Talk:Amtrak

So, do I have to be the only one to mention the yearly (almost) event called "Moon The Amtrak", held in Laguna Niguel California? I'd add a link, but it may be NSFW. Google said event if you wish! Chair tater (talk) 07:37, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

The blame the FRA narrative common with transit bloggers
Should the narrative that FRA regulations are part of the reason why Amtrak is forced to run heavy (and therefore inefficient) trains that are too different from international standards to be able to buy off the shelf trains (at notably lower prices) be noted on the main page? this and this transit blog blow into this horn and that is only the result of a short google search... As to whether that claim holds water... I am not an expert but I am inclined to believe it up to some point. The Acela for one is notably heavier than its peers in Europe Japan and China 141.30.210.129 (talk) 20:43, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
