Seat maps for the next gen Acela seem to be showing up in the Amtrak app now. One of my trips just got changed to a 9 car train

Didn't end up posting during the trip but I figured I'd post a thread of interesting train highlights from 2 weeks of traveling around Europe on a Eurail pass with @seriousprotectn.bsky.social
Map of train travel from the Interrail/Eurail app. Shows a trip beginning in Frankfurt, then from Prague to Vienna with day trips to Bratislava and Budapest, then on to Munich, St. Moritz, and Zurich

Swiss deciding to highlight maritime disasters on their inflight map on a transatlantic flight is an interesting decision (USS Thresher pictured, a nuclear submarine implosion that led to the introduction of the Navy subsafe program)

Last @wmata.com trip for two weeks, easy ride out to IAD on the silver line. Time to see how many trains you can take on a 2 week Eurail pass.

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration. Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

My 2024 @wmata.com rewind. Aiming for 400 trips and 4,000+ miles this upcoming year.
My metro statistics for the year, top 3% ridership, 354 trips taken, 3,927 miles traveled, 1210 kg of CO2 offset, 35 stations visited, and "The Explorer" archetype
