Passenger Trains > Richard Anderson's travelsDate: 07/16/19 06:48 Richard Anderson's travels Author: Klondyke Has Richard Anderson travelled anywhere on Amtrak? If so, where has he been, how much of the network does he know, and how frequently does he ride? How did staff find him? Am I correct in assuming that an Amtrak President has no real use for Amtrak as part of his daily routine? What about his Board of Directors and Leadership Team? Just curious. I like to press the flesh to find out what’s going on, others don’t.

We need to pursue this question.. The best way to understand a system or a process is to do it, observe it before attempting to make changes. Richard Anderson needs to try this before he attempts to dismantle a system that works. Date: 07/16/19 07:16 Re: Richard Anderson's travels Author: dan he has been on the office car touring

------------------------------------------------------- > he has been on the office car touring That could not be more untrue, from what I have learned from those very close to the situation he has no interest in office cars. Joe Boardman and his minion spent millions building a small fleet of office cars including a laundry car. Most of them have all been either returned to revenue service or de-commissioned. He knows more about the system than many on this board whether you want to believe it or not.

Do you really see a resemblance if you look at his pic at the Amtrak website? niagara484 Date: 07/16/19 14:25 Re: Richard Anderson's travels Author: andersonb109 From the countless times I saw him in the intro of the Delta safety video, that's not him. But people look different when there aren't in a suit and tie.
Date: 07/16/19 15:03 Re: Richard Anderson's travels Author: Flyer92122 If it is him my question would be why? What is he learning, granted it looks fun as heck? Looking out the back end of a train inspecting tracks probably is an important job for someone qualified in railroad operations and doing their job. Anderson should be in suit/tie or at least business casual greeting people in the stations, as they pick up their contempary meals, as they settle in their seats or sleepers learning about the passenger experience. Track conditions can be learned by sobordinates.
Date: 07/16/19 17:25 Re: Richard Anderson's travels Author: jcoons I know him from Delta and have been in meetings with him. I seriously doubt that’s him.
He also isn’t a computer user. So the fact that this person is sitting with a laptop reinforces that I don’t think this is him. Similar facial features, but doubt its him. He’d be in slacks and a shirt at a minimum and he wears glasses, not contacts.
