Thanks for the review, Bob! Disappointing to see slow orders and having to wait 10 mins for the westbound train. Were you on time into MIA?

The full wrap with dots on all windows is idiotic and not pulling me to get all the way down there to check it out.

Light rail has far too low capacity for this project.

A rail train is waiting on the siding just north of OAKWOOD interlocking; I would assume that is for the Windsor Locks-Conn River Bridge double tracking. There are three separate contracts, the others are for OAKWOOD to PARK in West Hartford and two miles in Enfield. More details here: https://train...

Then, again, please correct with real information rather than shouting that things are wrong.

Amtrak needs more contingency in place for the Hudson Line/Empire Service. One inch of rain really isn't that much.

Communication of the issue and the subsequent delays was again a problem. Amtrak isn't making repeat customers here...

Well, that was quite the monologue...

So just because certain other systems don't offer an incentive for frequent riders means that this route shouldn't? I agree that MKE-CHI trains should generally be separate services from trains originating further away. Are the current trains usually at capacity? IIRC the consists are 4-5 Horizon co...

Not remotely the same thing. The rebuilt P40s are still Tier 0 vs. Tier 4 and will still be loud and slow as hell.

Might as well set the money on fire.

Interesting. I hope turned into housing or something else useful.
