Have not heard any trains going by my location last 36 hours here in Fort Worth TX metro area. I live about 1 mile from a major North / South Union Pacific freight line that's also used by AMTRAK. Well Amtrak is still running most services. The Texas Eagle 21 is currently leaving Fort Worth on time for Celburn. With the 22 heading north for the same destination, only 39 mins late. The Heartland Flyer 821 is 1 hour 39 min late due Fort Worth 2.10pm CT. Not sure why the freight railroads in Texas might have cut back. PS Just watched a 64 car BNSF Auto Rack train leaving Fort Worth So there is freight out there |

Amtrak discloses data breach, potential leak of customer account data The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has disclosed a data breach that may have resulted in the compromise of customer personally identifiable information (PII). The data breach was discovered on April 16, 2020. In a letter to the Attorney General's Office of Vermont, made public on April 29, the rail service said that an unknown third party managed to fraudulently access Amtrak Guest Rewards accounts. |

Scientists find out why leaves on the track causes travel chaos Leaves on the line are a notorious headache for commuters and train companies alike, causing costly delays. Now scientists say they have unpicked why fallen foliage makes rails so slippery. |

So the infamous announcement "Delays due to the wrong type of leaves on the line" was right - some types of leaf have far more tannins in them that others. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

NTSB report on August 12, 2019 collision between two CSX freight trains near Carey, Ohio. CSX ripped a new one for allowing an engineer to go many years without a piss test. Also ripped for PTC rules that allow unsafe operation. |

Man who allegedly stranded Sydney commuters after jumping train tracks charged. A man has been charged after he allegedly jumped onto train tracks near one of Sydney’s busiest stations, bringing traffic to a standstill and causing chaos for commuters.I can bet that he didn't get any cheers from those passengers on the main western lines who were at least 3hrs late getting home from work yesterday evening. Cheers. |
