As if there was any other way to get from NY to Boston, other than First Class on an Acela. :lol: Actually Superliner Diner and his son joined me this time in FC. He had two upgrade coupons from the Amtrak Guest Rewards program, so he was able to go from Business Class to FC for free.battalion51 said:Hey that still ain't nothing to sneeze at. What type of service did you take this time Alan? :lol:
It's already been done.Tristan said:You know I find it great how we can track trains like this...ain't technology grand? Now all we need is a dispatcher-style schematic with every train on the NEC shown as it progresses along the line Maybe Anthony will make us a TrakTrack when he's done with MileTrak 2
Oops, I was so busy yesterday that I completely forgot to track your train.Steve4031 said:I'm back!!
There was one a few years ago called TrainBrain that featured the San Diegans... some Java app. I think VRE bought that from the guy who made it, and adapted it to their commuter operations.

VRE has a webpage that shows where their trains are, along with the Amtrak trains that cross honor VRE tickets.

Quite right, that's a major security hole.Anthony said:http://www.vre.org/trainbrain/
LOL, someone needs to put an index page there to stop snoopers.
Well Tri-rail has no reason to add the Amtrak trains to their graphic. Amtrak does not honor Tri-Rail tickets, in part because Amtrak does not operate the Tri-Rail commuter service.battalion51 said:The tracker though is pretty cool. It'd be nice if Tri-Rail could update theirs to include Amtrak as well, not to mention a more realistic picture for the average Joe. The one thing I do like about Tri-Rai's though is that it includes the Cab Car number to help keep track of trainsets.
I'd like to see an NJT feature, as well as Amtrak. Its a good way to see how late your train is.battalion51 said:The tracker though is pretty cool.
