Hopefully Joe Biden who has been a big supporter of Amtrak speaks up in Amtrak's defense.

For the TE I thought it was not about the towing power, but about the power needed to run a dining car.

Ok, I was watching The Pheonix Open and saw an advertisement for CBS Evening News. Third Amtrak crash in two months. The tone of the announcer wanted to make me jump through the television and strangle her.

TE does have a dining car, so would it not require more then one engine? Sorry to get off topic.

Sorry to have to say this but I highly doubt that most people in this country give Amtrak or passanger rail a second thought. I think only people like us care about Amtrak.

These few incidents in the past couple of months will not deter me from taking Amtrak in April. I will be taking the Crescent from Baltimore to NOLA and then the Sunset Limited on to Houston!

Ok, I know there is no assigned seating in coach, but I'm a very huge opponent of assigned seating. A few years back my wife and I were traveling on the NER from Philadelphia to BWI. We showed up to 30th St. Station over an hour early and there were already over 100 people waiting to go down...

From what I heard from someone, according to Amtrak's track my train the train was traveling at 32 MPH at the time of the incident.

Not good, but thanks for the info.

I'm thinking the other way. It gives fuel to why Amtrak needs funding. Where is Joe Biden when we need him!

Is that Amtrak or CSX crew?

Sorry, I'm lost. What is special about 16 cars?

Thank you Chatter! I assume you can't use apps like Netflix.

You mean under promise and over deliver. That would be the day. That would mean no late trains and 99% of them would arrive early!

So the kits you reference are the ones Amtrak sells in their store I assume. I don't think they have Amtrak on them, from what I could tell. The description make it sound like the bag was the only Amtrak specific item. I could be wrong.

I like that!

I would love to see a bar car on LD trains with a full bar and a few regional beers on tap in which the train serviced.

I was looking at the national cafe car menu and I noticed that they sell Amtrak blankets. Does anyone know what the blankets look like? Do they look like the one in the picture I have attached? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

So can anyone clairfy this for me. I saw a video online (youtube) that showed a guy reviewing busines class on Amtrak. The seats were leather and it had the 2-1 configuration. Then I saw another video where the person claimed to be on the Crescent and the busines class seats were in the 2-2...

Thank you for the information!
