Preface with I have the AGR World card.
Got the mailing. New AGR card will be with First National Bank of Omaha. It will be sent out soon with ability to use it on Oct 23 2022.
I haven’t seen anything official from BOA on end date of earnings but I hope it is after October 15. AU gathering is...
NYP-MET $30 on 65/67 is my usual trip (since I often finish after last NJT for the night leaves). Doing it at least 5 times a month. allows me to avoid driving into NYC during rush hour and maintain my sanity (I would take NJT in), and allows also to keep my Select Executive status.
Aliiance OH has a nice at least 3 car long platform and shelter that can fit comfortably at least 12 people. The only problem after 5 AM the only light at platform is a single bulb in the shelter (damn timer). But power outlet is working 24/7. There is restroom in NS MOW building at west end of...

I guess Portal Bridge fire on 8/4 could qualify as a mess. About hour and a half full stoppage of train traffic at tail end of rush hour definetely would.
At least 3 times during last year I was still in process of purchasing ticket as I was boarding the train. LOL. Boarding not at terminal on NEC and the app for a win. Talk about cutting it close.
