Thanks. Are the number of visits limited? Of course, they used to hand out the printed passes pretty liberally.

What is the status now of lounge passes for Select Plus? I did not get any via mail. I am confsued by the Amtrak app: Under Lounge Access there appears to be a QR code which I presume is a pass. For how many visits? Yet below that is a note: "You don't have any lounge passes." avalable.

More baby steps in Ohio, some money in House transportation bill for 3C+D Corridor and Detroit-Toledo-Cleveland. Still fighting some Republican typical skepticism as one refers to it at the "choo choo train," though the bill passed 74-21. But that this passed is remarkable given the...

Not good. There are a very few short term spots. The place gets chaotic near train time. However, there is a large modern parking garage across the street in the "Grant Street Transportation Center" which is basically the Greyhound Station.

Had the opportunity to ride CN's version once in the 70s. It really was a very cool train.

You mean like when he's flying as President of the United States take a 737 to set an example?

Very sharp. Definitely modern. Consider me old fashioned, I still prefer beds parallel to the window. There's nothing like laying in bed looking out the window of a moving train.

I think they have been tweaking it from time to time to "enhance" functionality. But, tweak might be generous.

Right. This has been the case for a good year or more.

The offer related to my utility is only 10,000 points. Nevertheless, I'll sign up and after a couple of months when I qualify for the points I'll shop around again. Unfortunately, this is a variable rate plan guaranteed for only three months when it could go up 30%. I typically shop every three...

If Amtrak's HR department is also understaffed and behind on its own hiring this will affect how efficient it can be. Not to mention if hiring managers are also overwhelmed with trying to fill positions under them. It is a cascading effect.

Indiana had no serious interest in making any of it succeed.

Metroliners never went to Boston. Electrification between New Haven and Boston did not occur until the late 1990s.

I think the speculation on bilevel vs. single level is fun but wasted energy. Amtrak will take the easiest route and go all single level to to lower the cost of acquisition and to simplify fleet maintenance across the country. Though the idea it could completely overhaul some Superliners for...

We all now how this works on airplanes during 1, 2 or more hour flights, the only issue being for those who want to use the restroom. But is there enough room in the aisle to do this on a train with frequent stops, constant movement and people up and down constantly? I am skeptical. Then again...

Amtrak better get its act together. Losing this would be a huge embarrassment and financial disaster which could lead to other defectors.

I am sure that after receiving this message a few folks got sudden tummy aches and quickly retained counsel.

This is a great find. I haven't dived too deeply yet but it looks like it is purely railroads. Would be interestig to see abandoned interurban lines as well.

How will this be accomplished without subsidy?

Was just wondering if anyone knows, especially our Canadian friends, the status of GO Transit's modernization and electrification plans. Know this has been discussed for many years. Probably like most North American transit and highway megaprojects, this one is likely well behind schedule. I...
