What is the likelihood that the trackwork actually ends by the 16th?

I was on it twice in the past two weeks and not only were they on time, but I also had the nicest crew I've had in quite a while! They even make the Flex taste good. Apparently, she knew how to slow cook it and is now my hero! LOL! I went on expecting the worst and was pleased that I was wrong.

I truly hope you mean Tower City and not the actual current Amtrak station for Cleveland. Lol! I'm trying! I'm trying!

I love the plush engine, more engines, and more cars! Small things that you can get in the cafe cars: magnets, keychains, etc for whichever train you're on.

15 minutes if you get a good driver. 20 minutes if it's their first day and get on the highway. Downtown is completely dead at that time so you won't have any traffic.

Unburying this thread....😆 I realized today that our RTA rail here in Cleveland has a heavy rail route and 2 light rail routes. Now I understand why the overlapping stops have stations that look confusing! Why would they do this!? Why run 2 different trains in such a small system? Oh...

22 passengers boarding a train on average in FY 21 doesn't sound terrible, but it's a city with a metropolitan area of about 2 million people. It's not great. And again, it's mostly Amish who have no choice but to take the train. The main Amish area is an hour and a half from Cleveland. They...

The price I paid for a roomette in the Eaglette next month makes me make a face every time I bring the ticket up to check if it's still running.

God, I hope so. Most of the state doesn't even realize there's a passenger train that runs in the country, let alone through the state. When there's more than myself and some Amish getting on in Cleveland I'm always shocked! Waiting for enough people to be loud enough to convince the state...

Usually when I get on the LSL or Capitol in Cleveland, I'm the only one getting on sleeper and they just ask my name. I can't remember the last time I had my ticket scanned here. I assume they know the name of the one crazy person getting on at 4AM.

I've definitely seen people get kicked off at more inconvenient places than at an actual station so I wouldn't be surprised.

I lived in Winter Park and if it's coming in this weak, you know by the time it hits Sanford, it's a just a rainstorm.

By the time a hurricane gets to Sanford, it's barely a tropical storm normally. Put an umbrella in your carry-on. You should be fine.

Oh yeah, they aren't. :(

16 cars, the news said. It could have been terrible since there are houses close to the tracks in that area. They also said that the tracks should be opened again by morning so hopefully not too much disruption.
