If memory serves most of the problems are electrical in nature with the current fleet, they just all hit them in the space of a month... Traction motors, wiring glitches, etc. Not impossible to fix, but a massive headache when six units need them...

D They've lost before the STB once, went to court and got it sent back to the STB for them to reexamine (only for the STB to confirm it's previou...

Like there was any doubt... All they did was throw crap to see what stuck. These guys might be entertaining if they weren't so obviously annoying.

At least the parts are all still there... They could've been scattered to the wind as opposed to being put in storage containers. Does it suck that it's going to end up static, at least for the foreseeable future? Yes, yes it does. But it's still with us, and it will at least be view-able by the pub...

I'd argue that overall it seems promising. The FY group obviously knows that they screwed up aspects of the project. But now we're seeing an admittance of where they went wrong.

Then lets assume that the long distance trains stay on... What do the Autotrain and Palmetto do or offer that allows them to cover that much of a chunk of their costs?

As I understand it the paint shop down there has been closed... Don't know if it's a temporary thing or if it'll be permanent.

> because we finally have a president interested in investing in infrastructure; Buwahahahaha! Just going to play devils advocate here, but Amtrak is a service... Can't really call it "infrastructure". That falls to the NEC and other similar corridors. As for cutting the long distance rou...

G&U Logistixs has been down on Rt. 20 for close to four years now... I could've told you that considering Al's delivers fuel and fixes the heat down there. As for the lot with the containers, I drive past it every day. They only started parking the empty containers there within the last year or ...
