You will not be permitted to check them in the baggage car. Your only recourse is to either change your reservation to where you can travel from Albuqurque, NM to Flagstaff, AZ (that stop has checked luggage service) or simply carry them on the train as "carry on" luggage to go to Williams Jct...

:lol: :lol: :lol: OBS gone freight...

Based on my observations as of late, I will be very very surprised if there is any change of service due to this issue. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Paula Dockery doesn't have her hand in this situation from the start. She is very pissed about Sunrail's passing! Personally, I...

Sometimes. But being they each have their own switch (dial) in each room, they are not supposed to be unless they are absolutely overpowering the A/C in the case of a defective switch or two. To the least, the overhead heat is still to be left in the "on" position as they are required to balance...

Let us know when the date of the housewarming party is set, bro. :cool: OBS gone freight...

And to top it all off.... The train involved in this incident was the West Palm Beach School Board Safety Patrol charter carrying a load of 9yo-11yo kids who are members of their schools' "safety patrols" up to their tour of Washington DC!!! This is an annual event with anywhere between two to...

At that time you will fill out your application (or verify that info), then take a reading comprehension test, a basic math test, and the "Hogan Personality" exam. On the reading test, they want to be able to see that you can read and comprehend the safety rules, operating rules, and overall be...

I for one, would not check any of my firearms with Amtrak when I can simply ship it insured via "Fed Ex" or "UPS" to the address of where I am going. I would transport them in my carry on if that were permitted, but it is not, so shipping them would be my only option. One of the shipping...

I can't for the life of me understand this business of "Amtrak endangering 30 or 60 passengers" as you say. The last time I checked, Amtrak is in the business of transporting passengers, not in the business of "endangering their passengers!" Safety is a number one priority with the railroads...

And tonight, train #92 struck a trespasser (suicide) just North of DeLand at milepost A744. They were exactly ontime leaving DLD, but have just now been released and are on the move heading towards JAX. OBS gone freight...

Well, I happened to be around that night, so I will be happy to fill in the blanks on what trains were where. AMTK #P098- was stopped at the signal for the bridge. Passengers were unfortunately stuck on their train. The T&E crew went on the law, therefore, half of the Auto Train T&E crew were...

Not surprised at all...... nope!!! :blink: Amtrak's name was tied to this one. :cool: :lol: OBS gone freight...

True, but i kinda doubt there will be any court challenges. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it at this time. It passed because several issues with it were hashed out. One of the critical ones was the an agreement with the union, and one of the others being the liability provisions between...

George, it is a done deal!!! Mrs Dockery of course was one of the "no" votes, but she has lost her battle this time!!! After two attempts where the State Senate shot it down after the House approved it, the Senate finally voted yes to commuter rail in Central Florida this time around. Here is...

Well.... looks like the third time is a charm! "Sunrail," the commuter rail for Central Florida, has finally passed in the Florida Senate along with the needed additional funding for the existing "Tri-Rail" down in South Florida. C-mon Chuckie (Charlie Crist), hurry up and sign it! Story can...

Hmmmm, :blink: You probably should reconsider your position in regard to this statement (or at least clarify it if I have misread your posting)! From Amtrak's Photography policy....   4. Ticketed passengers on board trains may take photos or video record on a train when it does not...

I encountered many of what we railroaders call "the trip from hell." But the worse one was a trip where the train #97 "Silver Meteor" I was working arrived into MIA a day late but on time! That is 21:46 the following night making the trip a two and a half day trip from NYP instead of the usual...

No argument with you in respect to "nothing on this forum" is going to change your decision. But have a railroad detective agent pay you a visit with evidence of your presence in an unauthorized area (such as a locomotive cab), and I am sure you will take note rather quickly!!! You should...

In addition to "liability" which I am sure you are already aware.... OK.... hypothetically speaking.... you are in the locomotive cab with me on a trip. First off.... whether I allowed you in there or not, you are still trespassing in the eyes of the railroad! Did you have a cell phone in your...

From an employee perspective, the dining car is always too far away from the door that you are "supposed to working" when the train arrives at a station unannounced or sooner than you expected! Or as a passenger, when you are extremely hungry, your reservation time has been called, you're in...
