    Brightline Trains West!

    Is it too late for amtrak to cancel their acela 2 project with Alstom? 😂 A party car? Now that's something only a train to Las Vegas would have.

    Chicago-Detroit-Toronto service proposal with Amtrak/VIA connection in Windsor ON

    This might be slightly off topic, but is there a reason the border patrol can't do the check's on the train while it's in motion? That's what they do on the cross border (non-schengen) European trains. It would save so much time.

    Brightline Trains West!

    i thought this grant came from a bigger pool of money. It's still not surprising, considering the amount of lobbying and supporters they had.

    Brightline Trains West!

    That's huge. I guess that explains why they were teasing construction in Vegas yesterday. I'm gonna be honest, I was worried they weren't gonna get that grant.

    St. Paul, Milwaukee, Chicago (TCMC) second daily service

    Yeah. That's what I meant. I guess that's nice. But it's so short that by the time I'm like "oh I'm hungry" I'm then like "oh. We're here."

    So, does this mean that one Chicago - Milwaukee schedule will now have food service?

    Metra to convert locomotives to battery power

    According to this, it sounds like Beverly Branch is going to be converted into a quasi light rail line. This is something I've been dreaming about for years. If this is done right, it could turn one of the worst served areas of the city by transit, into one of the best.

    Metra to convert locomotives to battery power

    https://metra.com/newsroom/metra-receive-1693m-grant-zero-emission-trainsets I'm glad that locomotive conversation idea got dropped and now they are actually doing something smart. I'm guessing they are going to be Stadler Akkus.

    Every train on the schedule has a travel time of over 3.5 hours. What happened to the 2 hours, 59 minutes travel time that was promised?
