Date: 07/09/19 07:34 Re: The Hoosier State is Back! Author: jcaestecker It would be hard to find a more poorly managed organization in the whole country. Beyond sad for customers.

Author: cabsignaldrop Maybe it's like Never Never Land, you have to think happy thoughts and BELIEVE that the train is there waiting to load passengers in the South concourse. Heck let's imagine it goes all the way to Cincinnati while we are at it.

Is the Floridian going to hold for the North Coast Hiawatha ? Posted from Android Date: 07/09/19 18:25 Re: The Hoosier State is Back! Author: mp51w I'm just wondering if they will have to run a hospital train to Beech Grove one of these days!
Didn't they get into this situation in the first place when they were running these extra trains separate from the Cardinal! Date: 07/09/19 18:49 Re: The Hoosier State is Back! Author: 4552 mp51w Wrote:

Cardinal is used for this. Saturdays on 50 and Mondays on 51 from what I've seen so far. Date: 07/09/19 19:46 Re: The Hoosier State is Back! Author: chess jcaestecker Wrote:

However, from the perspective of managing transportation safety, one could say that America's road & highway system (managed by thousands of organizations) is far worse than Amtrak with 30,000 - 40,000 annual fatalities and many, many more serious injuries.

Driver training in the US is also a joke, yet they think they are competent enough for Autobahn speed limits.

Over prioritization of automobiles over pedestrians and some police departments' indifference to victims of motor vehicle violence is another factor. Underenforecement of traffic laws/regulations IS a road/highway management decision. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/11/19 18:55 by RuleG. |
