They had minimal damage themselves, but pretty rough damage around them.

I have a nice in Morgan City. Trying now to contact her.😟

I was in StL station a few years back. They have fixed it really nice. I wish trains were still there.

Because it seems that the Eagle has become a second class train, like the CONO, or worse. Truly sad situation for my home train, which serves many folks.😢

What/where is this bidding process?

After spending 6 days last November in ICU with the stupid Covid, and now having a complication from it that necessitates the use of an inhaler, I will wear a mask in crowded areas with folks I do not know. I do not want to go through that again, as I may nor be as blessed next time, nor would I...

Just a couple of anecdotes. My beautiful wife, known here as Whiterabbit, recently flew from DFW to Phoenix and back. Her flight out was delayed due to mechanical problems for an hour.

Personally, I like Corelle over porcelin (sp?). Lighter, easier to clean, lower cost. Same with stainless steel utensils over silver. We have a set of Amtrak Corelle plates and saucers. Thanks for the trip report and pics!

So, it has come to this.😥 We are ecstatic that regular dining has returned to 5 routes out of the entire system. Just ecstatic! While the rest of the system, including many overnight routes, including two night routes are still being fed gruel at best. One, so far, has even been stripped of the...

I have some of that Corelle, too.

Sure, if that is the way you want to understand it.😉

I disagree. The original subject was a customer thought he had a bad experience. The cost was just an additional comment My guess is that the OP thought his experience was bad at any cost. This does not mean that I agree with the OP about his experience , but certainly agree with his being...
