  1. Just pulling the speed chart I recorded on this trip, south of Providence. It's quite interesting to see the train controls taking the speed on an exponential response before setlling to the desired speed of 160 mph!

  2. Acela Nextgen was a smooth ride overall. The two short 160 mph sprints before and after Providence, RI were a nice experience. Connecticut is pretty but horribly slow.

  3. That would be really neat.

    "The Amtrak service would initially run two round trips daily, with additional stops in Pewaukee and Watertown – bringing passenger service to Wisconsin's second- and third-most populous counties. That could increase to four trips daily."

  4. This is what the collapse of empire looks like

    "In this video, [Casey Jones discusses] the partial bridge collapse that occurred around 7:30 PM Eastern time in Cranston, Rhode Island for the highway ramp bridge leading from westbound Highway 10 to northbound I-95 that resulted in tons of steel and concrete debris fowling the Amtrak rail tracks that forced a shut down of train traffic."

  9. Day 2 of my trip, I started the morning in downtown San Francisco, and by afternoon I found myself in the majestic Yosemite Valley, and I got there without a car!
    I used Amtrak bus to Emeryville, Amtrak train to Merced, & YARTS bus into Yosemite NP.
    What a beautiful place! I look forward to exploring it further

  14. One way, $36! I call that a bargain!

    Our Texas State legislature is shameful for not funding this line.

    "The Heartland Flyer goes away? We're putting 80,000 plus passengers back out on Interstate 35."

    Amtrak route between Fort Worth, Oklahoma City could be shut down amid funding talks 🚆

  15. Waiting for the Crescent to Atlanta! Over/under on how late in get there in the morning? #TrainTravel #Amtrak

  16. Going through the pictures taken last October, when travelling on board the new #Amtrak 🇺🇸 #NextGenAcela high-speed train on the “Northeast Corridor” to New York. This #Alstom #Acela is a close relative to the future French #TGV, and it’s actually quite stylish. Top speed was above 250 kph.

  17. FYI: Be My Eyes and Amtrak are expanding live visual support to more than 50 train stations across the United States, including some of the largest and busiest stations in the country…

  18. The current two-month temporary schedule includes an hour+ of single-tracking:

  19. I made a map of all the public transit in Vermont! It's the map I always wish I had when I plan travel there. My goal is that someone sees this map, learns about a bus near them, and then takes the bus because of it.

  20. Der Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport hat das weltweit größte Passagieraufkommen. Die Peachtree Station kann da mit ihren täglich zwei Zügen nicht ganz mithalten und ist für eine Stadt mit 500.000 Einwohnern wie Atlanta beeindruckend übersichtlich.

  21. Hin und wieder bietet die Strecke aber die eine oder andere Abwechslung.
