There is no evidence that "Big oil" (whoever that is) "wasn't too happy"- if you have any, I'd love to see it.

I take Amtrak every weekday and have been doing that for well over a decade, and I've taken a few LD trips. When I compare Amtrak to airlines, it almost always loses. Onboard food pricing/taste/quality? Airlines win. On time? Airlines win. Clean bathrooms? Airlines win. Safety? Airlines...

JD Power's 2018 survey- a gold standard- show that consumer satisfaction among airline passengers has risen 7 years in a row and is at an all-time high. Delta scores very well in that survey. http://www.jdpower.com/press-releases/jd-power-2018-north-america-airline-satisfaction-study

Bingo. Anderson was the best CEO in an industry (airlines) that was long considered the worst industry known to exist from a profitability standpoint. That industry has improved safety dramatically- it has a safety record that puts railroads to shame. It has improved customer service as...

I do agree Amtrak is amazingly disjointed. The Acela serves good food. My trip on the Capitol Limited had good food. My experiences on the Carolinian have had good food on the cafe car. But business class... it is a random draw outside of the Carolinian as to what I've gotten. And the...

I consider myself a foodie, and some of the best meals I've ever eaten have been at Disney in Florida. Some of those were at the signature restaurants at the hotels (I would put Sanaa and Artist Point up against almost anywhere), but I've had some absolutely great food in the parks (Columbia...

Wow. First, great reporter. Long time lurker as well but I ride Amtrak every single day- have for more than a decade- and have ridden some LD trains. I admire that you sound very charitable towards Amtrak, but there's very little I see as acceptable- from response times (this isn't the Empire...

1) on a crowded afternoon NE Regional train out of Phillly, ensure that the multitude of people traveling on employee passes let paying customers sit first. It's absolutely unreal how many people with visible lanyards and passes rush onto the train, grab a seat, and watch families try to find...

From the NTSB... The backhoe was on the active track. They don't yet know why. The camera has good footage up to the impact. Train was going 106 before emergency mode 5 seconds before impact. The WSJ reports the supervisor was "racing" to try to get the worker off the track. They are...

So far it's picked up 30 minutes or so, according to Track-A-Train.

Sunday, September 27 is the Papal Mass. That's not a good indicator of anything- everything into Philadelphia that day will be sold out.
