I am curently looking for a name of a movie from the late 70s/ early 80s. The movie is about two amtrak or seems to be two amtrak trains on a collision path. I only saw some parts but one scene is where the two trains are saved by a track crew moving rails to prevent the colision. If any one knows t...
Personally I am one of those buffs that wear a safety vest and I started the idea after talking with officers and officials from multiple agencies including Nassau pd, Suffolk pd, and the MTA pd.

how rare is a Diamond Jubilee without the hole punched?
I saw the same train last wed while flying patternes over westhampton airport. From what I could see the train was 4 MP-15 and about 30 cars heading east of westhampton station at 30 mph.
I spoke with one of the heads of the P.A. dept. today at the 175 ceremony about the MP-15 on the trip and she said it would be a DE or DM trip.
All I can say the ceremony at penn was ok but the ceremony at jamaica was 100 times beter. Also I got to get on TC-82 from penn to jamaica with the mta brass. What a ride!
I sent my photos in to railpace and a short story about the move hope they are published.

I don’t get why they don’t do the easy thing of lifting them once to a barge and take them to either on the float bridges and then run them up on the back of a freight train or just truck them to the garbage transfer yard and run them off the island. But if this is true someone should play taps and ...
