Did he actually use a Viewliner Room,I missed whether or not the Amtrak Executive Cars were in the consist of the Crescent?
It may have been a little early in the morning for many folks.Looks like some empty seats in the diner for him to ask about.
The man has barely been on the job ! Cut him some slack. Good leaders make measured decisions based up gathering facts.I've yet to see anything concrete about what he thinks are the biggest problems or how he intends to solve them. Or where he sees options for growth and improvement. Which is fine, he only just started after all, but that still doesn't explain all of the sudden confidence and premature praise being shown toward him. Did Boardman receive this same level of fawning before fully taking the reins and actually accomplishing anything? Presumably this is some sort of emotional honeymoon period that we'll hopefully snap out of at some point.
I already acknowledged that he only just started the job. See the portion I went back and highlighted above just for you. Nor am I expecting him to have done anything yet. I'm simply confused and confounded by AU's premature fawning over him. This includes your blindly defensive and dismissive post above.The man has barely been on the job ! Cut him some slack.

Perhaps it was a secret. How do you know he didn't just "appear" on the train, without fanfare or warning?So much for Moorman taking "secret" trips.
Actually, Boardman was met with caution and suspicion (though some optimism).I've yet to see anything concrete about what he thinks are the biggest problems or how he intends to solve them.

Nobody is born a cynic. I too had high hopes back when a newly elected President and Vice President expressed strong and sustained support for improved passenger rail nationwide. Then I watched our representatives, our senators, and several governors decide to do everything they could to undermine and ridicule passenger rail at nearly every turn over the next eight years. Even if our congress critters happen to like this guy there is little if any chance they're going to stick their neck out and risk defeat to a zero-compromise primary challenger on Amtrak's behalf.What's the confusion? It's called hope.
