    I felt so sad for the lady in Tucson. The agent must have alerted the crew, and the crew went above and beyond their jobs to help her help the passenger. Bravo, Sunset crew, Bravo!

      @@kevinhosey9570 Agree. It could be that s/he was held up at the counter trying to get a ticket or something else happened. Never assume that lateness was caused by an oversight of person(s) involved.

    Whoever the late passenger was, I hope and believe that they had a pressing reason for being late. But I was expecting the lady who was waiting to get on too, and I was quite surprised when she didn't. Anyway, try that with a jet plane? I don't think so. The crew was so kind to make that extra effort. I also still love the steam-engine whistles more than almost anything on here; they sound like the history and romance of our nation condensed into one beautiful, mournful song. Keep up the great work!

    Nice to see Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn's great grandkids enjoying a day on the river at 19:45....Another great grab bag, I really enjoyed it! Liked the double car between the tracks action too, and the knight-ings. The Fedex truck may have been driven by Sir Backus Overshoot. Very close call with the car behind.

    You is Elkhart’s platform so far away from the station? I’ve noticed a lot our the Amtrak stations have platforms that are a fair distance from any shelters/station buildings. Is this dine on purpose?

    • @Alxnick
      @Alxnick ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On purpose in the sense that it probably happened before Amtrak. A lot of those stations had tracks closer to the station so that stopped trains didn't interfere with the traffic on the main. Those tracks are long gone. It looks like Elkhart may have had two or three tracks closer to the station in the past.

    There could have been all sorts of extenuating circumstances for the passenger being late. I found your Amtrack 10 and Passenger 0 comment to be in rather bad taste! People get called out in chat for less than that but it's ok for you on a grab bag?
