The best of the Zephyr westbound is day 2, after you leave Denver....Really amazing country

just hit the dite ok on this pc

might be my niece, she was buying for a Cental Market (upscale HEB chain) and moved to an HEB regional position (still in Austin)

probably varies widely by both the model of locomotive, and point of impact of the tree

I'm basing my numbers on the published specs

Spirit is considered by many to be the lowest ranked mainline carrier. They are operating under bankruptcy protection and their long term survival is questionable.

If I recall correctly, 80 mph operation on 3rd rail power is possible, which would be consistent with the M-7 EMU operation.

The trains go through the tunnels to Sunnyside where they loop and come back in, they are not double ended. That's part of the traffic they want to reduce. What is the set 245 uses run as in the other direction? That might be where the extra car will be useful.

B&H Photo has a wide selection ranging from very basic to high end. good place to start research https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=smartphone%20gimbal&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ps

the additional car will be helpful as well

Today it was announced that some changes are being made temporarily to the original plan, and it involves adding a car to a number of trains and restoring the ADK/leaf and reinstating 235/238. They will reevaluate in March.

The ability to do some charging while on the road greatly increase range. It is a feature I've seen offered on NOVA and New Flyer as well. The charging systems are brand agnostic, which is critical for real world application.

Keurig pods are very expensive per serving compared to other methods, and are very prone to theft. Current pods are now recyclable, but in the Amtrak environment they wouldn't be.

Thank you for your wonderful narrative, hoping you enjoy the rest of the journey. I too enjoy the Chicago architecture scene and aside from the walking have taken an architecture focused river boat tour. My sister used to live in Santa Monica, those pictures brought back some memories.

I believe those are Yutong, I don't think they are sold in the US. BYD which is also Chinese opened a factory in the US, and has gotten some decent orders, including LA

There are 4 tubes, only 2 were heavily damaged by Sandy. I think they are doing 1 and then 2 but I might have that wrong. While the work is ongoing, one tube will be completely shut and operations will be on the other 3.

How much VL is Hialeah rather than BG?

Didn't Philly have issues with Proterra?

When you buy from a company without a long-term track record you roll the dice. Lack of charging equipment is just poor planning. If you bought 50 diesel buses and didn't have fuel pumps at the depot it would be the same thing. If they had gone Nova or New Flyer this would not be happening.

I'm pretty sure Albany was extended, that looks like the original number. There was a major project adding the fourth track and lengthening at least one of the platforms. I don't remember if they did both. The whole Lake pulls in and is joined/split with the Boston section
