Sorry, don't miss Amtrak at all, 90's or otherwise. I miss the real railroad passenger trains run before Amtrak took over. Wish the real RR's would bring back passenger service, but I guess that's gone forever.

I couldn't agree more.

Sorry, don't miss Amtrak at all, 90's or otherwise. I miss the real railroad passenger trains run before Amtrak took over. If there's anything I miss about Amtrak, it's when they were still running E units on their trains. Wish the real RR's would bring back passenger service, but I guess that's gone forever.

Boy, I miss Amtrak in the nineties.
What we have now is a better product: equipment is kept up better, crews are nicer, we have a website to make information easier.
But there were more trains then and they were longer and the dinning cars had real food.

Not to mention, a better paint scheme with Phase III (though I have a soft spot for IV.)

Speaking of Phase III, here are a couple of Pepsi-Cans departing LA Union Station. Circa 1996
