WASHINGTON—A long-running battle between Amtrak and major freight railroads over train delays has entered a new phase of hostilities: fighting about tweets.
Amtrak, the national passenger railroad, has taken to using a Twitter handle, @AmtrakAlerts, to tell riders when trains are delayed, including when they are stuck because of freights.
nuclear94 ... Making 90 mile per hour & the whistle broke into a scream! They find him in the wreck, with his hand upon the throttle, he was scolded to death by steam!'
what would thomas the tank engine do?
This is what you get when your national rail service is constantly being starved of funding by conservative legislators (who nonetheless insist that Amtrak continue to run costly, pointless lines through their districts/states) give Amtrak the money to build their own lines

I'm enjoying this train fight on twitter. I'd suggest that Amtrak build it's own dedicated rail lines if it doesn't like playing second fiddle to the people who own the tracks that it uses.
It's the Train War content I crave, coming down the track.
Looking at those tracks it's amazing anything ever gets where it's going.
That's a' mess looking lines

Watch: CNN's Chris Cuomo destroys Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro—'Latest provocateurs on the Trump train'“They won’t apologize. Stop asking,” Cuomo said. “[Carlson and Pirro] want to press the divide.

U.S. hopes to send more experts to Congo as Ebola outbreak ragesThe CDC hopes to send more experts to Congo in the next few weeks to train personnel in the fight against a raging Ebola outbreak that has already killed nearly 600 people and is far from under control, the CDC director said Thursday.

Trump knows more about everything than everyone. He should go.
