Well, thanks to you and Train Dude and a couple of others, we've learned our lesson on that. When we hear antisemitic remarks, we just nod politely and let them keep ripping. There. Does that make you feel better now? |

Unless you're getting paid to be here, this is recreational, even if the discussions are "serious". You can get some serious political discussions going at a bar, doesn't mean it's not recreation.You seem the be the only one who makes this place seem like work. The rest of us, it's recreation. There are an infinite number of more productive things that can be done with the time spent here. Anyone taking this place seriously is just plain sad. |

True or false?On a few trips out of Boston on the ONLY train that runs to Albany from there, they often had a DINER on the consist. True or false? I said that I had a SIT DOWN meal. You can't do that on anything OTHER than a diner |

Unless you're getting paid to be here, this is recreational, even if the discussions are "serious". You can get some serious political discussions going at a bar, doesn't mean it's not recreation.Nope. You're wrong. People come here to discuss things, many of which are factual. Sure some people want to talk about their favorite trains, but that's ancillary to the main purpose of this forum (and others like it), which is to discuss factual/historical ideas and topics. Discussing which paint schemes the R-33MLs wore and when is not a recreational topic. It is a factual topic. No one is looking for bullshit and lies and opinions. They want to know the facts. And when someone comes along and posts things that aren't true and argues with the people who are much more knowledgeable on the matter and adds 50 posts to what would of and could of just been a 30 post thread that cut right to the heart of the matter, then that's wrong. If that person has any respect for the community, once they realize their error, they would admit their mistake, apologize for being an idiot, and learn from it so they try not to do it again. You seem the be the only one who makes this place seem like work.Huh? The rest of us, it's recreation.No it's not. I don't make long factual posts. But many others do. Many others take great pains to present logical and informative posts full of facts. Are you minimizing and dismissing their efforts? There are an infinite number of more productive things that can be done with the time spent here.Wrong. This is a great place to go to find quick answers to esoteric subway questions that can't be found so easily, or at all, on Google. I can't think of any more productive thing to do in that regard. Anyone taking this place seriously is just plain sad.Almost all of the intelligent, regular posters take this place seriously. You seem to be quite out of touch with reality. It seems like this is some sort of defense mechanism kicking in on your part due to the fact that you've sometimes fallen flat on your face when you try to unnecessarily show me or others up. |

LOL that was a good laugh.The only one out of touch with reality is you. Discussing the "facts" of transit systems here *is* recreation! Esoteric subway knowledge is interesting and fun, but certainly not productive. That is why railfanning is categorized as a "hobby", "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure." |

Interesting news. I hope the speed limit signs will also have a warning that radar will be usd to enforce the speed limit.On a serious note, instead of an actual physical second crew member, I wonder if they could save money by having a virtual crew member instead. The virtual crew member would be connected by computer when the train approaches a critical area. He/she would have a view of the operator's position, the track ahead and speed. If the engineer is exceeding safe speed, the virtual crew member could energize a solenoid that would apply the emergency brakes. |

So it'd have less of an impact when compared to installing PTC everywhere, but would require an inordinate amount of bandwidth from the train being monitored with a huge increase in workforce and thus salary. I'd rather Amtrak just complete the installation of ACSES on all NEC tracks. |

I have no clue. They are still working on the cause of the crash. I'm not sure if they have discounted the "something hit the windshield theory"? |
