Happy Easter.
No pastel painted trains today, but here’s a classic - the #Amtrak GG1 electric and 7 matching passenger cars made by Lionel Trains Inc. in 1989.
This is my very first GG1. While not Lionel’s best paint work, it is a great runner, and for under $350 for the whole set I can’t complain.

An update for the #Amtrak #Pennsylvanian. Lewistown Station is getting upgrades - I didn't realize this was Amtrak's oldest station. There's a note that says that the second daily train still plans to start in Fall 2026. I really hope that's still the case!

Everyone is discovering the Metroliners! “The Time America Tried to Build a Bullet Train” from the B1M. #metroliner #NEC #HSR #amtrak #highspeedrail www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe6h...

Contrary to CVNP's false assertions, there is a rich tradition, past and present, of American train service to American parks, national or otherwise.

#Amtrak does it all the time! Look how awesome this is!

#AMTRAK - fix your damn web site.

Getting reservations is a crap shoot. I'm running 1 for 3 right now. And now I've been on hold for 20 minutes.

It's irksome yo be told repeatedly that that I can make reservations at the web site WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK!

Smexy ass ex-Amtrak P40 I saw before going out to eat. Honestly I like them way more in the CTRail livery. (also ignore Toullie I literally just got him from the mall) #trains #locomotive #trainspotting #amtrak #foamer #autism #actuallyautistic #train #locomotives #railfan #railfanning #diesel

Always a good day to ride the Surfliner. #amtrak #trains

Man sleeping seen as a reflection on glass above seats.

Also, maybe the shiny glass above the seats for luggage is a bad idea on Acela. I've been stuck watching this St. John's fan sleeping the entire trip so far. #Amtrak

Inside of a Acela car with rows of seats

Taking the Acela NextGen for the first time. It's a bumpy ride and the seats are hard and unforgiving. I'm going to leave this train with a back ache. #Amtrak

I canceled my flight and paid $200 for a 20-hour train to avoid TSA airport chaos — and I'd do it again TSA chaos and long airport lines pushed me to cancel my flight and take a 20-hour Amtrak ride instead. Here's why I'd do it again.

As a veteran #Amtrak traveller, I already knew that #trains are often a better choice than #flying.

Conductor was explaining communal seating in the dining car. Apparently this really shocks people who’ve never ridden the train before.
