There are some and EVERYDAYMATTERS is one who I have met and she doesn't live that far from you.I was wondering if I am the only woman who posts kind of regularly on this site. Is there any other women or am I alone here?
I have met Alice, too, and she is one great Amtrak fan!!Don't forget BlueJeanGirl and Alice.
I'm not 100% sure either, though I suspect the answer is four.how many axels are on a P40.
I thought it was 3¼!I'm not 100% sure either, though I suspect the answer is four.how many axels are on a P40.
Well, I do not know much mechanical stuff either. My mechanical ability is largely limited to flipping a light switch. For that matter, my cooking ablility is limited to little more than pouring a glass of water.A lot of women lurk, but don't post very often. Most of us are passengers who don't know the mechanics of a P42 or how many axels are on a P40. However, we have enough rail travel questions and comments to keep things rolling. Literally.
There's Squeekz, JackieTakesTheTrain, HuskerMom, and another one I email back and forth to regularly. I can't remember her forum name and I don't think she wants her real name revealed. There are others, but these are the ones who come to mind.

Along with the others which have been listed, there are two or three women who are current or former Amtrak employees who post here on and off. One is WindyCityLSA who used to be an Lead Service Attendant (LSA) I believe out of CHI. Another is RidesOften who is an attendant on the Florida trains who is still employed at Amtrak. I haven't heard anything out of these two in a while with WindyCity being the latest one I have seen postings from. There was another guest poster who was posting a little here for a little while when I first started posting here myself shortly after starting at Amtrak, but I haven't seen anything of here since then. I kinda think it may have been RidesOften posting be she registered, though.I was wondering if I am the only woman who posts kind of regularly on this site.

Hey Kim! I hope we'll be able to meet up in February. Keep me posted!HAHA Betty!Yes, I'm here just about every singe day. However I dont really know the answers to anyone's questions, either.
Hi Alice! I'll be in Boston too and it will be nice meeting you.I read a lot more than I post. I also went to the AU gathering in LA last October and had a blast, and I'm going to Boston next October. -Alice
I've met both, 'conducted' by the former in many recent trips of various lengths, and the latter at the 2008 Gathering. Both great Ladies.I have met Alice, too, and she is one great Amtrak fan!!Don't forget BlueJeanGirl and Alice.
It's not a secret or anything that BlueJeanGirl is also a current Amtrak employee, a Conductor on the Pacific Surfliner here in Southern CA. She's fairly active on the fora even recently, and always has helpfully accurate and friendly answers to even our dumber questions.Along with the others which have been listed, there are two or three women who are current or former Amtrak employees who post here on and off.

OBS gone freight...
they only use 3 1/4 on the cardinal, the other trains get 4 axles plus the 3/4 left over from the cardinal. they don't need em all because it only runs 3 days a week.I thought it was 3¼!I'm not 100% sure either, though I suspect the answer is four.how many axels are on a P40.
sweet tea as well.Add BGJ (BlueGirlJean) to the women's list.
But I thought they had enough P42s that even the Cardinal uses something newer than a P40.they only use 3 1/4 on the cardinal, the other trains get 4 axles plus the 3/4 left over from the cardinal. they don't need em all because it only runs 3 days a week.I thought it was 3¼!I'm not 100% sure either, though I suspect the answer is four.how many axels are on a P40.

Sounds like a great trip, and I'm sure you'll have fun. If and when questions arise, you know where to look for answers.And there's me too!
I've read regularly for several months, finally joined a couple of weeks ago, and am looking forward to my first-in-MANY-years train trip in six weeks, with my husband, from Chicago to San Diego to Seattle and back to Chicago.
Can't wait!
