Via Rail Strike - Amtrak in the Dark

[kevin_standlee]

As I rather expected, the agents at Amtrak have no idea whether the strike of Via Rail Canada's locomotive engineers, if it happens, will affect service on the Adirondack. The same union represents the engineers to both companies, but the Amtrak agent said it's an Amtrak crew that operates the train clear through to Montreal. Whether the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers would oblige their Amtrak-contract members to honor the strike on Canadian lines is still apparently up in the air.

It does seem likely. I'll post them if I take them.

OTOH, I'm in such deep water now that I've not been able to post any of the Westercon material, which is annoying because it means there is a good chance I'll never post it now.

Thanks. I mean going through and putting captions on all of the photos. Actually uploading them to Flickr without comment wouldn't take that long, and I might just do that and let it go.
