oh, AND GET THIS! NCTD IS ALSO REPLACING THEIR SPRINTER FLEET WITH THE FLIRT TRAINSETS AS WELL! (istg we're about to see chargers and bi level cab cars in freakin railway museums sometime in the future..) i don't even blame her for suddenly breaking down in tears just because of this
i understand amtrak doesnt run on nostalgia. but this still very notably pisses me off.
