Amtrak lags in maintenance & updates to its inventory. When a rail car needs service, it gets mothballed & trains get shorter. Not enough cars are in service to meet demand. They have funding but are moving slow. High Speed Rail Alliance has an easy web form to write Transportation Secretary Duffy to request they expedite orders. https://www.hsrail.org/blog/ask-sec-duffy-to-expedite-superliner-replacement/ #amtrak #rail #trains #TakeAction #WriteYourRep #boost #HighSpeedRailAlliance #HighSpeedRail #TrainTravel #uspol

I dropped my 17YO granddaughter off at the #Eugene #Amtrak station today for her to return home. When her train rolled in, I was distressed to see such a ragged out, worn, dented, greasy, poor excuse for a train. All the cars and both engines (pusher and puller) looked like they had not been washed since 1983. Having ridden the Frecciarossa fast trains in Italy (300 Km/h) and several sparkling and fast German and French trains, I was embarrassed by the #train the U.S. of A has to offer.
