[quote=RandallW [/quote] That depends entirely upon price. If its cheaper or roughly the same cost to use an overnight sleeper then as it is to take a bus/car/plane/train and pay for a hotel for one night, more people would be choosing the sleeper train since it provides an extra day at the origin o...

A question from another railfan off a Telegram group I'm in was wondering what happens to accident-involved engines. I know the first ALC-42/Charger got wrecked last year, and the P40 involved in the recent Colorado wreck looks in sad shape. Does Amtrak rebuild these? RW: You should have used "...
