Amtrak President David Gunn has been travelling on several LD and short-haul trains around the US for the past week or so, including the Zephyr, Sunset, Crescent, and on the Capitol Corridor. He was able to talk with quite a few passengers and employees, and get their insight on how the system is doing, what needs to be improved, and what is going okay.

I do notice from the picture at the bottom of the story that he was traveling in a deluxe sleeper.

You know what I have noticed? Any time there are officials on board the train, it seems to be much more on schedule than normal. Seems kinda interesting to me.

Thanks, that was a good article. I have a good feeling about President Gunn. He seems to be a no nonsense type of man!

Soerry. Just trying to make a colourful post or two. Mr. Gunn has made references to his home in Nova Scotia in various speeches to Congress. I just hope we don't go wacky on the advertising.
Amtrak. It's a great ride. Eh?
