Tractor-trailer hit by train in Windsor; driver charged State police said the truck was stuck on the tracks. Doubt there would have been charges if it got stuck there hours before the train. I'm betting the driver tried to beat the train and snagged his trailer on the tracks. Google street...

"Cool Story Bro" time... No email from Amtrak or any other communication prompted me to check my reservation, I just looked up my res to see my arrival time because my ride asked me in conversation and I couldn't remember exactly. And that's when I went down the rabbit hole. "⚠ Service...

The official announcement was made today. 36 years after Norfolk & Western and Southern Railway decided to locate their merged company in Norfolk, the company is bailing on the city they named the company after...

I keep what might be called a "non-traditional" sleep schedule. I am nocturnal by nature, and I am lucky enough to have found a job that fits right in with that, so I live and work and cook and clean from about mid-afternoon through sunrise, and then go to sleep. I've read several trip reports...

Hi all. :hi: I stumbled onto this forum last night after doing a Google search for "Where does the Norfolk Amtrak train spend the night?" I didn't find a definitive answer (I'm assuming the NS Lamberts Point yard) but I did find a lot of answers to a lot of questions I didn't know I had :D...
