All Aboard Episode 055: "New Start" Commuter Rail Lines
When most people think of Commuter Trains, they think of the big city systems that were operated by private railroads in days gone by. Today, we talk about two "new start" systems that have evolved, long after commuter rail in big American cities declined._____________________________Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AllThingsTrains

All Aboard Episode 053: Demystifying Locomotive Designations
If you've been around trains for any length of time, you've heard someone mention an "SD45-2" or maybe an "AC60" or even a GG1. If you don't understand all of that, it's ok, we're going to give you some insight into how what locomotive designations mean and how you can get an idea of what you're hearing when you're out on the main line.___________________________Show Bibliography:

Our clapback to Wendover Productions' YouTube Video "The One Tiny Law That Keeps Amtrak Terrible," sure did stir up a hornet's nest! So, Phil responds to viewer comments on his take and discusses everything from Amtrak's truncated Adirondack to why so many people don't understand the purpose of the railroad.
