Date: 04/14/25 18:35 Re: Hockey travel by rail Author: NPRocky I can't imagine where Amtrak would get the equipment for this right now. It seems like VIA would be in a better position, given all the recent Venture arrivals, even with all the problems they've apparently been having. That's assuming a day train, I guess.

Hockey, baseball and basketball teams all use the NEC to bounce between Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore and DC when their schedules have them playing in those cities back-to-back. - Chris Date: 04/15/25 19:30 Re: Hockey travel by rail Author: NPRocky Is Amtrak able to do this with just the regular trains or do they have to add cars?
