^And this is yet another reason why we don't have a national passenger rail service.^ So long as AMTRAK has to share the tracks with freight, AMTRAK becomes the "Rented Mule" of the rails, suffering the slings and arrows of freight mishaps and misadventures. I'm not knocking the freight railroads here, it is after all their rails, for the most part, over which AMTRAK operates so naturally AMTRAK takes a back seat to what is, or isn't, going to be on time. What's the solution? If I had that answer I'd be running the show and the only show I'm running is N-Scale.
I just missed La Plata because I was just waking up from a nap. We barely stopped though. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk
We're on the way home. Currently in Missouri as you might've noticed in the last post. Here's a couple pictures from the train station in Raton, NM. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk
