  • I really hope this happens. In addition to the safety improvements, it could mean the Amtrak becomes viable for long distance travel. My trip from Denver to Seattle was scheduled for 3 days but ended up taking 5. Some of it was caused by snow on the tracks, but the majority of the delays were from the BNSF and UP trains forcing the passenger trains to stop until they passed. Amtrak doesn’t own the rails so they don’t get priority. Just from Sacramento to Seattle there were two to three stops of 1-2 hours each.

    It’s a shame too because the views in some areas were incredible and everything else about traveling by train is a much better experience than flying.


  • Mine is Browns @ Broncos in 2018. It was Baker Mayfield’s first year as a starter and the Browns were still in the playoff hunt in December for the first time in ages. The Browns also hadn’t won in Denver in 30 years. There was a ton of excitement around the team and Browns fans took over the stadium. It came down to a sack on 4th down and when the Browns won the stadium went nuts. I’ll never forget that one.
