Apparently ABQ is a focus. https://theintercept.com/2019/08/31/dea-amtrak-passenger-search-albuquerque/

Trying to book a one way for my wife from CHI-->GRR for 8/15. A) Amtrak's online reservation system refused to cooperate; b) BC was not an option. As soon as I clicked on Add to Cart the page went blank. Only fare choices was Saver & Flexible. Amsnag showed no BC on the Pere Marquette at all +/-...

GR really feels like the economy moved away from production to leisure and healthcare. Obviously the beer industry has led the way. Small biz everywhere. And the population demographic has skewed young. Many, many millennials are living downtown in lofts converted from empty factories &...

I'm living in Grand Rapids again after a 14 1/2 yr long hostage situation in NJ. Quite a different place than when I left in in '04. Specifically I live in Alger Heights which is in the old Southeast Side and was historically the old Dutch neighborhood. But the town itself has truly turned into...

I'm presently looking at the MDOT RR map specifically at the Grand Rapids-Detroit corridor. Firstly, what a patchwork of rights of way w/ all the local players involved. Secondly, I find it very difficult to believe a suitable arrangement on CSX trackage between GRR & DET cannot be negotiated w/...

Just saw UNC Wilmington students are ordered off campus no later than noon 9/11. The entire campus is shutting down and affected students have been told to go to UNC ASHEVILLE for housing. ASHEVILLE--opposite side of the state!! If this storm stalls at the coast or just inland then what happened...

15000 foot consists? Apparently happening now on the UP. Is this interfering w/ Amtrak? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/national/why-railroads-are-making-freight-trains-longer-and-longer/ar-AAyHIAE?li=BBnbcA1

Now that Ford has acquired the Michigan Central depot and will announce future plans on June 19, the Freep (Detroit Free Press) has a photo gallery of the building you might find interesting. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/06/12/register-detroit-train-station-party/694437002/

Looking at the Track-a-Train map right now (12:23 pm 6/12) I see 176 stuck between Lynchburg & Charlottesville as of 8:25 am on 6/11. Meanwhile, Train Status appears current.

The issue w/ rail expansion over the past 15 or so yrs is always the same. Where does the funding come from? As an ex-pat Michigander living in NJ under protest, seeing a Grand River service from Detroit to Holland would be truly a wonderful addition but my suggestion of an Up North service...

As I still believe strongly MDOT needs to initiate service up to Mackinac City from Detroit, Lansing, & Grand Rapids, what is the means to get to the Yoopers? I'm guessing rail access to the UP must come from Wisconsin. There's no rail tunnel under the Straits, right? So Sault Ste Marie is kinda...

Yep, no difference in the new link.

Been like this for me since the redesign. I'm on MacOS 10.13.2 (Public Beta) and Safari returns the exact same msg as above. I have Chrome on the same machine and Amtrak loads just fine fine. I have tried playing w/ the User Agent settings in Safari to spoof the browser but nothing. I'm...

Perfect. Thanks muchly!!!

I'm a ham radio operator and planning on taking my tri-band handheld along tomorrow on the Cardinal to CVS. My radio allows also to scan the AAR band. Typically what AAR channels should I be paying attention to?

Left NYP 1 hr 10 mins late. Equipment problem?

79/80 always seems at capacity. Based on Thirdrail's comment, I'm guessing there's not enough subsidy to add more capacity.

Could this be why service out of CHI has made departing trains late? Noticed both 30 & 370 are over an hour late. Looks like they departed on time but something seriously slowed them down.

I was at CVS waiting for 156 Sunday. 186 passengers were scheduled to embark out of CVS. Unfortunately, whatever was happening near Lynchburg was not being clearly passed on to the sizable crowd. It was not the fault of the station personnel; they were simply reading whatever was on their...
