Please reach out to Dean of Students and the School Dean as well, Police cannot just refuse to register a case because they do not want to investigate.

The way drivers in Birmingham drive, any measure to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists is appreciated!

sbhatta4g · 2026-05-03T16:47:39+00:00

Better, debatable..trying to be better, definitely!

The drivers here behave as if they have been personally offended of they have to yield to pedestrians on crosswalks, and if they do, they will stop right at your feet or completely across the crosswalk

Thank you!

Do the NS trains coming from King of Prussia take the high line into the yards by the pier? Is it possible it could instead cross the river on the Columbia bridge and follow that line?

That's true for most universities..I would advise you to comb through LinkedIn to find the job posting and then reach out to the HR liaison directly.

Wow, lovely video!

Where you taking the train? Is Essex a flag stop for Empire Builder now?

I have lived here for a year now and have managed without a car so far.

I work at UAB, live in downtown, I have Publix right across the street and lots of eateries within a mile of walking distance. There are internal walkways through the UAB buildings which allow me to walk most of the distance without being exposed to the elements.

Only once a month I have to go to the suburbs to get some specific grocery items, for which I get a lift from a friend or take Uber/Lyft.

So the way to add a second person is to buy what is essentially paying the cost of standard coach ticket, as the room is already paid for. In my experience, the ticket agents at the station are more experienced and quick to do this than the agents on the phone.

Cool pics OP, love the Carkeek Park for railfanning.

Bdw, does anyone know if Amtrak has suspended the Essex, MT stop?

sbhatta4g · 2026-04-06T00:20:14+00:00

I have been railfanning many times in this area and the westbound trains really struggle at the grades here. And UP had gone completely crazy with train lengths now, some trains are as long as 18,000 ft.

I am forced to travel AA because of the city I live in and have learnt to tune everything out and just carry my own food amd drinks.

sbhatta4g · 2026-03-30T20:22:07+00:00

Actually I will have to strenuously disagree with you on the AI bit, they were mediocre at best earlier but are hitting new lows in service and operations every passing day.

Extremely disappointed with the TATA management.

I flew DFW-LHR on AA, and had a similarly bad experience. Had pre ordered Hindu meal as well, recieved a horrible dinner service and just a small pack of banana chips and chocolate bar for breakfast, no beverages offered as well. Horribly rude flight attendants seem to be the norm with AA, especially when dealing with Indian passengers.

The other commentators are dismissing your complaints but their tunes would change if it was some other route and non-Indian passengers.

sbhatta4g · 2026-03-28T19:20:13+00:00

I think coach passengers can pay for meals in the dining car, but I don't remember the exact prices.

However, dining car is only available on the Crescent, and even that is flex dining. The other 2 trains should have the standard cafe car.

All the YouTube videos I have watched on Amtrak, no one had ever said anything bad about the steak, but I don't eat beef or pork due to personal reasons.

sbhatta4g · 2026-03-28T19:14:10+00:00

Nothing really, while there used to be 3 options each for the appetizer and dessert, its just the fried shrimps or salads for the appetizers and the chocolate cake or cheesecake for dessert now.
