  1. Good to learn about the train tracks improvements, including reconstruction of a bridge in Superior Township, Michigan.

    "The Blue Water Amtrak line — which runs between Chicago and Port Huron — will also receive new trains to increase capacity."

    Chicago-to-Detroit, Port Huron train line to see upgrades.

    A sunset scene in the West viewed the the windows of coach seating on the Amtrak Southwest Chief bound for Chicago from Riverside, CA.

  3. Georgia Department of Transportation has an open survey for their study on an Atlanta-Savannah passenger rail line. This line would be really useful to reduce travel time between either city.

  5. @nancylwayne Yes, that's totally been my experience too. Even with the poor frequencies and occasional massive delay, it's still my preferred way to travel longer distances.

    Also it's a bit tragic how much passenger rail the U.S. used to have, but lost. #CityNerd did a video on it which you might enjoy: youtube.com/watch?v=svao4PZ4bG
