I have discussed the Broadway Limited/Three Rivers in length in a previous article. Here are some of the others I found from timetables.org and Wikipedia that I thought were good routes (better than some that exist now): 1) Sunset Limited: New Orleans to Orlando via Pensacola and Jacksonville (Discontinued post Katrina) 2) Desert Wind: Chicago ...
2,312. Location. Northampton MA. Feb 21, 2009. #1. The Amtrak timetable's system map used to include VIA, but hasn't for a year or few now. So I put one together, adjusting the scales and perspectives of Amtrak and VIA maps to fit them together. Click on the map to go to the full-size version with readable city names: You really, really don't ...
Oct 1, 2016. #1. I might start doing the discontinued stops too. I have the all routes file too (google earth paths for each route, roughly following the rails), but I don't have access to it right now. I decided to add the Sunset East stops, as this route is technically "suspended", not discontinued. I hope this is intriguing somehow!
Jan 18, 2024. #2. These things are at various stages. *Second train CHI-MSP is happening this year. It'll use existing equipment and existing Hiawatha slots. Money for track improvements has been appropriated, and it's been agreed to begin service without all the improvements completed and then update the schedule (or be more reliable) later ...
Here is an article on a few, picturesque small towns that are Amtrak stops: https://is.gd/ETbOP9. I imagine that Forum members could list many more small towns that make for a nice visit and a fun "walking around" experience, as well as for taking photos. A few others that come to mind: Whitefish, MT.
Mar 20, 2011. #15. I've started an overlay. Right now it includes only the MORR (my home route), and has addresses for each station as well as a link to the Amtrak timetables page. I wanted to have a link to the .pdf for that particular route, but when I pulled the URL from amtrak.com's rce code, the link was broken.
Amtrak's current running time is 41.6 hours. The 1950 Super Chief left LAUPT 1.25 hours later than 2007 and arrived in Chicago 1.6 hours earlier than 2007. The average speed of 54.2MPH is still not bad compared to other Amtrak long distance routes compared to 1950s schedules. G.
Ithaca, NY. May 16, 2014. #4. Saxman is basically correct: the two new Illinois services. There's also a chance the Ethan Allen Express might be extended from Rutland, VT to Burlington, VT within the 5-year horizon. Vermont has not been setting a date for this but they've been pouring money in as fast as they can scrape it up, and it's getting ...
Feb 22, 2023. #1. I can't get SWC from CHI to LAX to show up on either Google or Bing Maps. Google shows Texas Eagle, and CZ to CS. Bing shows mostly buses with lots of connections (including one bus apparently named Silver Streak.) When I try CHI to intermediate stops in CO or NM, Google mostly says no transit routing is available.
Sep 22, 2022. #1. As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the FRA was ordered to establish the Corridor Identification and Development Program (Corridor ID), with the purpose of providing assistance in the development of new, enhanced, and restored intercity rail corridors. On May 13, 2022, the FRA published a Notice of Establishment in ...
