I saw you wanted to visit North Carolina and as a lifetime resident we would be glad to have you. I’m in the Charlotte area and don’t ride the train much at all but I’m sure we have one. Another cool are to visit is the biltmore mansion. It’s very cool to look at all of the nature

I actually have been to North Carolina, I just forgot when making the image. I went to Asheville but not the Biltmore

Stumbled upon this post tumblr.com/amtrak-official/756979579402452992 while looking for a different one and had to do a double take. It is insane to see a blog with amtrak in its name make the same argument that is made against amtrak year after year, namely that "you are … paying a company that can't manage its own finances to stay afloat." Support or oppose tumblrs push to become user-funded for whatever reasons you like, but don't push such obviously misguided arguments.

Amtrak is a federal service, it should have no expectation of profitability, tumblr is a private corporation with no connection to the government. That right there is a massive difference

If you host a panel at dashcon 2 you MUST make it an open discussion, and I will tell you why. So sometimes online it’s like

You: train good. Put more train.

Random person: wow. Way to just fucking hate my grandma that lives in the rural woods, who lost both her legs to a rogue badger attack in 1965, who runs a gas station. Not to mention her parents were murdered by a train. How dare you say you wish she was dead

Now imagine that IN PERSON. It would be magnificent

I would hope the people of Toronto would be more reasonable than the tumblrinas, but I am not sure

if i were to hypothetically go to dachcon 2, i would of course take the amtrak there. could you suggest an optimal route from richmond, virginia to toronto? bonus points if buffalo is along the route so i can go to the fossil dig on my way

Via Buffalo New York is the literal only way, but Northeast Regional to New York then Maple Leaf to Toronto.
