Is there not aspiration for high speed and/or hourly services from NYC/Albany to Buffalo? I would think that a faster service which connects quite a few decent sized cities could have a lot more potential. Lots of major universities across the route, for instance - and NYS tourism, business to Alba...

So, piquing my curiosity, I did some searches. The only references to Lynn and a monorail I could find of substance was a Mass Senate bill introduced in 1964 (S.535) to study a monorail between Lynn and Revere, which did result in a Senate resolution to allow the MBTA to study it, but that's about ...

"Now, to my knowledge, the CT River bridge has been replaced during the Amtrak era, just as has the Thames." I am fairly certain that the Conn. River bridge has never been replaced during Amtrak ownership and remains the most original of them all. It did receive major work including a new...

Interesting. Apply that same logic at the gulf ports during times Amtrak is scheduled and I think you have a decent compromise to discuss. Again, what seems reasonable in New Jersey may not be reasonable in Mississippi. One size does not fit everyone. Per Wiki for the Portal Bridge "As of 2015...

Now, to my knowledge, the CT River bridge has been replaced during the Amtrak era, just as has the Thames. Why they were replaced as lift bridges escapes me. Even at its existing location, there was room to have built the ascents for a fixed bridge, which looking at Chart 12375 shows 81ft MHW fot t...

Yep, NJ, CT or LI. Very few in the city.

Mr. Trainguy; in Bostonese (sanitizrd by the site), "forget it". I'm from there (Greenwich), and trust me, that is where nimby was born. I can recall my Grandmother (from "back Greenwich") telling of tales how "the (Merritt) Parkway" was going to "rip lovely homes...

Interesting to see West Falmouth confirmed as a possible new station. Also interesting to see discussion of potential speed increases. That's a pretty big deal if related to PTC it seems to imply Class 5 operations. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Wow. I'm assuming this was last 90mph passen...

Any actual new developments here related to running a passenger train between New Orleans and Mobile?

Not to distract from the discussion of the philosophical underpinnings of common carrier obligations and the 5th Amendment but this is Railroad.net not Commonlaw.net.

I don't think its lead pipes... the specs call for stainless piping. I suspect the test failure was due to the soldering process or someone substituting cheap 中国 made fittings. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk suspect you are close some cheap-o American or completely correct. A possibility is t...

How a thread about Siemens Venture rolling stock and Siemens Charger locomotives turned into a conversation about GE and EMD locomotives at Grand Central Station is beyond me, but here it is. :( :( :( Does every thread have to turn into a conversation about what was 50 years ago? Thank you. Looping...

Although the MNRR cars will supposedly have contact shoes for 3rd rail. C-35 stated that additional CAT power by another substation . Would this be for the MNRR? / If so wonder if some of the tracks that LIRR uses for storage at NYP get CAT to reduce the loads on the LIRR 3rd rail ? Their hare-brai...

Triborox --- that is one that wanted to know how to cross Hudson. is it the GW bridge?. The 1929 Regional Plan had something like this crossing the Hudson on the lower level of the then-under-construction GW Bridge. The current line being advocated by the Regional Plan Association doesn't cross the...

And please, let's not talk about 5th amendment takings. Even if they'd normally have a case for that (and I personally find it doubtful), they're in the uniquely bad position of their predecessors having signed contracts that surrendered many of their rights to Amtrak in return for relief of the th...
