Amtrak plans to meet extra demand Jan 20 - 23. Maybe it is becoming more nimble ?
Maybe political correctness Trumps the likely demand.
Pre-inaugural happening

As I recall, a powerhouse in the area also had a great problem. It was posited by some that the departing party was scorching the earth before going?
President-elect Eisenhower on his train from New York to Washington on January 18, 1953, and newly former President Truman soon after.
The hat business must have been good back then.
Remember? It was JFK who almost singlehandedly blighted the hat business with his failure to wear one. (He got the blame from the industry, anyway.) Whatever one thinks of hats – which have been making a modest comeback in recent years – I like them better than the caps that have largely replaced them. (And that so few men have been instructed to remove in public indoors settings such as restaurants, even funeral parlors!)
I commanded that all students remove hats, caps, visors, scarves, etc. in my class. They did.
Ask not what your hat can do for you
Trust wans for the right photos (and other good stuff) at the right time. You’ll notice JFK can’t bring himself to actually put the hat on his head! Or maybe he thought it was more for hand protection, like gloves?
Schlimm, what about your Orthodox Jewish mail students with their yarmulkas? Or did not you have such students?
Somewhere there is a picture of JFK at a ball game wearing a hat. By the way, I wear one every day, a nice black felt one with a button of a beer cask on the band. I can’t believe how warm it makes me in the winter. For example, I live in Canada which I guess youv’e heard can get pretty cold in the winter. I don’t even own a sweater, much less long johns on account I wear a hat. I do take it off in elevators with ladies present.
54light has caught the genius of hats. Most body heat, I’ve read, escapes through the top of the head. Hats put a lid on it.
Yeah, JFK wore the obligatory top hat at his inauguration. I suspect even wans will be up against it finding pics of him wearing hats otherwise.
Wans: I am speechless.
The Reading bulletin schedule was a nice RAILROAD tidbit from 1961. I guess the rest of the thread is lost among hats.
Hey, bro, we go with the flow around here.
ya know, there’s so few pictures of JFK wearing a hat, but there is not a single one of FDR dancing. Must have been a very sad man. [;)]
