Sounds very promising All aboard: Return of passenger rail headlines annual Boise Metro Chamber conference

Lego has a platform called lego ideas that let you vote on possible future products and there's a pretty cool one on there with the new Acela: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/8a84b2f4-3734-4817-94bb-79bcd9e3c828 It needs some more votes on there to advance, consider lending your support to...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/infrastructure-bipartisan-bill-senate-vote-move-forward/ Looks like Biden's Infrastructure bill has passed and it includes $66 billion in funding for Amtrak. This is quite a significant investment, in the Obama Stimulus (ARRA) in 09 Amtrak only received $1.8...

Got an email this morning that there's been an update to two Acela tickets I have booked for June in Acela F. Previously they had 60% of the seats in the car blocked, but now all seats are open. Might want to check and reassign any seats for trips you have coming up.

Has Amtrak stated how long they are going to be blocking seats for? I have a trip coming up in June on the Acela in F with my wife and wanted to snag a single seat with a table in between us, but they're still blocking one side of the table. I have myself in a single seat and my wife at the...

Got the attached emailed to me. Looks like nearly every weekday Acela is at $20, with all regionals at $29 when checking BOS-NYP. Ridership must really be rough out there.

Shouldn't be a huge surprise, since they are probably killing every single avoidable expense these days... Benefits With United Airlines Will Be Discontinued December 24, 2020 will be the last day to earn Amtrak Guest Rewards points on United Airlines itineraries. February 4, 2021 will be the...

I'm booking a trip this summer from Los Angeles to Pasco, Washington which is serviced by the Portland leg of the EB. Amtrak advertised the 1 hour connection in Portland as legal, but I'm obviously concerned about making it. Will Amtrak stick us on a bus to Pasco if the CS is late? Or will we be...

I'm going to be doing a lot of travel between Pasco, WA and Seattle in the upcoming years and unfortunately the only options are taking a long train ride via Portland or Spokane (involving an overnight change of trains) or making the long 4 hour drive. I did some reading online about the BNSF...

I'm normally a simple east coast Regional and Acela rider (typically PVD-NYP/PHL) but I found myself booking a last minute business trip to Seattle and needed to get to Portland afterwords for another meeting. Airfares yesterday where going for $500+ and many flights where sold out so I booked...

Have a coworker that was on 2154 from NYP-BOS yesterday (5/2). They where stranded for 2 hours outside of New Haven, right around Branford, CT. It was 90+ yesterday and the train was stopped on single track with no air. Apparently the passengers opened the emergency windows as the fumes from the...
