    I guess means rumors must be true? I got this from #92 conductor himself.

    Atlantic Coast Service discussion

    Heads up, got this message from a reliable Amtrak employee onboard when I was on 92 two days ago: The good news is traditional dining begins on June 26th on Trains 97/98, however the bad news is 9712/9812 sleeper cars are being eliminated from the consist. So we will see what happens on that day.

    Gotcha. Maybe a advice: Get your own cloud instance so you will have your own bandwidth just for you so you won't be able to be in the way with other users? If you ever need help, let me know so I want see your site up and never taken down again. Thanks again, brother.

    Amtrak Status Maps

    I'm curious, you use shared or a cloud instance with all these stuff? Because I use my own cloud servers and dedicated servers with my projects I've been doing lately. BTW, thanks for the great work you had done for these years, I always enjoyed use that feature.

    Future Amtrak Sleeper and ADA ideas

    On VIA, the Prestige room, normally it cost over $8500CAD so it equals nearly $7k USD so yeah, ripoff.

    Future Amtrak Sleeper and ADA ideas

    The VIA Accessible room is 2X bigger than the Viewliner II ADA room which I find it shocking. Amtrak needs to make the bedrooms and ADA rooms bigger.

    Amtrak Solar Eclipse viewing April 8 2024

    I checked hotels in general in Buffalo-Niagara are 80% sold out already

    Amtrak Solar Eclipse viewing April 8 2024

    I would suggest add Buffalo location because we will get more better views and expose. There are lot of hotels right by downtown station and it's walkable around also it's by light rail and accessible by city bus and ridesharing like Uber/Lyft.

    Silver Meteor #98 had meltdown north of Jesup, sitting middle of nowhere for 4 hours 55 minutes. Reported that passengers has no power, A/C, restrooms not working. Reports that either CSX assistance or wait for 92 that is going north and pull them into Savannah. This is not good.

For meals, they have to follow the meal schedules as followed. Private lounge, if you mean the dining car used be...

    NEC overnight and late evening service

    Which by means 65/66/67 will only run between NYP to the end points but nothing north of NYP? Now that's bad.

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I rode Carolinian many times way back in 2011 and I always ride in business class from CLT to NYP and I always was greed by attendant and it was brilliant, just like airline. I guess it's no more, is it?
