This train is a joke. It uses two locomotives and 5 passenger cars to move 5 people over 59 miles? That is massive energy over-consumption. If you take the weight of the locomotives and cars without passengers, it is about 650 tons total. Carrying 5 people, that is 130 tons per passenger. A Toyota Camry with just a driver is 1.6 tons per passenger. A Boeing 737 fully loaded with 220 passengers is .3 tons per passenger.
Many thanks for sharing 😊
Seems to me that Geyhound should move to Albany-Rennsalaer? I also remember when Greyhound Stations had Coffee Shops!
Hmmm. Interesting. I’ve taken this route many times and it’s never been as empty as it was in this video.
I think a stop at cCraham would make this a year round service?
This is why this train only runs in the summer I think?
They got 5 people to pay for what would otherwise be a deadhead run. Not bad.
@13:49 that was a plot twist
