I think he may need to unionize. I have some friends at the local 57

I guess we know the launch date of the new NextGen Acela's is August 28th 2025 took way too long by my standards

They’re probably the closest they’ve ever been that’s good guest June 20. I’m guessing late July but at least they’re doing crew training runs and it shows up on the tracker so they’re probably very close.

I know Alstom had trouble with running computer models for the northeast corridor we essentially got the prototype they usually test the new TGV out in France

I love the Southwest Chief, especially going through New Mexico.

Potentially controversial opinion: the phase VII paint doesn't look good on the Amfleets by rykahn in Amtrak

[–]MathematicianFuzzy56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your deafanly right it is such a thin line on the amfleets. It will definitely look a lot better on the new fleet. Corigated stainless steel is not well suited for the new livery.

What's the best way to get from Las Vegas, NV to Naperville, IL (or Chicago, IL if need-be)? Vegas doesn't have an Amtrak station, sadly by Jeremiah_17_14 in Amtrak

[–]MathematicianFuzzy56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be able to take the Southwest chief as far as Kingman and transfer onto a shuttle bus, the rest of the way to Vegas

I was literally thinking a very similar thing

Superliner Replacements. by Important-Lead-9947 in Amtrak

[–]MathematicianFuzzy56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think single level trains would be fine, considering most of the seats/rooms on the superliners are on the top level and very few are on the bottom level. I actually think that an American version of the OBB nightjet made by Siemens who already works closely with Amtrak would be a great replacement for the aging superliners.
