Actually, Amtrak has in the past used the Inside Gateway as a detour. There's a photo of the southbound Starlight coming off the Keddie Wye many years ago on Trainorders.

UP to the Keddie Wye, then north on BNSF Gateway Sub to K Falls.
Perhaps contact the Boston and Maine Historical Society?
Right now, both trains are running at 0 MPH and are in service disruption. An NS derailment, I think.
Wait until we get maglev going between DC and Baltimore.
It wasn't a thing yet, AFAIK.
I don't think there is a real strong need to turn a sleeping car, especially when half the seats in the roomettes are always going backwards anyway. The bedrooms are different story, but I've ridden backwards on a Superliner bedroom on the Capitol Limited. It's not the end of the world, especially o...
That horn is certainly in a healthy state!
Room keys? When did they start issuing room keys for rooms on a train?

Wouldn't the CSX OCS look a whole lot better if it was pulled by a pair of FP9s painted in this B&O heritage livery? The consist would look something like this... :wink: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/10159023418524492/filePointer/10159023423745559/fodoid/1015902342...
According to another thread on here, the train will spend some days in Worcester for meetings between unknown entities.
Boston-Concord is commute distance, in that it's about the same distance as Poughkeepsie, NY to GCT. A lot of these proposed "new" corridors have actually been in the planning / talk stage for years now. Amtrak is just legitimizing them by putting them on the map. I do not have high hopes ...
Newpy: Obviously, he was not around when the cat fight was in progress between Guilford and their 112lb rail and NNEPRA/Amtrak. [He's been with Amtrak only a little over a year, IIRC.] Guilford lost that fight. As Trinnau pointed out, Mr. Flynn has a fight on his hands on the Gulf Coast. My point wa...
That's great. I think the difference, though, is that menus used to have prices listed for each item. The upcoming ones do not AFAICT, so how does one decide how much the cost would be? Again, I think pre-paying would be the way to go. That, or put back the prices for each item, and use credit / deb...
