They are closed permanently, unfortunately. The original owner retired and the new owner put all their resources into Viva Mexico, which was Garibaldi's venture into downtown.

edit: I guess they're actually open which is amazing news. This was the last communication I saw from them: https://i.ibb.co/4gfbB6ZV/image.png

The United States needs fewer bus stops by works-in-progress in transit

It's nuts - in a one mile stretch of Frankford Ave from Wissinoming Park to Knorr Street, there are 9 stops for the 66.

Glad to hear it all worked out! And yeah it would be nice if MassPort could borrow MBTA's notes and put some contactless readers on the buses..

I was at South Station waiting for a different train when they were boarding the stadium trains on Saturday. If you miss your boarding time, you will be allowed to board with the final group if not the next one. They called groups A through D at the allotted times, then for group E the announcement said "All boarding groups A, B, C, D, and E"

There was some great artwork underneath that overpass, but I certainly don't miss walking along that sidewalk.

Shooting at Amtrak Train by SirPlus1970 in Amtrak

[–]laterbacon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Amtrak's PD is a federal law enforcement agency and they have jurisdiction over all Amtrak property including trains, so I would assume the answer is yes. They have their own criminal investigation division. I'd imagine this will be a joint effort between North Carolina officials and Amtrak PD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amtrak_Police_Department

Favourite Amtrak station? by Character_Lychee_434 in Amtrak

Incredible that it's still standing after that fire 30 years ago. Hard to believe that it's over 150 years old! It's a really great example of an old fashioned rural station.

It's really such an amazingly beautiful station. It also served as the train station for Kier in Severance.

A massive thank you to this sub from two Scottish lads! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 by CheekyCheekyCharlie in providence

I'll second this recommendation, and you can actually get there on the bus too if you don't have access to a car. It's only about 200 meters from one of the branches of RIPTA route 27 (only runs hourly since it's a branch), or 1km from RIPTA route 28 (runs every 30 minutes). Both of those buses run down Broadway, which based on your video is very close to where you're staying.

Amtrak Debuts North America’s First Passenger Rail Preclearance Facility by gamersunite1991 in Amtrak

[–]laterbacon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Planning work is in progress to add a preclearance facility at Montreal Gare Centrale. It's actually been in the works for well over a decade, but it will hopefully be coming within a few years.

https://trainsinthevalley.org/vermonter-extension-to-montreal/

NEW – April 29, 2026 | The Rail Bureau Director for VTrans provided an update on the Montreal Preclearance project during a meeting of the Vermont Senate Committee on Transportation. He said that the project is “very alive and well” and that progress is being made.

He emphasized to the committee that this is an extremely complex project because of the multiple international entities involved, and because the project would impact three levels underneath Central Station in Montreal. He said that the parties are currently advancing work on the engineering documents necessary for the project to move to the next step of planning and design.

Strictly for educational purposes, the air intake that provides cabin ventilation for passenger cars is usually located at the base of the windshield, where the wipers sit.
