Feel free to drop me a PM at anytime with any questions. :)

Take the LSA job. People are running from Septa as fast as they can these days. I've lost count of how many Septa guys are in the Philly crew base these days let alone Amtrak.

This isn't true.

Still the 2x2 seating. Won't change if you ask me.

It has been said on various social media posts that the trainset is in Boston for Crew Training.

Don't worry about it. That whole "how full is the train" thing is a mess anyway west to Harrisburg.

You won't know until that day and usually about 10-15 minutes before departure.

PS 02 is slated to run to Boston tomorrow (March 13) leaving Philly around 9am and following 172 to Boston after NYP. Subject to change. I have no further information at this time.

I can tell you first hand that the original Acela fleet has been having all kinds of mechanical issues due to age lately. Tilt Faults galore and a bunch of other issues that pop up randomly. 2252 had issues last weekend and the issues it had were sent all the way to Boston.

There is. However remember that just because a class graduates from Wilmington it doesn't mean that relief is incoming right away. Student Engineers are exactly that for 2 years.

Yes. Good LSA's will serve based on destination. I was on 2259 on President's day and they served me dinner out of NYP.

Unfortunately I don’t have more current info. I don’t make it up to Route 128 as much as I used to these days.

I understand your point. I do have to bow out as much as I want to continue the topic.

Again, I can not comment about emergency situational training any further.

Agreed. Between Shelby and all the way to MN the track can be extremely rough. So I’m not buying the whole it’s well maintained issue. I can not go into details about emergency situation training. However, I will say that I feel perfectly comfortable with what has been given and is mandated by...

And that CNOC Alert should not have been posted. How in the world that said poster keeps posting proprietary information and keeps getting away with it is beyond me.

All the lights that can be turned off are turned off. The announcements curtail from NYP to PVD. Because of the amount of people that get off at those stops is extremely low. Between WAS-NYP the turn over rate is high enough to justify them.

Not as popular as you’d think these days. The majority of stops between NYP and PVD have 3 or 4 people on and off.

I’m under the impression that 7 will be the max. However, that can change.

It is however right next to the check in desk. I've left stuff in there for hours and didn't have an issue. I can 100% agree with this! Even has a street view. :)
