Now I'm pretty sure we know some things about busy days such as the day before Thanksgiving, Sunday after Thanksgiving, or locations such as Princeton Junction, but I've had more questions regarding this topic's name. Are there any other days that are very busy during the year besides the days...

Even though I am a huge railfan I've always wondred what causes "rolling blackouts" on some Amtrak trains that use electric locos. What I mean is when were cruising along and then suddenly all the power is lost the fans stop, the DC Outlets lose power, and the lights flicker or turn off. Is this...

I know there have been several of these topics before but does anybody know for sure when the last AEM-7 will run? Anyone have any predictions?

Is there really a diffrence between the Café and the Lounge Car? Are they both the same thing but with a different name?
