After all the unsupervised children that traipsed through this train (and the other three), it will need a heavy duty cleaning before being returned to service. One little monster in the queue spilled nice, sticky, red juice all over the upholstery...LOL!But the pic is awesome, Fred. :) |

There was a HUGE line at GCT waiting to get in to the equipment displays, so it was definitely not just a small group of "foamers" who were interested. I went down there intending to have a look at the inside of Acela, but when I saw the line, I decided it wasn't worth the wait. I picked up some literature from the tables in Vanderbilt Hall and went home.I decided to take Metro-North on the way home, getting off at Fordham, although I had come down on the #5 (which was terminating at Grand Central). With CityTicket, it was only $1.50 more than another subway fare. (OK, $1.65 if you count a PPR Metrocard swipe at it's real cost of about $2.10). I even got a free transfer to the Bx12 SBS, since it was within two hours of the time I first swiped in. |

Not really.....I mean speeds for its travels over MNR territory would be a big hit on its timeliness (best speed 90 MPH MAS between CP 217 @ New Rochelle and a point just west of Harrison), plus its tilt capabilities would have to be cut-out all the way from GCT until the MNR/Amtrak Division Post east of CP 274 in New Haven, not counting the numerous daily and permanent speed restrictions out and about MNR territory it will travel plus the rough track condition in the Bronx. |

I think it was mainly because the "Hickory Creek" had only one way in or out, so they were sending people in groups. YOu could go into the other cars though - totally awesome! |
