I guess Amtrak doesn't do this anymore, but many local train related organizations still do. Our local Oregon Rail Heritage Center is hosting steam train excursions today (May 13, 2023). What's up in your neck of the woods, and thoughts on the holiday generally?

When I lived in SK in pre-VIA times, there was a daily E-W train thru Saskatoon (2 a day in busy season), a rail liner to Regina and a daily E-W thru Regina too on the CP mainline. So, what would you like to see in Western Canada within the realm of what might actually be possible? I'd say an...

Last time I rode the Canadian in coach from Saskatoon to Van in 2017 I think I bought one breakfast in the dinner and got a free diner because we were so late (10 hours IIRC). I made do with cafe car and snacks I brought for the rest of it.

New train fleet coming to Amtrak's route linking Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland | Urbanized is there any genuinely new info here, or is it rehash?

I've just returned from a month plus trip by rail: Portland to Chicago in a roomette on the Empire Builder; Chi to So bend in coach; So Bend to NYC in a roomette on the Lake Shore; NYC to DC on the NE Regional in coach; DC to Orlando in a full bedroom with my wife (she flew into NYC); ORL to DC...

v3 FINAL North Coast Hiawatha Restoration: A Solid Return For Taxpayers And Business (railpassengers.org) makes sense to put the service where the people are in Montana, but can the state support two LD trains? And does it make sense to duplicate the Builder for most of the route outside MT?

Midwest Regional Rail Plan Final Report | FRA (dot.gov) I haven't read in detail yet, but I noticed on the map on p.8 they show E-W thru Iowa rerouted thru Des Moines (as it should be) and closing the Louisville to Nashville gap so trips thru Nashville and on to Atlanta and Fla would be possible...
