Car in the first clip was not able to stop on snow and barely missed a major crash with Amtrak LD train. Very scary. Had similar experiences when driving on snow.

This might be interesting. A 20 tons boulder damaged track and a freight train at Bond, CO. Our train #5 was stuck and is now 7 hours delayed. Not as bad as the 13 hours delay of #6 we met yesterday though. Arrived Glenwood Springs at 9:19pm

just came back from Iowa and it is huge inconvenience to take throughway bus from major cities in Iowa. As I counted, there is literally no passengers on and off at Burlington, Mt Pleasant, etc

Interesting that Africa got true HSR before North America does.

Found two interesting Caledonian Sleeper Train travel vlog/reviews. Most modernist sleeper train I've ever seen. Interior style I think is close to Marriott Springhill suite. Receptionist welcomes you at the platform. You get your key card for your room when checking in from station. Feel...

Attached latest service update. Feel sorry for those who booked sleepers. Should be a good opportunity to push back 12 hours on schedule and make them 2 sleepers trains travel overnight.

California Zepher along the river 4/15/2021

Amtrak app is not showing any of my trip that I booked as well as coupons associated with my guest rewards membership. They can only be seen from desktop website. Trips usually shows up on the home page when app launched. Anyone experience the same on the app? I want to make sure it's not...

Just a fun experience on #30 which is 30 min late today arriving D.C. and engineer/conductor was bitching on CSX multiple times and made sure everyone remembers that the delay was due to CSX crew 216-70 being late to show up at their work... That announcement made my day

Watch this awesome Japan overnight train It was pushed to my watchlist and, It’s such a joy to even just watch it on YouTube, over and over. Love how the interior was decorated, feels like a 4 star hotel on the rail. I think it would be a success if it runs between major metropolitan area on...

Just curious given the rise of intercity travel demand in US, what are chances that traditional private Freightliner like UP, BNSF look into contemporary intercity passenger rail and get back to people hauling business? I'm sure virgin America is currently establishing a very positive example...
