    Obviously I meant train 67 from Boston

    NEC engineering work affecting train 66 9/11-12

    Note: also cross-posted to railroad.net Amtrak Forum Hi, I travelled on train 67 from Boston to Baltimore Penn recently, the 21:30 departure from Boston on 9/11. When the train arrived at New Haven Union, P42DC #105 was added to the front of AEM-7 #924. It was still on this train on arrival...

    Siemens Charger Locomotives Not So Pretty Looking

    Agreed. Eurostar Class 373's are a good example, having power cars at each end of the train and one powered bogie in each adjacent coach.

    Why except 66 and 67?

    How does one get to ride in the locomotive cab?

    That must've been about 20 years ago. I doubt you'd get the same "welcome" these days.

    Visit to Denver Union Station

    Looks great, as a lot of new stations do these days (check out Liege Guillemins in Belgium for example - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A8ge-Guillemins_railway_station), but the station roof, if you can call it that, unfortunately is all style and no substance. The designers and whoever...

    seat assignment

    You want to try travelling by train in Burma/Myanmar. You physically leave your seat after every joint in the track.

    seat assignment

    This all day long, as long as you make sure you're in the right place to get off. Done it plenty of times before and have rarely, if ever, been challenged.

    ACS-64 Heads Up

    At least that gives me a chance at tracking down 950 or 952 on the Harrisburg line

    ACS-64 Heads Up

    Fair enough, but not the answer I was hoping for. I was hoping I could track them down a bit easier than that if they were being introduced on set turns, nut never mind.

    TxDOT puts out feelers to replace Amtrak running the daily Heartland F

    What about the countless pre-exisiting services which are begging for a one-ticket transfer system to be introduced? All major commuter networks which share stations with Amtrak should be included in Amtraks booking system for connections into and out of Amtrak travel.

    TxDOT puts out feelers to replace Amtrak running the daily Heartland F

    What would make perfect sense would be to combine it with the proposed Easter Flyer and run through from Ft Worth to Tulsa, with the Oklahoma to Tulsa section replacing one of the planned trips for the Eastern Flyer?: - https://www.easternflyer.com/ They could even introduce a second r/t...

    Turning of the Eagles

    So the Heartland Flyer train stays in FTW in between arrival at 12:23 and departure at 17:25?

    ACS-64 Heads Up

    Do the ACS-64 have regular trains that they run on, or is it all a bit random?

    Ten Sights No Railfan Should Miss -or- The Railfan's Bucket List

    It's not just expensive for the tourists. It's always been expensive compared to the rest of the UK. Avoid and try the rest of the UK instead, much better value.

    Well, the original is a rancid hovel these days anyway.
