In Ferdinand the Bull, the characters are trying to catch a train from Madrid to Seville. When they are heavily pursued they end up hopping on a freight car in the yard instead.

Because PA centric study didn't think of hooking up with NS and NJ Transit for service from NJ Transit's Raritan Valley line, forking off at Bound Brook, to do service to Redding. No, it has to go through the state capitol, Philadelphia, first. Sorry for my confusion if you weren't, but you were do...

Ironically, this line experienced a several month shutdown in 2019. Now, the state is essentially shut down, and a non essential travel restriction in effect but the trains are still running on a normal schedule. (All other lines were reduced to a president's day schedule.) Would love to hear your t...

Why is Amtrak not filling every sleeping car room at a premium price? You want to take a trip but don’t want to be with a crowd? Amtrak sleeping car. Duh. Here's another know-it-all. Have you ever actually been in an Amtrak sleeping car? They have shared bathrooms for the most part. They have share...

The trains deadhead from Marcus Hook to Wilmington. Likewise, trains arriving Wilmington deadhead to Marcus Hook at select times. Was there a particular reason why Wilmington is denied more frequent revenue service in the reverse direction? Is this DART's move or SEPTA's or a joint effort or part o...

Rutgers has New Brunswick station.

UMass Amherst had rail service in town, but it got pulled in 2014.

Regarding the Cherry Hill station, noticed the location is poorly accessible. It is located in the back of a ShopRite (behind the loading docks of all places). And there seems to be no direct pedestrian connection to the Market Place at Garden State Park development built on the former racetrack, w...

A "rust breaker" train was shuttling between Pennsauken TC and Atlantic City Tuesday with GP40PH-2B 4216 and cab car 6016 , crossing Park Ave, Pennsauken, at 1:41. It departed Pennsauken TC southbound at 1:52 . I saw the rust breaker train again this morning heading non-stop towards Penns...

I've bought tickets recently and have seen no indications of this expiration. I suspect Literalman misinterpreted some message in the payment process, or some such. Check again next time. I believe that it's optional to select and view expiration details when purchasing the ticket. It does not pop ...

It may have a valid explanation but the machines are misleading at best. At worst, it is a hint that policy shift may be forthcoming. I tried to buy a round trip recently at my station and machine told me it had a validity period of a year. I double checked the printed schedule which indicates the p...

It seems like SEPTA won't be maximizing use of the entire fleet for this one day. Instead they are maxing out stations based on parking capacity and then shutting down and idling the equipment and facilities. While the trains will be packed from the stations that will be open, this is very ineffect...

Looks like another viable option is drive to the Airport, Park, and hop a train into center city. That looks like the only line maintaining inbound and outbound service. Option 2 is drive to Trenton or Exton and take Amtrak I also thought about taking the Airport Line, but SEPTA is only running hou...

Option 2 is drive to Trenton (...) and take Amtrak Trenton is showing as $ 62 (one way in) already, and while supplies last. Amtrak keystones are sold out. Amtrak from Wilmington and Trenton are available, but super expensive. I was going to gamble two weeks ago and buy $23 tickets for Tuesday from...
