Mr. Wolf, my way sure sounded like a waitress at Haussner's. But then, you live in the area, and I do not.
And I understand that Haussner's is no more.

Lest we forget, Mr. Dunville, both the NP and the UP had those bars you note as well. However, I do not recall them on Eastern trains; especially the New Haven MU's I reported on earlier in the topic. Adding insult to injury, just like the Amtrak A-1's, the NH did not have Dutch Doors except on thei...
You have a point, Mr. Olesen. There have been no reports that the train was without HEP, so one of those engines must have been operative. Now so far as a PTC failure, yes apparently that is grounds to have an engine Bad Ordered. But what ever happened to a Rules Qualified pair of eyes (depending on...
Pretty good; one 40yo "Kalpub" engine making track speed with that train, #58(14), including two "dead in tows" (DIT):
Appearing today in The Times is an article describing the disruption affecting the Port Of Baltimore arising from the Key Bridge incident: Fair Use: New John Deere tractors made their way last week through the sprawling port of Brunswick, Ga., their distinctive green paint glinting in the sunshine. ...
Homage being paid to TRAINS Kalmbach Publishing Co's former address - 1027 N. 7th St Milwaukee.
From time to time, they had Photo Sections of engines numbered 1027.
Mr. Toolmaker, I doubt if there would be damage to any lading within containers situated Aft of the Bridge, which means most.
Those Forward, especially about the vessel's Prow, different story, the photo in this Journal article clearly depicts.
Seems like when I rode that route (honestly, one of the most scenic routes I've ever traveled) during '79. There were no issues. I took the Sleeper London Euston to Ft. William, then boarded a self propelled car (RDC, DMU; whatever). That was simply one ride using a Brit Rail Pass. Now it appears th...
Diverting away from Amtrak affairs, Mr. R36, but does your immediate ever remind me of what was standard practice on the New Haven some seventy years ago. Riding the #2XX, the Stamford Locals, as a kid, it was standard practice to leave the traps open for the entire twenty miles and the thirteen sta...
I have issues with the reporting of this $600M settlement by any of a number of media outlets - including The Times - depicting the "controlled burn" dictated by environmental agencies, implying to lay readers that such was a direct result of the derailment incident. The derailment itself ...
The Wall Street Journal reports that a $600M settlement has been reached. Fair Use: Norfolk Southern agreed to pay $600 million to settle lawsuits brought by individuals and businesses in connection with a toxic train derailment in Ohio early last year. The tentative settlement announced Tuesday sti...
I must wonder, Mr. NHV, if there is somewhere a CPKC liveried engine (it's now M-Day + 13mo), and would they assign it to train 121 on which you diligently report its consist.
Why The Times could not pay for a Roomette for their Environmental Reporter escapes me, but they didn't. Shame on you, Gray Lady. However, the conclusion this reporter reached is not going to draw many raves around here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/04/climate/trains-planes-carbon-footprint-pollu...
Still, better the engines cut out while "accessible" vs out on the high seas. Not sure about that one; the hull was presumably "sound", and there would have nothing about with which to collide. But to the ship itself? Likely impounded for the foreseeable future. Until a full ins...
NBC News as well as other sources, report that the containers aboard the m/v Dali are now being transloaded to barges and returned to Port of Baltimore. Presumably they will be further loaded (by ILA members) aboard the CSX and NS "shuttles", as well as of course, highway vehicles, and mo...
