I would still recommend some discretion, https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/baggage/electronic-devices.html "Devices you can't use during your flight ...TVs ...Radio receivers and transmitters" https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-F/part-91/subpart-A/section-91.21...

You could probably bring an ADSB receiver (Stratus/Sentry/Stratux/etc) on board a commercial flight and if you had a window seat you may get it to work. Then an iPhone/ipad to connect to it, Foreflight app, and you will get a moving map with live traffic! There may be FAA rules about having a...

I have had flights in small aircraft where the tracking on FlightAware/flightradar24 didn’t start logging until the moment I asked for Visual Flight Rules Flight Following which involves telling ATC your tail number, type, and destination, so that could be a reason small aircraft or military...

I have helped a family member carry on a heavy suitcase to place onto the Superliner racks, kissed, and then got off quickly. As I was carrying the suitcase on, I was telling the OBS/Conductor that I need to get back off, and I did, quickly. I suppose if I had been trapped, I would have asked...

I had to go look at that with maps/street view and it looks like an amazing place to go explore!

I have only inspected this area once, but I didn’t realize there is no lock on the door! I wonder why they would take the lock off?

4911 is supposed to be the first sleeper behind the diner car, and the last I have heard and when I was on LSL a year and a half ago it was a Viewliner 1, so not the newer Viewliner 2 like the the 4912 was. I wonder if the new bedding statement were some better mattresses and blankets or...

Noting 332 would be the likely sleeper to be canceled suddenly as compared to 330/331 _if_ Amtrak started to cancel sleepers again. Others can correct me if I am wrong. How many months/years has it been since they last did these cancel activities?

I think now I see on street view kind of an elevated sidewalk well lit leaving the station at rail level right against the Pennsylvanian Apartment building instead of the basement exit to the parking area. Is that exit more pleasant than the parking lot way? It does go a bit further SW than...

Here are some 09-2021 photos I took of those. The concept of their use and purpose was interesting. Kind of a cross between Chitty chitty bang bang and Beverly Hillbillies look for rail use.

I have never been in an A, but those pictures don't seem to match the floor plan of the A (toilet door position mostly), did the A room get reoriented to be more similar to BCDE?

Is it normal to be pouring salt inside a rail car like that? I would think that the extra corrosion caused by the constant usage of salt will shorten the lifespan of the car's floor and lower walls even if the majority is stainless steel. A shovel, sand, or something non-corrosive would be a...

Last fall in the night wait for the Pennsylvanian to CL westbound, I walked up to Primanti Bros. Restaurant which I learned about here. I used Liberty Ave. and well it seemed spooky absolutely no one around, many dark shadows, SA certainly went up a notch. What bothers me are enclosed...

The Baltimore train museum has a WWIi era troop sleeper, WAA/PULL No. 7437. https://www.borail.org/explore-learn/exhibitions/wwii-troop-car/ This is a photo inside from last winter:

When Khrushchev visited the USA in 1959, I have read that there were no stairs to reach high enough for the TU-114 at Andrews. Picture of a TU-114 with I assume a Soviet set of stairs:

I am quite curious how you were able to get those pictures? Did Amtrak used to allow passengers to open the window in the door?

Interesting, that story had a sentence about the $25000 Amtrak ticket to get 136 miles for wheelchair bound people on a train ride in Illinois. I missed that and had to go look that up...

Ha, reminded me of the story from Montreal this past summer: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-rem-lrt-traps-passengers-1.6925814
