Well, it's certainly embarrassing to run out gas in one's car, but when it's a train that runs out of fuel, that's really bad!
That's pretty nuts. Is that story in Monday's print edition? Haven't seen it yet.Well, it's certainly embarrassing to run out gas in one's car, but when it's a train that runs out of fuel, that's really bad!
They probably forgot to stockup on beansWhy not just feed everyone some baked beans! Then they will have plenty of gas! :lol:
Good thing the Surfliner wasn't a Boeing 787 Dreamliner!Well, it's certainly embarrassing to run out gas in one's car, but when it's a train that runs out of fuel, that's really bad!
It was posted at almost 1pm Monday, so I'd bet on seeing it in Tuesday's print edition.That's pretty nuts. Is that story in Monday's print edition? Haven't seen it yet.
Really? What kind of engine that locomotive runs? I thought it was turboliner, but it runs on kerosone.This isn't the first time this has happened. I seem to recall another instance about 4 or 5 years ago where a California sponsored Amtrak train ran out of gas while on the road.
No turboliners here. Diesel-electric, and likely low-sulfur fuel.Really? What kind of engine that locomotive runs?

*I* have seen that plane with mine own eyes! (I did a weekend trip to SEA a couple weeks ago for a FlyerTalk gathering called Sea-Doo, and a few of us went up to Everett and toured the Boeing factory...saw four Dreamliners in the last bay, all lined up and looking good!Good thing the Surfliner wasn't a Boeing 787 Dreamliner!Well, it's certainly embarrassing to run out gas in one's car, but when it's a train that runs out of fuel, that's really bad!
I don't know. That 787's tanks look mighty dry to me!Good thing the Surfliner wasn't a Boeing 787 Dreamliner!
It was joking. Alan was typing, "... ran out of gas...", so I asked him about gas engine.No turboliners here. Diesel-electric, and likely low-sulfur fuel.Really?

I was just thinking! (snif-snif) I'm tentatively planning on taking another cross country trip next year and wonder if I should plan on bringing a 5 gallon can of fuel with me? Maybe everybody aughta do the same... you know... just in case! I'd consider a larger can, but with luggage and all! :wacko:And I was just playing off of the title of this thread.It was joking.

Maybe Amtrak needs to start taking up a collection among passengers to fill up the tank! (Not a "fuel surcharge" {the airlines can have that } - just a "pay what you want"! Kind of like a lottery - "Do you want to get there?")I was just thinking!
