It seems to me :) that there was a FTC (failure to communicate :)) between the coach attendant and the Conductor.
Somehow, the "Conductor" -- I can't see his hat or badge in this video -- obviously didn't know that the passenger hadn't already detrained.
I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that...
Was there at the museum at the amtrak station. OMG it's a tiny museum but the docent at the control panel of the ancient steam engine , when I asked what he knew about steam propulsion, he knew more than most of us know about steamships. Small museum but so close to the station and worth visiting.
Departed MSP on Greyhound from SPUD 2023-11-17 01:10. Arrived 2023-12-09 SPUD 08:something.
Now there is no possible way to make connection from the Empire Builder MSP - CHI to any western train, even if the EB is on time. So I took the 01:10 Greyhound from SPUD to MKE. Worked great except...
The Blue Line from O'Hare to CUS has worked well for me, but I'm a (mostly) able-bodied 75-year-old.
Last trip late November MSP-SanAntoine I took a Greyhound to MKE and tranferred to the Hiawatha at MKE (where the vending machines take one's, twos, and fives)
Because I didn't wanna do the...
My first time on a Hiawatha in 9 years was last Saturday 18 Nov. First run of day MKE to CHI. Venture cars, uneventful trip, apparently 5 car consist, repeated announcements that first car not quiet car today.
Full train but pleasant trip.
The similarities to the West Coast events in the last few years are discouraging at best.
Tracks below bluffs near river or sea or sound. (or above bluffs that beetle o'er the sea).
Looks a lot like the tracks from Seattle to Everett.
Top of bluff is "developed", trees and their roots gone...
Good food in and near SLO, and decent hourly regional bus service from San Luis Obispo to the beach villages. The local buses in San Luis Obispo had "SLO transit" on their sides then.
It's been nine years since I spent three days in a cheap motel closer to Pismo Beach than Grover Beach where the...
I also wonder. I've never been to New England, alas. The clam chowder, red or white, in Seattle's cheap waterfront places has been Okay. Never had clam chowder in California though.
Hehe. Decades ago, arriving KLM first time AMS, instructed by multilingual in-person help desk to NS station several levels down from runway level, (runways only a few meters below MSL)
The emergency exit signs at the NS (Nederlandse Spoorwagen) station maybe 10 meters below the runways or 13...
I'll be interested to see the consist of this Tuesday's Empire Builder. After the previous cancellation of the EB (when it derailed in Chicago Union Station earlier this month) the consist the next day included one extra coach in the Seattle section and two extra sleeping cars, one up front and...
By "high Profile" are we talking
"Celebs -- public performers for profit"? They use private jets and have makeup artists waiting after every flight for their next "appearance"
Or people like Zelenskiy who have real importance -- maybe surprise secret private military jet.
"high Profile means...
