This is the open topic for submitting all 2015 Amtrak Mileage Tally trips. Submit your trips as replies in this topic.

Please provide:

- the date of the start of travel for each train or Thruway bus;
- the train number (or train name if just one train of that name a day), and;
- and your starting and ending points (station code or station name).

If this is your first time posting to the Mileage Tally, please provide your actual name in the posting or by PM to me. Your name will not be posted. I'll post back your confirmed mileage and your standing among the participants.

Bill, you may have to adjust my mileage. A container train hit a bridge and all traffic was stopped.. 382 backed up to Lagrange road and busses were called. I opted for uber. Since I didn't ride the last 14 miles on Amtrak I maybe shouldn't get those miles.

You're good. I'll consider it like a bustitution - except you chose to take Uber. Somebody is going to be in a heap of trouble over dispatching a train that was too tall for the assigned track.

That us true. Amtrak and Bnsf handled this pretty well. We only sat for 45 minutes before a decision was made.
