Ned Levi discusses his recent Amtrak experience during the nor’easter last weekend, and Amtrak serious problems in how it treats its passengers, and its judgment about it’s own ability to quickly repair significant widespread systems and power problems.
Ned Levi relates his experience on Amtrak in last Saturday’s big snowstorm, which when faced with a failed engine still got its passengers to their destination, New York City, in a reasonable amount of time, by quick, decisive action. Amtrak’s actions enabled Ned and his family to salvage their visit to the Big Apple.
People taking photographs of public buildings, bridges and spaces are regularly being confronted and harassed. Amtrak has a record of not welcoming photographers. Ned details Amtrak’s threat to arrest him while taking photos of the auto-train.
