Just saw a promo on ABC that GMA next week is doing some sort of whistle stop tour. I saw plenty of Amtrak shots. Should be interesting.
Just found that page myself. Thanks for the heads up!Here is a link to more info...

Also Mahalo for the link but I noticed that the are not planning to have the train in all 50 states, think I remember they would have 4 reports from each of 7 state stops, that equals 48 reports, now which states are they going to ignore Only one guess allowed Another example of the "lower 48" :unsure:Thank you for the link -- the series certainly seems interesting. Can't wait to see which train they'll be catching to Hawaii!
How about... South Dakota and Wyoming?that equals 48 reports, now which states are they going to ignore Only one guess allowed

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CHANGING TO DIGITAL TELEVISION:
Television as we know it is about to change! Are YOU ready?
By law, full-power television stations nationwide must switch from traditional analog transmitting to digital television (DTV) on February 17, 2009.
DTV is an innovative new type of broadcasting technology that delivers movie-quality pictures and sound, more channels, and even high definition television (HDTV) to consumers with HD television sets. While the benefits of DTV are remarkable, millions of households risk losing television reception unless they take the easy steps to receive a digital signal.
If you receive over-the-air television signals through antennas on television sets that are equipped with analog tuners – and if you do not subscribe to cable, satellite or a telephone company television service provider – you will be affected by the transition.
Learn how to prepare for DTV by visiting www.DTVAnswers.com or by calling 1-888-DTV-2009.

At least they told you how to order a transcript, so that a month or two from now you can order it and find out how Hawai'i was included...I sent a question to "Good Morning America" asking When and How Hawaii was to be included in the "Whistle Stop Tour". The Answer received quoted below instructed me do do what I had already done, but nothing about answering my question "how and When are Hawaii, to be included? But maybe I am stupid and the answer is there but I cant see it. :unsure:
Fun videos! Interesting that the studio backdrop featured old EMD E or F units. P42s not telegenic enough for promo purposes, I guess.Based off the previously linked article, "Good Morning America" posted video on Thursday and Friday, including a "behind-the-scenes" video of the train and the technology behind it.http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5778232

Very stuntish- but it's morning TV what do you expect?Just watched the first installment, and not bad so far. Of course I want more train. Overall a little on the stuntish side, and I surely coulda done without lame-oh James Taylor's cover of lame-oh Glen Campbell's lame-oh "Wichita Lineman!" Nice little segment on Superliner sleepers, though.
I'll keep watching.
Actually Lou Drummeter isn't a conductor. He's a sleeping car attendant. His regular route is the Capitol Limited, and he's one of the two best attendants I've ever had (paralleled only by Dan on the Portland sleeper on the Empire Builder), but he's often called on to serve as a special attendant, primarily for official functions on the Beech Grove car, but he's obviously been assigned the GMA deal. What you see on TV is pretty much who Lou is. A heck of a good guy.And that conductor- anybody know him? They must have paid him a mint to blow that wooden whistle and yell 'all aboard' polite like-
The line from Albany to Boston can accommodate Superliners. Back a few years ago, during a station re-dedication at the KIN station, we had Superliners arrive for show. I assume they came via BOS. But now with the line powered up to BOS, that can no longer happen!Not to mention they're going across some line that- last time I checked- wasn't sanctioned for the superliners... Are they going out of their way to avoid tunnels?
