It's interesting how Bristol, PA is a perfectly nice small city, but generates so little SEPTA R7 ridership. Compare to Croydon which has high level platforms and a generally full lot.

Amtrak s westbound Pennsylvanian Train 43 passing by the Milepost 21 intermediate signal on the Main Line.
These might be the most recent main line instances of G grade plates in North America.

TFW you accidentally get into an NEC vs I-95 race and realize you'll have just enough time to get into position for a video of your friend passing on a Next Gen Acela.
Made it with a cool 45 seconds to spare and I only had to pull off my usual route via Del Rt 279 near Newark.

When I saw this I figured the bonuses were cumulative, so 500 points for each level.
Turns out they are additive! So I'm currently on a last minute round trip to DC for a happy hour event 😅

Does anybody know what rail cars would have been moving through Catawissa, PA around Thanksgiving last year? I assume they are heading down from Alstom. They look like an NYCTA NTT, but Alstom didn't have an R211 contract 🤔

But why can't we build granite railway bridges like we did back in 1904. 🤔

Amtrak YouTubers have been negligent in not reporting how bad the new bathrooms are. The doors are slow AF and they have a weak dryer vs paper towels. Just because the door might be a slight improvement for 5 annual ADA riders, doesn't mean the bathroom are "an improvement".

The overhead bin space problems are matter of design, not European loading gauge. There's 4-6 inches of dead space above the passengers. This should have been used to expand carry on capacity.
Idk if tall passengers were complaining or it's window placement, but the racks are too high up.

If you want my seat hot take, Amtrak set the new seats to the median level of recline. It's going to be an issue for some, but probably not enough to force a change. People needing less recline should bring a lumbar pad.

Maybe MARC can just rename it to the "Amtrak Line". 🤔
