Without getting too political, Gov. Jindal's speech Tuesday night seemed totally out of touch with reality:? He neither talked straight facts nor addressed the...

I agree that Jindal's speech was pretty bad, but he was using a canned speech that seems like it came straight out of what G.O.P. Senators have been saying...
Keith, I would change your email address if I could - but as the moderator/owner of the group I simply don't have that option available. You'll have to go in...
.. At the TEMPO meeting in San Antonio on Feb. 28th we got into an interesting discussion of some Sunset-related issues. Here's the basic gist: Although Amtrak...
Amtrak has already offered the use of their classroom which will seat about 40 people, and has video etc. built in. It is not used on Saturdays, and it is...
It is the usual excuse offered by Amtrak. We were told the same thing at a banquet last month here in Jacksonville, although the station problem was also...
I still can not for the life of me understand how they use the excuse of stations. Many stations in the West are nothing more than a dirt slab and they still...
Part of the problem lies in the commandment that Amtrak has to bring its stations up to FDA compliance, rather quickly, and there are more than 500 of them,...
A good example of what is NOT a station (Other than designation in the Amtrak TT), is Beaumont, Tx., which incidentally has obtained $ 750,000. in stimulus...
There has been a lot about it kicked back and forth during the funding process, reauthorization, etc. Basically, there is a requirement that all Amtrak...
.. ... Howard, Amtrak's top operational people were there and were pretty firm that they have enough equipment to run 4 days/wk but not better than that with...
... Except for the bit about McCain (which is highly plausible), this seems to corroborate what I was told in the TEMPO meeting. They just plain didn't bring...

This is what I've been hearing, too. If Amtrak eventually puts back NOL-Florida service, I guess it really doesn't matter what order they do it in - although...
As information - Hope to see everyone there. Please feel free to post on other forums and pass the word about this

Crestview has a station. It is small and basic, but about right for a town that size. There is a long platform, but I don't know how it measures up to ADA...
Station problems, mainly as they relate to the ADA act, was mentioned in passing, but equipment seemed to be the show stopper. I questioned Mr. Walls about...
I really don't know what is magic about another train, east of NO, FOUR days a week. Why not a connecting train on essentially the same schedule as the east...
Crestview and Chipley both keep their station areas up, maintenance wise, as does Lake City. The platforms there, are the original ones from L&N days for the...

I vaguely recall that due to inspection requirements, UP frequently tagged cars with shelled wheels & several other pretty common maintenance related issues at...
To my knowledge, CSX did not, and does not, tamper with Amtrak equipment for any reason short of a derailment. Now they do tamper with crews alot, by means of...
