[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] Of course Amtrak keeps track of where it's trains are and when.  Every railroad does.  They use a new fangled gadget that a guy named Marconi invented. [/quote] Presumably by new fangled gadget you mean a wireless radio.  If Amtrak uses radio-telephones or cell phones, it means that a crew member or a station agent has to call the operations center and let them know how the train is progressing, whereas with GPS the information would be available in a nano-second.   Anyone know whether Amtrak's locomotives are equipped with GPS capability?
