Of spanish trains , i remeber they were abit slower than other european trains , a bit more colorful , and...

all trains between Chicago and Philadelphia carry on to New York , effectively they are Chicago - New York trains . Ive already explained why subsides are relevant to this thread . Please do not start the abuse of the old forums in this new one .

the call bells ould be rigged up to a pager type system that the attendant has with him at all times .

There is no need to apologise , Xrails . I dont believe you have gone offtopic in that running times are determined largely by the state of the row , capacity etc , which are explicilty influened by railroad profit levels , and government subsidies .

the amtrak forum was by far the busiest forum on the old site . The moderator is probably trying to move anything that could be on another forum , towards that other forum .

I was assuming that the canadian cars would bnot be alowed to run on the usa side of the border , and that they would connect with this new train . if were talking about this train struggling to survive , then i dont think a second overnite train is on the cards .
