2 years ago today the Amtrak Borealis started service running between St. Paul and Chicago, it beat ridership projections both years by nearly 100,000!!

In 1972, Amtrak ran a 2nd daily Chicago - LA Train, this one dubbed "The Chief" only ran during the summer, here it is in Ibis CA. Photo by Joe McMillan

Are you upset that the OCTA CEO wants to cut service? Send the OCTA board a letter to let them know not to listen to him! actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

Another one of my favorites today! This one was done by @pumzie.bsky.social I really love that mature sexy style she got here *_* look at her!!!!

Pretty crazy how underrated of an Amtrak hub Cleveland could be:

so would you close 9/10ths of stations or would you put a fully-staffed TSA metal detector station in lordsburg, NM (served 3x per week)

In the 2024 Amtrak Long Distance study, the FRA proposed a new LD Amtrak route connecting Houston to Denver:

In 1999/2000 Amtrak proposed numerous new routes under the "Network Growth Strategy" Very few where implemented and the few that where didn't last long. Such routes included a new cross country luxury train, rerouting the International through Detroit and service to Monterrey Mexico:

Metrolink has a budget deficit - caused in part by Metro and OCTA's decision to cut support - that could make temporary service cuts permanent for the next four years, just in time for the Olympics and the gulf crisis. OCTA and Metro need to hear from you! calelectricrail.org/metrolink-is...

RTD would pay $156 million, plus annual operating expenses of $10 million to $12 million, under a deal that would allow Front Range Passenger Rail “starter service” — linking Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins — to begin by January 2029, state officials announced today

Colorado has voted to name the proposed Fort Collins - Denver - Pueblo train. "CoCo" (Colorado Connector) Sorry but that name is so fucking ass sentinelcolorado.com/metro/coco-c...

Hair update

For those that missed the metro board committee meeting today: Karen Bass is officially moving full steam ahead on trying to ratfuck what would be the highest ridership light rail line in the country next week, over unscientific tunneling concerns identical to fred rosen's in bel air.

Updated South Shore Line future service concept as proposed by the Northwest Indiana RDA. The plan proposes two new lines and 12 new stations, as well as an extension to the Monon Corridor. This plan does not necessarily guarantee the NICTD will include all aspects in their 20 yr plan.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

IL state legislature has introduced HB4279 the "Passenger Rail Planning Act" The bill sets targets and guidelines for passenger rail in Illinois and helps planning coordination with other states. Each corridor would be nominated for the Corridor ID round 2 grants.

A closure alert for a line that hasn't even opened yet. Even for Toronto this is an epic fail.

Amtrak is planning passenger rail service to Madison by 2029: 🧵
