Good God, Let's do let SW Airlines run Amtrak - then your knees will be in the seat in front of you, you'll have to listen to inane announcements, and the only food will be peanuts. Come on!!! Amtrak is underfunded and does miracles with the $$$'s they do get and the P42's are aging. From what I was told the on board crews did a great job of communicating with the customers and letting them know what was happening and we're astounded themselves since nothing like this has ever happened where not only both locos go down but the HEP as well so no electricity, heat, or plumbing. I have heard nothing about fumes so sounds like a fabrication from somewhere. Customers will be refunded and given certificates for future travel.
