Pudding brain will be upset

[Sarah Barracuda]

Biden says I did that

[Adder]

Canceling trains is not disruptive?

[BenLurkin]

The Democrat Party isn’t just corrupt. It is also incompetent.

[mware]

Better stock up. Its about to get real.

[crz]

What is the latest on this?

[decal]

“...the changes will ensure trains can reach their destinations before the strike”

When did an Amtrak train reach its destination ever?

[al baby]

Define long distance ?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I always thought it was really odd that Amtrak stopped all its trains for an hour when daylight savings time transitions to standard time.

[mass55th]

Long distance? You can’t even take the train to where you want to go anymore. I checked into taking the train from central NY State, to Indianapolis, Indiana, and there are no commuter trains that could get me there. There is no train that goes to the western part of the State. I specifically called and talked to someone in Amtrak’s ticket office, and they confirmed that there was no way I could get there by train. My father worked on the New York Central Railroad for over 50 years. He retired not long after they became Penn Central. If he were alive today, he’d be devastated to see what has been done to the rail system and the country. He came here from Holland at the age of 8 in 1912, was naturalized, and an FDR Democrat his whole life. He would not recognize the party today.

Pete Buttigieg Fail. This is what happens when incompetent people are put in In Real Life (IRL) jobs.

He recently pushed to re-activate Amtrak lines that haven't been used in 70 years. At least some travelers got three months on those lines.

Lay down a bunch of new tracks, repair some bridges, and then shut it all down.

Union Pacific trains haul coal in cars over a mile in length daily in Texas to feed the coal fired electric power plants. If those stop then here comes the power blackouts. Solar and wind are a puny percentage of the power used in this country. Talk about a democRAT driven destruction of our country. This should really inspire people to vote RAT in November!

For long distance routes, like the Southwest Chief, Amtrak is dependent on BNSF tracks + dispatch.

The last Southwest Chief crossed Missouri this morning.

Is the Northeast Corridor still running? Amtrak owns the corridor line.

Where’s Willie Green when you need him?

[cozy3]

I read just this afternoon that one of the unions had voted to reject the offer but, they would postpone any further action so other unions could decide and pushed a final date to September 26/27. So, maybe there is a delay in the actual strike but, not sure Amtrak can respond quickly.

[PghBaldy]

The Hair Sniffer is Mr. Amtrak!

[fwdude]

And I thought it was because they weren’t electric trains.

[Magnatron]

At least Hitler made them run on time. What’s the matter with this pack of fascists?

[mykroar]

So the strike’s happening then, union giving advance notice to Brandon’s team?

[Bernard]

Amtrak will cancel all long-distance trains beginning on Thursday to avoid disruptions

The level of lack of self-awareness required to write that is HUUUGE! Sounds like "we had to destroy the village in order to save it".

[Spok]

I have no doubt that Biden is orchestrating this strike based on the economic harm it will inflict.
