When did the tree fall? Anyone live close by?

This sleeper situation is very confusing to this person. For a full single level sleeper, the median fares bucket seems to be 3 - 4 + times what a full coach brings in. Now if Amtrak would get all its single level sleeper in service and order more the revenue potential would seem very pro...

Interesting point. What would be the south route running time? If longer than Cascades route would put a crimp in making the Seattle turn on time?

Congress will have to legislate the termination of this Balkanization of Amtrak service. Any route that goes 2 or more states should not be subject to the 750 mile artificial limit. That IMO was an effeort by certain POLs to limit Amtrak and travel demand.

The quicker ROW work can be completed the better for passenger awareness/ Have to wonder if Amtrak did not have enough workers to work at least 2 shifts rehabbing the Keystone? Now for freights soome time has to be allowed for freight service to run any work zone at night.

What time of the day the big one happens in Portland will determine where the major injuries will happen. That includes the station.

All these signal problems . Why no problems in Europe? Is it something with wheel and rail profiles??

Reported a passenger train had a green but switch sent it into a goods train. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/drone-visuals-capture-extent-of-destruction-after-mysuru-darbhanga-derails/vi-AA1s7XFt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=1c7bb7b0ffda49ae80514a8041619fe4&ei=18...

One of wife's son who lives in downtown Orlando still no power. His gasoline generator only running intermittently due to lack of gasoline.

Any info about the Seminole Gulf RR? Didn't they just finish repairs from IAN? Of course, we have our do-nothing congress not going into session to provide necessary funds to FEMA and Small Business Administration.

One time in SEA after a mild shake remember how all the brick buildings around King Street station and the station had rods running thru the buildings with large round holders attached to the outsides of the buildings. There were holding the brick to the walls.

The cities on the North - South route certainly are not the largest. Let us hope that the stations are minimal with just a mini high for ADA.

Yes!

The traffic jams on I-4 eastbound, I-95 northbound, I-75 both north bound and east bound from Naples. I have some doubt of persons going toward FLL / MIA in case Milton tries to go more directly eastbound.

Just use Airo trains with locos on both ends with trackage rights on Brightline!.

iT IS ALL about revenue passenger miles not riders.. Auto train averages exactly the RPMs for auto train's length. Not the Star.

People are fleeing and with good reason. Hope there is going to be enough gasoline for everyone to flee. One worry may be the lack of gasoline after Milton. Much gasoline is barged into Tampa and if that facility is severely damaged then ----------- Wonder what will happen to much of CSX...

NS seems to be doing a good job keepiing the Crescent on schedule. Even the times Amtrak has delays it NS has usually made up time or as of today 19 / 05 lost 3:20 at WASH and it is still about 3:15 late at Hattiesburg thereby not loosing any more time even out of its normal slot.

You are correct. The SAL line from Bradenton to Arcadia was abandoned as well as the ACL from East Sarasota to south fork was also abandoned. Fort Meyers to Naples by SAL was abandoned with ACL still to somewhere north of Naples. Now only present intact rail is CSX from just west of Lakeland...
