Based on their recent troubles, sounds like you’d be better off jumping on a moving freight train and riding the rails like a hobo rather than booking a Southwest flight. billiken_roy 1 Quote

Stu's train to Chicago was delayed by 3+ hours yesterday, always take air over rail. Also, if you do choose to hop a freight train, be careful which car you jump in, hobo gang rape is rampant. Southwest really is not that bad. Quote

Scoop Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Southwest is back to normal. It’s fine. Charlotte airport has a new southwest terminal that’s nice. Went to the game last year and it got pretty chippy with their fans. We got destroyed which didn’t help. We’ve never won there. We’re do. Hit the Brickhouse bar for pregame. Quote

My opinion of Stu just jumped up a couple of notches for taking the train. Quote

White Pelican Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 4 minutes ago, Lord Elrond said: One reason for Amtrak delays is that the freight trains take priority A nitpick. Amtrak is SUPPOSED to have priority over freights. This was in the original law that established it in I think 1970. However, freights have gotten so long (engines front and rear now sometimes) that they don't fit on the sidings in some places, so obviously Amtrak has to move over instead. This is (or was) a bigger problem in Missouri than Illinois. I've taken the train to Chicago and back at least 15 times in the last 20 years or so. The longest delays I ever encountered were maybe 15 or 20 minutes behind schedule. A 3 hour delay on that trip is REALLY unusual. That might have been an equipment malfunction. Quote

There are 20 of us all sitting in one big block, so I hope we're fine. I'll tell my guys to bring their surliest of attitudes, and we'll see what happens. Quote
