It is ironic that Amtrak would choose a one-passenger train metropolitan area like Atlanta to locate an IT office and then expand it.
Tank cars! Get the LNG and hydrogen based diluents out and return to a safer railway. Keep the unreliable electronic braking away from tank cars and save adding another ignition source. Put the money into producing rail that will take all kinds of North American Weather and everyone will benefit.
“Amtrak’s Crescent service travels twice daily between New York and New Orleans.”
Really?
Paul, great comment. I guess Amtrak bought into the IT hype of having to be in the it crowd to supposedly attract talent.
My family’s home was in Sandy Springs for 35 years. It is a robust suburban city that is now bulging at the seams. In case somebody overlooked it, IT can be performed anywhere. Sandy Springs is ideal for that task. Well connected by transportation and possessing a surplus of available personnel, it’s in the heart of an economic climate that is progressive and upscale. I salute Amtrak for its incredible choice in locating this new operation. Perhaps a byproduct of this will be an incentive to develop more strategic passenger rail connections in the South. Either way, good choice!
Mr. Bose–I think they mean once a day in each direction :-). That way of counting makes sense if you’re trying to see the train (it really does pass any given location twice a day). Not so much if you’re trying to ride the train, though.
