Sorry, I got the info second hand. Someone familiar with the El Centro area commented that he saw 9 freights and only 1 was moving. Over 600 cars on the remaining 8. The situation was not usual.

There are several alternate routes that could replace the Chief. (1) The BNSF transon via Amarillo (2) Resume the Desert Wind via Las Vegas (3) Make the extended Texas Eagle a daily train via El Paso.

It's a heck of a commute from here in Colorado so we're going to have to put an end to that. But I agree, the last few miles t...
Aside from that two cars every thirty days has now become one every forty five, there should be nine cars on the property (including 8400) - enough for both the Meteor and The Crescent plus a spare. Four more and Mr. Moore could see 'em again on the Lake Shore. In time for a Christmas present from ...
Estimates of Selkirk-Buffalo train traffic following a host of abolishments and consolidations are about 35 daily freight trains, dominated by intermodals (~15 intermodal , 1 produce (2 days/week), 6 autorack, 8 manifest, and a handful of grain/ethanol unit trains). So if the only traffic on this l...
The one time I was at the Pontiac, IL station was a weekend before the arrival of the southbound Texas Eagle. Approximately 30 minutes before the train arrived, cars began to arrive in the parking lot. No one was in the waiting room. A public bathroom was in the park across the street. The Chicago-S...
I've moved west along the BNSF and thought I'd share a picture from my new local Amtrak station.
Steve Roth's building was responsible for the recent sewage shower. I won't say that the Dolans and/or Roths can't be bought out of their air rights, because both are businessmen when there's money on the table; but if they are, you can be sure that they will get the better side of the bargain. It w...
Trump's Manhattan developer friends label Penn Station's improvement their number one priority. Roth’s Vornado Realty Trust is the largest property owner surrounding the crumbling rail hub. Its One and Two Penn Plaza towers sit atop the facility, which is owned by Amtrak and used by New Jersey Trans...
