Why do trains always "chug?"  "The train has a dining car." oops. An AmDinette is not a dining car.

That's a nice little article.  Making taking the train sound inviting.

I've been in dining cars. Dining cars have been good friends of mine. What the Lake Shore had before the Amdinette was no dining car.

Ever closely listen to an Amtrak Genesis diesel?  I have. "Chug Chug" is not an inaccurate description of its sound.

Overly nit-picky.  Give it a rest.

I would think the Cub fans would rather ride #30 instead considering the times aren't as bad as that of #48. I would think #49 would be a better choice though for the trip back to Chicago.

True Cubs fans would ride an open gondola car to see their beloved Cubbies in the world series.

I hope Amtrak is watching the capacity for this train and adding cars as is needed, particularly the high end sleeper ------ Amtrak only operates 39 out of the 50 Viewliner sleepers it has. Course now the Amfleet AmDinette faces the possibility of being overcrowded and unable to handle the crowds. Coordinate a box dinner or box lunch somehwere on the line to help out. The NEW diners would actually be PERFECT!

Apparently the last time the Cubs were in the Wold Series, there were only 46 states.

Try 48 states as the Cubs were last in the World Series in 1945. The last time they won the World Series was in 1908. There were only 46 states in 1908. New Mexico and Arizona were admitted in 1912.

Not that I heard, except for reading that Article in Sports Illustrated titled "Mr. Softy" and I'm like "Stienbrenner?"
