Next thing you know, freight train comes along and the family scatters everywhere. Couple of them JUST missed being run over. This happened in the past couple of years from what I remember. Scary too. Not sure why they decided to have a family reunion on active freight rails. Seems to happen more often than one would think it would. People thinking the train is going slower than it is I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak sharing track with freight trains is the absolutely dumbest thing on the face of this planet. Agree, as a long-time user of the Auto Train between VA and FL, we've encountered a lot of delays over the years waiting on freight traffic to move through. Amtrak is too bare-boned to have the resources to move to their own rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used Amtrak a lot during my travel times, can't wait to get back to that, only going to the west I believe they share anything east they don't.

Nice seeing the central/southern VA jackpot - that might come as a surprise to some folks down there who've been enjoying an early spring preview this week.

I would know, rode them every day for 14 years pre-covid. I'll likely get back to doing so again if I ever get brought back for in-person work. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Jns2183 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Personally I’m waiting for late March to make a run at the 90s followed 14 days later by 4sd block showing up and a cut off low dumping 45 inches of snow in the elevations in Chester county . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of 1/2 hr ago Etown has plenty left to snowmobile tonight. (and I saw fresh tracks from this morning). All I care about. I wanna go tonight at home and wife just asked me out on a date. Ughhh.

It will gain latitude too quickly with the low being that far East. Better placed high and we have a Snow Storm sweeping in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
