I see that the Northeast Corridor runs have a Twitter feed to update people on train status, service disruptions, etc.
I think this is an EXCELLENT idea (I use twitter for some things, and it's a good way to get quick info). Does anyone know if the other regional runs have this planned? I mean, even if they have a couple hundred followers it would seem to be worth it.
Also: the Amtrak webpage doesn't seem to post weather disruptions any more? I go to the "Service Alerts" section and all they have is info on stuff like trackwork...no cancellations due to bad weather and such. It would be nice if there was someone who could be on top of that and post.
