    Viewliner II - Part 1 - Initial Production and Delivery

    Diner 8400 is on the eastbound Lakeshore Limited #48 today. Personally, I love the look of its paint scheme

    Jan 2016 NEC/East Blizzard (was How does Amtrak handle snowstorms?)

    I'm actually on 48(23) and its been a very quiet ride. I don't think we've passed more than a few freights from CLE-BUF and we're flying into Rochester now, only down a few minutes. This is all after 48 left Chicago almost a half hour late. I'm not a train expert but it certainly feels like a...

    Jan 2016 NEC/East Blizzard (was How does Amtrak handle snowstorms?)

    Today's 49(23) already departed Croton-Harmon and is moving north at 77.6mph. Looks like it will survive the journey west tonight. There have been some 1-2 hour delays from NYP and south, but nothing to terrible. It's probably a hell of a lot quicker than traveling on I-95. Some areas near...

    A topic I can contribute to, at least slightly! I'm a meteorology major in college currently. This is likely going to turn into a Historic snowstorm/blizzard, and I would have to imagine that DC is going to be almost completely shutdown. If 1" of snow the other day shut down almost the entire...

    Proposed Improvements on Toledo, Sandusky, and Elyria Amtrak stations

    The second image you posted shows a route between CHI-FTW-TOL using the Napoleon, Defiance & Western line through Defiance, Paulding, and Henry counties. Realistically is this even feasible on the line? The former owners did essentially 0 maintenance on the line for 50 years and the track just...

    Lake Shore Limited Sleeper confusion

    My friend had booked 449 from Syracuse to Cleveland for next Tuesday, and her reservation was cancelled and 49 was sold out on her. My reservation on 49 from SYR to TOL was safe, but if everyone that booked 449 had their reservation cancelled, that's a lot of lost revenue for the holidays
