My Wife and I were booked for May 4 from Chicago to La on the Chief ..then we were going to drive to Death Valley and on to grand Canyon..Hotels are now closed in Death Valley and the Grand Canyon ..Amtrak apologized to us for the cancellation ..I told them its not their fault can't predict a pandemic ..stay safe..
Thanks for watching. Amtrak is still running, although I was told there were 30 people on 4 this morning including the crew. The Railrunner has been suspended, although they are running PTC test trains and training new crew members. Just no passengers.
I use a Bearcat BC125AT. I got a different antenna for it which is tuned to the frequencies that the railroads use. I probably got it from Amazon, but you can google it and shop around. I'm very happy with it. A lot of the regional trains are shut down but the long distance trains are operating but with shorter trains and few riders. Some of my friends are Amtrak crew and they are happy to have a job but concerned about being exposed. These people are great and deserve our recognition.

Thanks for posting Tom. Always great to see beloved New Mexico and the Southwest Chief. What is the current status on Amtrak and Railrunner in NM?

Hi Tom, what rail scanner are you using? Where did you get yours from? This is one of my favorite trains. How is Amtrak handling this pandemic?

Why did the first train have a surf liner train car?
Deadheading to Beech Grove for repairs.
When were they allowed to blow the horns there?
Where's 'there'?
@@YardLimit where the train footage was taken from in new Mexico
Did you know that Amtrak repairs surfliner cars at beech grove?
Yes
Corona consist? Is Amtrak calling their shorter trains corona consists?
No. It's a term I made up.
Shorter and shorter.
Indeed. Thanks for watching.
