@bureaucracytimes.bsky.socialAmtrak was created in 1971 on the premise that it would become profitable without a subsidy. It never did. 50 years later, Congress is still debating the same question. A look at how the fiction got built — and why it stuck. #Amtrak #GovernmentCorporations #RailPolicy #GovernmentAccountability…

@publicnewsservice.bsky.socialRail carries 8% of the world's passengers but uses just 2% of global transportation energy. Now Amtrak is rolling out 83 new Airo trains (starting this fall in the Pacific Northwest) that can hit 125 mph and switch between diesel and electric. Collab w/@grist.org

@danwentzel.bsky.socialSince Trump has brought Los Angeles and San Diego together, you know what would really unite us?
Frequent high-speed rail trains.
By the way, the #Amtrak ride between the two cities is beautiful.

@corvallisurbanist.bsky.socialAmtrak cascades are rolling out new Airo train sets
I was on a sold-out older train, so it’s great to have modern trains with full capacity so more people in the NW can ride
But there’s little effort from #orleg to improve speed, increase service, or expand the network
@fnarf.bsky.socialThe personal holders are a nice touch but they apparently forgot to stock them with toilet paper. #amtrak #amtrakcascades #airo
@fnarf.bsky.social
@warreninphilly.bsky.socialGet on board the new railcars for #Amtrak.
@amedawg18.bsky.socialOh, @amtrak.com on here with zero posts? Guess you don’t want to hear how shit y’all are, huh? A particular fuck you to the nasty lady with whom I just spoke.

@samupstate.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gyThe morning sun lights up the new Tappan Zee Bridge, as seen from #Amtrak
Yes, I know that's not the official name of the bridge, but I refuse to use the name given by our nepo-baby disgraced ex-governor.
