The Amtrak Excursion train arrives in Bluefield West Virginia around 11:15am Saturday 11-07-09. It is the first time passengers have arrived on an Amtrak train in Bluefield since 1997. The city is excited and a street festival is happening. The restaurants are busy and it is a beautiful sunny day.
Gee..Amtrak can run 15 plus cars and three locomotives AND crew for an excursion train yet are unable to supply even minumum service to the Gulf Coast in the form of one locomotive and a couple of Amfleet cars....from New Orleans through Mobile (a major port city) to Jacksonville......leaving the entire area w/o any service what so ever....I am impressed!!!!
