Had a better look at the aforementioned service guide on the Sunset this morning. Here's a few of the desserts: Apple Pie: 340 Calories Tiramisu: 500 Calories Reese's Peanut Butter Pie: 320(!) calories New York Cheesecake: 490 Calories Key Lime Crumb Pie: 490 calories Pumpkin Cheesecake...

I could have sworn that I'd posted in here a while ago, but I guess not. Last year, I lost about 30 pounds (on top of an earlier 60) through extreme caloric-dieting. I've since gone back to eating "normally" but I'm still watching my intake to ensure I don't gain any of that weight back. That...

832 is out now, too. It came in on the Hoosier State this morning sandwiched between P42s 47 and 18. They were all still latched together at Chicago when I passed them on 365 around noon.

My heritage is Italian...I have NO issues eating it every night and would willingly do so! :) Like I said above, on my Zephyr trip, I ate it virtually every night. The only exception was on one night where there was one dish left and the person across from me wanted it as well. In that case, I...

For my spring break next week, I'm taking a trip from my home in Michigan to Los Angeles and back via New Orleans, spending an extra day in Chicago on the way out for the town hall meeting. Last year (June), I rode the California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville - my first long-distance ride...

I'm in agreeance with those who think the announcement will have something to do with the Viewliner order. That makes the most sense to me. If not the viewliners, it might be in regard to the new power they'd like to get on the NEC ("equipment" can mean locomotives too). THAT is just speculation...

I'm pretty sure they won't be renumbered, and here's why. Just before they were mothballed several years ago, Amtrak actually did software/engine upgrades to several of the P40s (in the 840-series, IIRC) that basically made them P42s. Those units still kept their original numbers. Going off that...

Just found these on the Trainorders.com passenger board. http://www.amtrak.com/pdf/PRIAA/NorthCoast...erviceStudy.pdf http://www.amtrak.com/pdf/PRIAA/Pennsylvan...viceStudies.pdf Except for the price tag of restoring the service (which I suppose should be somewhat expected), the N.C.H. looks...

Yeah...notice he also says "commuter" service. I really don't think this person knows what he's talking about, but I just wanted to check and see if there was any shred of truth to this whatsoever. Now as for "other" test runs...correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe there was a test train...

I was browsing on Facebook this morning and noticed this posting by an Ohio railfan. I haven't seen any discussion of this on any boards, nor have I seen any press release. Has anyone else heard this???

The International started in 1982 and ran with the following equipment through the years: 1982-1990: Mix of either VIA LRC Locomotives and Tempo or LRC cars, or Amtrak F40s and Amfleets. 1990-1993: Amtrak F40s and Amfleets or VIA F40s and LRC cars (the former Amtrak LRCs were used on this...

Currently, for state-funded trains, the states are required to pay 100% of the costs. That wasn't always the case. For YEARS, the federal government provided 80% of the funding while the states kicked in the other 20%. Around 2001 or 2002, the white house changed it to its present form. At that...

That, unfortunately, is the truth about this state. A friend of mine recently put it this way and I could not agree with him any more:
