    The effect of the potential rail strike on Amtrak

    The strike discussed in this article focusses on US freight trains. If the strike occurs (after Sept 16 cooling off date) what will be the effect on Amtrak services? https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2022/09/09/rail-strike-freight-trains-unions/6571662730674/

    This is particularly worrisome for those traveling on the Lake Shore Limited. A privately owned building near the tracks is causing 'potential' safety concerns. Does anybody have any insight? https://www.amtrak.com/alert/service-west-of-albany-temporarily-suspended.html

    Issues with booking Amtrak by phone

    For whatever reason, I finally got through, set up a call back time, and I just got off the phone with a delightful and very, very helpful agent (though I don't remember her name. Well, I don't remember much of anything these days....). (At least with our phone supplier, it seems the +1...
