiver. As for gift... I've gotten old...

    100,000 club

    Today, 11/30/09 marks exactly 8 months to the day since I joined AGR. Today I also had 55,000 points posted to my account from the sale of our home and that had my points exceed the 100,000 points and with only 3618 rail points to boot. I wonder if this is record time for reaching the 100G...

    Amtrak Customer Relations Department

    CALL! I went the email route in July, got the same reply and never heard back. That makes it two out of four times that email has failed for me! Thankfully though the calls have worked almost every time!

    How can they leave early?

    This is just a theory; with the recent time change and a newly built website, is it possible that if a train was actually running 15 minutes late that it could be calculated and displayed as being 45 minutes early? This is just a thought, but worse glitches have existed with computer systems.

    AGR Flyer in Amtrak mailing

    Al, the link Alan gave you will refer you to another site, http://www.pointsformoving.com/. That page pretty much gives you what you will need to proceed. As for my personal experience, I had a freind named Clint that worked for Prudential and wanted to use him for an agent. So When I...

    AGR Flyer in Amtrak mailing

    I would very strongly suggest that you take Alan's advise and join right away. In the beginning of this year I felt the same way you did except that I didn't think I would ever benifit from joining. Thanks to Alan I was convinced to join and did so at the end of March as well as applied and...

    Bridge vs Trestle

    Panic? I know the feeling. I live near a fairly long trestle and when I was a kid decided to try walking across it. Some questions do come to mind when you're about to cross like; how do I escape if I suddenly see a train approaching? Do I climb down the side, jump into the river, slip down...

    Is it okay to trip a conductor?

    Conductor tipping may be questionable, but how about cow tipping?

    Bridge vs Trestle

    I'm not sure my explaination would be exactly correct, but I'll try. A bridge is a structure that connects two or more points allowing access across railways, rivers, streams, ravenes, etc., whereas a trestle is a framework structure that some long bridges are built upon. That framework...

    On-Board Chiefs Returning

    With corn like that, it's a good thing they have a COB to store it on! Yes, I'm sorry too for having to do it! :lol:
