All Aboard Episode 051: Time for a Clapback-Debunking the Freight Preference Hoax
The All Aboard Podcast by All Things Trains
06/06/24 • 76 min
Many rail passenger advocates believe that passenger trains are unfairly hurt by freight train interference and that freight railroad executives privately sit around looking for ways to hurt passenger trains. YouTube channel Wendover Productions put out a particularly objectionable video, "The One Tiny Law That Keeps Amtrak Terrible (The One Tiny Law That Keeps Amtrak Terrible - YouTube), which we will examine and point out everything it--and passenger advocates--get wrong about freight trains and passenger trains sharing tracks. As always, thanks to all of our fellow #RobberBarons out there, and as always, Stop, Look, & Listen! _______________________ Show Bibliography:

The All Aboard Podcast by All Things Trains
06/11/24 • 48 min
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.
As always, Stop, Look, and Listen!

All Aboard Episode 053: Demystifying Locomotive Designations
The All Aboard Podcast by All Things Trains
06/13/24 • 48 min
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.

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.
