Weather disrupted travel between Albany and NYC on Monday. There was also a problem in the Northeast corridor, which made for lots of people waiting around at Moynihan Train Hall. Late in the afternoon, a protest spilled in from the street and occupied the middle of the main floor for about 20...

I'm within a couple of months of retirement. I've saved up a bit so that I can do more train travel once I'm done with the job, and naturally, I'd like to travel during off-peak times so I can spread out the money. I know enough to avoid the summer travel season, the Thanksgiving holidays, and...

I’ve been in Indianapolis for a conference this week, so I dropped by the nearby train station for a look. It is butt ugly. It feels like a highway overpass with walls and benches. No character whatsoever. Is there an uglier train station in the country? The older (original, I think) station is...

I'd like to hear opinions on this. I'm scheduled to fly from Albany (NY) to Chicago on Tuesday, stay overnight and take the Texas Eagle the next day. I'm flying through Washington, and it looks like I'd be flying right through the remnants of Florence on midday flights, which are prone to...
