@DE_Gifford This and A2TC would be great additions to Amtrak's Michigan Services; Lansing can write up a proposal and meet with Amtrak reps to start the process
The bigger issue is building regional rail in the Detroit metro

@GeorgeFTrain @bklyngap @Amtrak @NJTRANSIT I've heard multiple stories about AX sets having a skid problem. One involved an AX going into a skid approaching Trenton after applying the brakes at the distant signal drop. ACSES popped, but brakes were already on. I think the set p***ed a stop sig at HAM w/o major consequence

@bklyngap @GeorgeFTrain Block length and approach speeds. The PRR used to calculate them down to the second for each signal to minimize delay. Amtrak often just sets a blanket 8 min for the entire interlocking. I don't actually know FAIRs specifics, it could be as low as 4-5min.

@kenvogel @Amtrak The trick is to climb on the basin, turn around and then press the handle using your butt. Wash your hands under the steady stream and then climb down.

I no longer hand to wear a mask on the Amtrak train I'm taking down for the weekend. But I will. And I'll stick with KN95s for most things in crowds, thanks. I have dodged this stupid virus for a couple years, I'll keep at it.

@kevin_degood 1/ In practice, RR’s have treated p***enger rail as a hostile inconvenience. Often they put psgr. trains on a siding for hours to allow their freights to run first. Amtrak, despite regulations seemingly on their side, have had very little success mitigating the problem.

7/ For years, Amtrak has been negotiating with CSX and NS to try reach an agreement about what capital upgrades are necessary to accommodate the proposed service. No dice. The issue hinges on the concept of unreasonable impairment. What's that?

@AmtrakAlerts The @Amtrak website is showing the 53 from Lorton today is leaving at 5pm. I guess people are pushing their cars down the track to Sanford since the train won't be there until 7:02 plus the 3-4 hours to clean and off load the cars on board.

@AmtrakNECAlerts Update: there are two engines en route but no one knows when they will arrive. Supposedly one will tow away the broken engine and the second one will take the train to “all station stops.” Apparently this is unprecedented because no one is saying how long this will take.
