This is all “train speak” so it may be hard for many people to
decypher. This describes the RRT trip in detail with line numbers and
our Amtrak train numbers. I’d love all of our train geeks on here to
help people understand this better. Another post coming soon that will
detail the trip and our real time tracking map.
