This is a very good thing for California http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/ Imagine San diego to LAX in 1 hr 18 mins for 30bucks LAX to Sacramento in 2 hrs 17 mins for 53bucks ( http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/map.htm )

S. 294: Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2007 So yeah, I don't know if anyone has been tracking this closely but progress snuck up on us a while back in Jul 22nd the bill passed the House I'm no legal expert but after reading the summery it seems to be good news for Amtrak...

My first long distance trip was coincidentally, the last northbound Coast Starlight service on Jan 23rd, Just outside of Santa Barbra, passing by the miles of uninhabited beach, we crossed over a river and a sand island was in the middle and just as we passed over it a flock of birds took off...

Today I saw a commercial for AT&T's high speed DSL service and it shows a conductor walking up to the engineer while en route and asking, "just how fast is AT&T DSL?" The engineer responds, "How fast?" and pushes the throttle all the way up, everyone is then seen being pressed into the backs of...

So I was bored one night, no internet, compiling a large file so I had limited cpu resources. When staring at me was one of those ticket holders that I had from my trip on the CoastStarlight. I looked at it for a while and really liked the design of it, too bad it was so small. So spare time...

I heard this in the news today, shall be aweome, 'cause the 15 sucks going north on a friday. Then you got oceanside transit center and your home free from there. Now, if memory serves me right, I also head on the news they said something about a high speed link from Las Vegas to Los Angeles...

On my trip on the CS I found 4 outlets, all in the Lounge car, two are on the top level, one is on the floor to the left of the stair case, and one is on that "serving" area to the right of the stair case. Downstairs, there *should* be two outlets near the ceiling. I'm not kidding on this next...

Wow, that makes me really happy that I got on the CS when I did... On the 23rd of Jan. "Ladies and Gentlemen this is the last Northbound service" Other than that, it was a beautiful ride. I do has video, if I can find it =/

Strange, my first true long distance trip and all this mess happens. Currently on the #14 and its raining and its beyond awesome. and other than no #11 to come home to, its an awesome trip. Since just being on this, I know that a lot of air travel will be replaced.

UPDATE: Since I have reservations on #11 from LAX->SJC on the 23rd and a return on the 28th, this is of concern to me. I called Amtrak and spoke to Kimberly who was very nice and helpful, she made a few calls and said that as of now, the train will run from LA and terminate in Chemult, OR. and...

Having little experience with work and such, I feel I have no right to comment on the vast majority of said topics. However, I do request that all parties involved, be reminded that Passenger Rail Travel is not a reserved niche in this economy. Airlines and Auto-Manufacturers would be more than...

Now a days everything is so believable, thus nothing becomes believable. Is it possible that it is some top secret facility? Sure Is it possible that they went over board with security for a regular facility? Sure as well. Is it possible that it was all fabricated? Sure Is it possible that...

Latest update, a fire broke out on the west side of Camp Pendleton and I-5. the free way has been shut down in both directions as it has jumped the freeway and is headed East towards Fallbrook. The mandatory evacuation has been reinstated for all of Fallbrook as the reverse 911 calls are going...

I've seen pictures of the outside of the cars, and search has not yielded much use, but never really know what goes where and what has what. Anyone know what the Coast Starlight normally carries? Thank you

So tonight I decided to register up and post my thoughts and questions here, I have been lurking for a few weeks now. About me, well, my name is "Falco" not the name given to me, but the one that I feel fits me better. I have had that strange fascination with trains since I can remember and...
