I got the lucky chance to ride Amtrak’s Keystone Service from Philly to New York and I have to say I am in love. This is just about the best of what Amtrak could be doing everywhere and it is criminal we are not doing this for more American cities

We really need to nationalize the rail network, and give Amtrak a budget to rival the US military

CINDERELLLAAAAAAA

Me, my father, and my brother all went out to Dollywood today and I nearly cried seeing Cindy pull up to the station. Her fellow engine, Klondike Katie, is currently not working (I believe she broke a part not very long ago) but I'm sure they're taking good care of her as I write this post!

Cinderella and Klondike Katie are both genuine coal burners, and I can attest to this because lovely Cindy got some coal bits on my pants lol. Cindy's got a gorgeous whistle and I am thrilled to have gotten to meet her. The girls are 36" gauge 2-8-2 locomotives originally built by Baldwin, Cinderella is #70 whilst Klondike Katie is #192. Cindy was built in 1938, Katie in 1943, and the conductor who spoke to us on the ride called Cindy a war vet...but Katie is too, because she was built for the US Army Transportation Corp!

(I also got these >:3)

The scene shows the rarely photographed "California Service" train that replaced the original California Zephyr after it was discontinued in March 1970 in 1970 at Highlands (Hinsdale), Ill. At the direction of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the "California Service" was created to appease opponents of the CZ's discontinuance. It preserved the essence of the original CZ between Chicago and Salt Lake City, running on the BN (ex-CB&Q lines) as far as Denver, D&RGW as far as Salt Lake City and the SP as far as Ogden where a cross-platform transfer could be made with UP's City of San Francisco. The train ran tri-weekly between Chicago and Ogden, Utah, and was combined with BN's Nebraska Zephyr between Chicago and Lincoln. In this scene, the first five cars constitute the NZ and the remaining cars were for the California Service.

How to create an atmosphere: Train Station

Sight

people patiently waiting for their trains, lost in their phones

passengers running down the platform to catch their train

someone struggling with all their baggage

small children running around

people waiting for their loved ones

a sad, but sweet goodbye

an excited and happy hello

people drinking and eating on the platform, waiting for their trains to arrive

people getting confused at the ticket vending machines

passengers waiting in line at the service desk to complain or to find a new route

people routinely checking the time and arrival of their delayed trains

Hearing

passenger trains arriving and leaving the station

the beeping of the doors opening and closing

the whistling of the conductor when the train is about to leave

a freight train speeding through the station, making it impossible to hear anything else at all

announcements of trains arriving, being late or being redirected to another platform

announcements about being careful to not let their baggage unsupervised and to only smoke in designated areas

pigeons flying around

passengers running down the platform, screaming for the train to wait for them

Touch

the stickiness of the floor

the gush of wind when a train drives through

Smell

that specific smell of every train station, that can't be pinpointed

the smell of fresh pastry from the bakeries inside the station

the smell of fast food and old oil

the smell of pigeons living inside the train station

that specific smell of train tunnels

the smell of cigarette smoke coming from the designated smoking area

Taste

stale air on the roofed platform

overpriced coffee or tea to go

sweet kiss goodbye

Anyway I'll never forget that 22 hour bus ride to Alabama to help my friend get married and one of the legs of the journey I was on the bus with my (clearly labelled, well behaved) service dog at my side and people were throwing a huge stink about the fact that I had my dog and then this ancient dude in a wheelchair, double amputee both legs, pipes up and tells them to shut the fuck up and leave me alone because Creed was obviously trained and then once everyone quieted down and I was able to take a seat, asked me quietly if I was okay.

He also could have been a cartoon character because I could have sworn there were little winged hearts floating above his head as he told me he'd always liked dogs but of course now he's old and can't walk so he can't get one anymore but he could tell how much Creed loved me and I him etc etc

He never asked me once what my disability was. He spoke up for me when he didn't have to. A truly old white man in Georgia saw a young black person with a "dangerous dog" breed and spoke up in my defense.

If you want to claim to be a disability advocate, that means you kind of have to. Advocate for each other. For the next 4 or so hours, this man and I had each other's backs. Two disabled people on a Greyhound filled with ableist passengers who were not happy we couldn't exist somewhere they didn't havr to accomodate. It didn't matter what our pasts or our diagnoses were. We were stronger together, so that's what we stayed. Together.

Two people banded together and the rest of the bus shut their mouths. Imagine what we could do with more of us.

The most unhinged conversation that I've ever had with a passenger:

*PAX presses call light during beverage service*

Me: "Hi there! Can I help you with anything?"

PAX: "hi yes, can you tell me what that light is outside the window?"

Me: "the... light?" *visible confusion*

PAX: "Yes, that large light over in the distance. I think it's been following us for a while"

Me: *climbs into the row and prepares explanation for the wingtip lights*

PAX: "See, that orange one out there"

Me: *sees and stutters with even more confusion*

Me: "Ma'am, are you pointing to the Moon?"

PAX: "oh that's the moon? Why is it so orange and large then?"

Me: *struggling to come up with literally anything to say*

PAX: "oh it must be because we're so high. I'll have a diet coke then"

Me: *hands her a diet coke in silence"

What is a passenger handling service?

Before and after the flight, passengers can request assistance from airport ground staff. They answer all of your questions, including those related to checked baggage and flight reservations, among others.

Given that the aviation industry is expected to hit third place by 2024, this is an exceptional time to look for ground support jobs. Potential applicants must be admitted to some of the best aviation universities in Dubai to pursue a career in ground crew. This suggests that completion of grade 12 or its equivalent and admission to undergraduate and graduate aviation management courses are prerequisites. Admission may be granted on the basis of entrance test results or ranking, depending on the institution.

Before choosing a job, everyone should choose. They should think about the opportunities, disadvantages and advantages of fieldwork before making a decision.

No specific academic background is required for applicants seeking ground crew jobs.

I know I've shared this link before, but please take a few minutes to tell the US Federal Railroad Administration that we need more passenger trains. (Nicely! They know we need them and are gathering data for where they'll get the most bang for their buck, so to speak.) If you don't personally have any specific opinions on where trains are needed, please encourage them to reopen the old Amtrak Floridian line, because it would make my life so much nicer.

You don't even have to be in the US to submit feedback btw.
