My view is that the RMT are selfishly playing games with people's livlihoods on the misconception that it is looking after its members. If the only way they can look after their members is by causing problems for thousands of others, then the RMT should be ashamed of themselves! The government should ban the strike and the rail companies should sack anyone who doesn't turn up for work!

I believe the old London Midland and Scottish railway ran some through trains, possibly via Willesdon Junction.

While on the trains in Japan, we noticed that the drivers point regularly at something in the distance, perhaps every 30 seconds. All do this, and we couldn't see anything specific that they were pointing at. Some pressed a button marked EB before, some didn't. This is a strange question I know, but it's bugging me. Why do they do this?

I'm looking 4 several things out of this question. You see, I'm traveling from DC to Roseville, CA, at the beginning of Sept via Amtrak. I am taking the Capital Limited from DC to Chicago & then the California Zephyr from Chicago to Roseville. I don't have the $$$ to upgrade to a room, so I'm looking for any tips that you might have regarding what to take with me to make my trip a little easier.

1. What is the price range & quality of the food service on the trains?
2. Ideas on how to "freshen up"? What type of accomodations are there for Coach?
3. Entertainment - I've seen that there is entertainment on the trains. What kind is available?
4. What constitutes "carry on" luggage with Amtrak? Part of my trip includes Checked Baggage, but the longest leg (CHI to Roseville) doesn't offer this service.

Any help, info & ideas is greatly appreciated! I thought about Greyhound travel, but on this type of trip, I don't want to be cramped up on a small bus seat. LOL
Thanks!

If I added a kit to my truck so that I could operate it on train tracks (like Amtrak does with its utility vehicles), would you need, and could you get, permission to use your vehicle on the train tracks? Is there such a thing as public train tracks?

When I was a kid in the mid to late 70's, there were many midwestern municipal parks that had small railroads in them. In some cases they were free or charged a nominal fee. Both Children and adults could ride inside the cars and travel on simple loops of track or sometimes through more complicated scenery. Many of these amusement rides have since been abandoned due to insurance or operating costs and the trains themselves are collectors items.
It was a relatively simple form of entertainment that I imagine grew out of America's fascination with the real railroads especially since many of our parents had traveled the rails when they were younger. The great part was that both Children and their parents or grandparents could participate together.

Do you believe this entertainment situation could still work today? Or, have we all grown so busy that no one would be interested?
