Sorry about strange amtrak forum I was acting. I have nothing against amtrak at all what i ment was wouldn't it be nice to see the rio grande or prr or any other railroad that pops into the mind.
Aw, I enjoyed the thread, it was just getting interesting. :D
Anyway, the Amtrak models don't trip my trigger either. The original Rio Grande California Zephyr was awesome. Same with the Santa Fe Superchief and El Capitan.

Hehe,
I liked the story how ATSF said if Amtrak couldn't keep up the service and comfort the Super Chief had, they couldn't name their train by it. Amtrak simply just renamed it the Southwest Chief. :D
Amtrak is in the hearts of most who lives and enjoys modern railroading, but in the category of "Undecided" in terms of good or bad...
It's like the Chicago White Sox versus Cubs, but let's not get into that. ;)
I must of missed it... I bet it
was heating up. :)
Just be careful adari,
Wait, Cleveland? Is Amtrak even up there? There's probably a huge major route, and I'm going to look stupid, ah, wouldn't be the first.

Yeah(lol), i actually tape trains and go like once every 2 months for the 6:00 or the first three that pass. It's ridiculous! "They arrive at Cleveland at 3:00 in the morning! They get to New york by 6:00! Cleveland's not as big as they say after all! lol!" yeah i still crack up to that! :D
I just wanted to delete it. wasn't the smartest stuff i've said on here but i was acting strange that day any way.
We all have those kinds of moments. :)
