Strongly doubt it. The infra bill was popular, declared a lot of open-ended funding not including the however many billions dedicated to Amtrak, and reflects what Trump was doing in his first term re: fixing our transportation equipment.

its sad that the president has the power to kill amtrak

Nice to see the Wolverine service using top and tail power.

P42 LEADER nice catch

Your script is way to large on the screen; calm it down a bit.

All venture cars nice catch

Nice catch! I wonder when another Midwest Charger will get the new nose cone.

Would that Meta train drop you off right at O'Hare?

Where is this

The “music” is really irritating.

MBTA goes from Boston MA to Providence RI which is great.

Good on the conductor for telling passengers to keep their shoes of the seats!

You could have ended the video by walking up to the bean sculpture in Millennium Park instead of following some custodian with a garbage can.

Saw him in royal oak

I remember the North Shore Line and the Chicago Aurora and Elgin ran their trains at much higher speeds than 79 miles an hour especially between stations.

The Amtrak station in MC is near the lake. Alas, not really near the South Shore. There is talk about moving it too, like South Bend.

There’s talk of shifting Amtrak to the South Shore from South Bend west to concentrate passenger trains on one route.

That’s my first time seeing or hearing conductor asking for ID to inspection on Amtrak!

The two tracks that bypass the station are not actually express tracks. They are a different branch of the LIRR - the Montauk Branch with service east to Babylon (and beyond) and west to NYC.

On a scale of late to late, how late was it? I commute using the SSL and it's late 99% of the time.

That rolling stock has such an NJT Arrow III vibe! LOL!

I love how the EMUs use a crossing bell on the front

What a pointy nose!

I wish amtrak would use the venture café class cars instead of the amfleet café cars

Nice video 👍

Loved the “Miles in Transit” homage in there!

I love ❤️ the Atlanta airport

Nice catch! I hope it's on all weekend

Nice catch!

Reposition flight back to KATL for another Long-Haul Flight, so Delta wants to make money instead of lose money by reposition so they sell tickets from Detroit to ATL

This is what we call in airline operations as a positioning service. At Lufthansa we did this a lot in the past between Frankfurt and Munich. Cheers.

6:36 The Amfleet café car appears smooth and controlled. Having the vestibule door open adds a lot of loud track noise. Stainless steel Amfleet cars are derived from the 1960s Metroliner designed for 165 mph operation on an upgraded NEC using adjustable air bags for springs in their suspension. The MTU Metroliner cars proved to be troublesome with their propulsion, but their passenger train car dynamics were very good. The stainless steel technology was licensed by the Japanese Shijncasen bullet train manufacture with technology exchange for the Metroliner. It was later discovered that Metroliner type service could be provided with Amfleet cars being pulled at 125 mph with much more reliable AEM7 electric locomotives on the NEC than the original MTU Metroliner cars. I rode on the original MTU Metroliner when I was 13 and it was so smooth at 120 mph looking out the front without looking at the speedometer I wouldn't of believed it was that fast. I thought it might be kph, but the engineer announced very clearly 120, 90, 60, 30 miles per hour when pointing at the speedometer with listings of 15, 12, 9, 6, 3, 0 with tick marks filling in between. It appeared less than half 120 mph.

Nice video 👍

I miss the old days when it was common to have more roomy widebodies on flights within the US.

LOL....Of all places, i am in fact watching this from my homeland in New Zealand., awesome flight review 🛫👍

Enjoy your trip

Is that Howard st. crossing?

Your videos are too short and the descriptions at the bottom of the screen appear and disappear too fast. A narrative is much better than listening to music. The pictures are great and crisp😊

I'm a little disappointed, you didn't show the counter area on the new cafe cars, which as a former Amtrak LSA I'm curious to see. It kind of blows my mind that Amtrak removed the counter doors on the Amcafes, that means that pretty much anyone can go behind your counter. How is that secure? That's going to make it really hard to properly represent one "as delivered" in preservation someday if all the counter doors have been scrapped. Of course you'd have to recreate the psychedelic '70s wall and seat coverings, as well as recreating the original security shields that were supposed to allow the attendant to close up the cafe while leaving the display set up. They forgot skinny thieves who could climb over them at the top. Also, originally there were only coach seats on either side of the counter. I believe an Amcafe could seat 52. Eventually they replaced the shields with a security bar system that worked much better. Also the prices are mind blowing. When I started in 1985, they didn't sell a "combo", but a sandwich, like the turkey and cheese, chips and a drink was $3.60. I will go to my grave remembering that price combo, and I left 25 years ago. Oh, and a shot of liquor was $2.25 when I left, and Amtrak only paid about 90 cents per shot bottle. I remember when coffee hit a dollar a cup in the mid-'90s, but to soften the blow they sold a slightly larger cup and offered free refills.

Nice video 😍

2:10 didn’t know Miles in Transit was exporting his beautiful vocals

Cool video

Really tacky looking. Designed more for the cleaners than the passengers. Grim.

Thanks for the video. We have Ventures out here in the Central Valley of California, but no Cafe Cars yet. I have been wanting to see the inside of them, so thanks for sharing.

I think Amtrak could do better. Nice video. Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida.

Café is even more disappointing than the bland coaches.

De train de train

Used to hear those P42s and Chargers out the window while taking courses at WMU. Only rarely got to see 'em, mostly while driving to or from campus. Lovely shots!

If I am correct, I am standing on the other side of the battle creek platform. I HAVE FOOTAGE OF 4633 PULLING IN!
