Today's 7 will have Ocean View along with other Private Varnishes, to Minneapolis St Paul.
Third, I got the info from the Station Manager.
See, I believe it is the the SUPER DOME (among other cars)...not the 10031 Ocean View (AKA THE GREAT DOME) that will be on 7.Could it be that the super dome in service with friends of 261 is returning home Tyler? They are very similar cars.
As far as I know it is currently holding for a special move.The fact he said "and other private cars" makes me think it might be a private car with a similar name. The Ocean View/dome car/10031 is not a private car.
Thirdrail: Do you know where to find the schedule for 10031? One person I know is riding it later this month, but I can't find any info on Amtrak's site, and my Google-fu is failing me today.
Tyler, Thirdrail7 is someone "in the know", so please accept what he says to be true.All I want to do is help. I'm done informing anyone of anything on this site, bye.
Which is one reason I avoided posting on this site for some time. (That, and taking away guest posts. HINT HINT)I think Tyler has a point. He offered information that he sincerely believed was correct. It's ok to politely correct, but to joke at somebody's expense in writing and then act like they can't take a joke if they don't like it is not good practice in a public forum.
There are some people around here that consistently supply first rate information. Thirdrail7 is one of them. Triley is another. If Thirdrail7 told me that the sun was going to rise in the West tomorrow, I'd wonder what geological and/or astronomical process had caused the earth to start rotating in the opposite direction.I think Tyler has a point. He offered information that he sincerely believed was correct. It's ok to politely correct, but to joke at somebody's expense in writing and then act like they can't take a joke if they don't like it is not good practice in a public forum.
I'm pretty sure the Ocean View will not be on 7(22).
I reach out to them when I come, but I usually go to the Glass house manager (who I will not name as I am not sure if she would want to be) for information.Unrelated:
Tyler, I'm curious how you know the station manager in Chicago. I wouldn't even know who to look for. Heck, I don't even know their name. Did you meet them on a trip? Did you reach out to them beforehand?
Don't you dare. 99% of us are grateful for the guarded, mysterious, hint-filled posts about Things That Shall Not Be Named.In the future, I will not utter a peep.
Please read the PM I sent you.Ok. Now, its my turn. First of all, active railroaders are in a terrible position. They are usually trying to correct and/or provide accurate information without violating any potential code of conduct rules and/or compromising their identities.
That being said, you'll notice a lot of people with direct knowledge have vanished over time as it becomes a tight balancing act.
As such, when I saw something wrong, I didn't make a fuss.
I didn't make a big deal.
I didn't insult.
I did what I typically attempt to do and that is nudge people in the right direction. I did this by making, what I consider a nice, gentle post:
Now, I didn't say anything like THAT CAR IS 800 MILES EAST OF CHICAGO!!! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHY ARE GIVING BAD INFORMATION?I'm pretty sure the Ocean View will not be on 7(22).
I just casually stated that it is a reasonable bet the car is not on the train (especially since active people such as Triley and AmtrakLKL can "probably" see the make up, PNR etc.).
Now, here is what I'll do. In the past, I have stated before the bane of my presence is not being able to post what is really occurring in a direct fashion. So, Tyler can whine and pout and continue to post wrong information..and people that are interested can follow a wrong lead.
In the future, I will not utter a peep.
That is unlikely to help someone that was looking for a cabbage in a place that it wasn't....just like it wouldn't help tyler when he was looking for the heritage units and asked if someone could locate them. If the information is incorrect, I will not say a word.
Enjoy yourselves and carry on.
PS: I'm just putting this here as my last tip of the cap for Ryan: Keep an eye on the Pennsylvanian. It'll take a few weeks, but it change is gonna come! h34r:
Re-read my post Tyler, its not personal, and you're in the mistaken category, not a troll or know nothing!I'm a know nothing? I was trying to provide information with what was given to me. I just want to help a forum that has helped me .
