Amtrak doesn't wait. They are given top priority. The only thing keeping them from being on time is their own folly or things common and unavoidable for all rail traffic (broken rails, snow, washouts, derailments, other accidents, etc.)
Amtrak is given highest priority now, followed by intermodal (UPS, FedEX and ship containers), followed by all other freight.
Yes, I work with the railroad. All the livelong day.
There are some facts to consider here.
Right now, freight trains are being inconvenienced because Amtrak trains are given TOP priority where they run on freight rails. The freight trains are put on sidings sometimes for hours for fear that Amtrak will be held up at all by freight traffic. Any train cannot run at high speed on existing freight rails because the best of them usually top out at 75 MPH while many in service, even those used all the time, might have slow orders for 40, 25 or even 10 MPH. Broken rails and derailments are common, especially in cold weather. Section crews have plenty to keep them busy just keeping the existing lines and spurs in service for freight use.
Carriers bow to Amtrak wishes now, and it costs them dearly.
If you study the Great Depression, the two main things done to make it worse and longer were to raise taxes on higher-income people and raise tariffs on foreign goods. While either of those things could reasonably be done under other circumstances, at the time they killed the kind of economic activity the country needed.
Probably because that generation of solar panels sucked, efficiency-wise, and IIRC several models also lost a large percent of their functionality after a few years.
Repeat this for every generation of panels referencing the previous generation, and we all know efficient solar panels will be here Very Soon Now.
Speaking in general terms and not your specific situation, yields on corn here in the north central US today are at levels that ten years ago would have been considered unreachable and complete fantasy. Research here continues to do amazing things in relatively brief periods of time.
of a guy who was making and selling intentionally offensive/controversial items (Jesus dildos and the like) why he didn't have a dildo in Mohammed's likeness. He said that he was a coward because he didn't want to die, and making Christians mad was OK because they wouldn't walk up and stab him in the chest.
I infer from that that those who enjoy christian-bashing would quit if the christians started being equally forgiving as followers of Islam are.
You don't understand the reason for that. The problem was that the South didn't treat slaves as people except to count as population for representation purposes. By using the 3/5ths rule, the North lowered the representation the South had in congress.

Or something.
I'll stop now.
All right, bachelor.
This makes it a batchelor iPad.

What's more natural than producing AC in DC?
They should have installed wind towers instead, with all the hot air originating in DC!

The 6 part. I was never good at math.

May you find a mouse head in your cole slaw.
Thanks, I wondered why when people talk about Lost I think of 'number two'. Nyuk nyuk.
Hatch who?
Oh, I remember now...

Purple pokeberries produce prodigous power. It's a natural.
If only it were illegal NOW to BE a dick in this state...
I hear if you buy bulgar at Whole Foods you get a Ralph Nader action figure.
My father threatened to do this more than once...
