 Paoli pigeons may be banished
Woodman noted that Amtrak and the township had cooperated previously, citing a $9,500 expenditure for the Paoli Rail Yards and Transportation Center Plan - a joint beautification and expansion project for the Paoli Station that is in the conceptual phase.
PAOLI, Pa. -- The gray and green smattering of bird droppings, feathers and shards of eggshell says one thing to those who approach the Amtrak Paoli underpass -- hurry.
The pigeons have free rein of the rafters in the underpass at Route 252 (Bearhill Paoli Road) and Route 30 (Lancaster Avenue).

 The PENNSYLVANIA Pages... Paoli Station
Today, Paoli remains an important Septa commuter stop and a major station for Amtrak in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Paoli Station, located west of Philadelphia, was the original commuter terminus on the old PRR Main Line.
Paoli is argueably the ugliest station on the Main Line, a victim of early 1950’s spartan budgets.

 Grata's Guide: Amtrak fails to stay on schedule
Bob Abraham of Monroeville, vice president of the Keystone Association of Railroad Passengers, an Amtrak advocacy group, passed along a horror story published in the Philadelphia Inquirer about a Delaware County passenger who got to Paoli Station from Pittsburgh at 7 o'clock in the morning instead of 11:30 the previous night.
I checked Monday with the Pittsburgh Amtrak station, where passengers have besieged agents who have no control over the situation and are as anxious as anyone to see the trains run on time.
His Amtrak train got blocked behind a Norfolk Southern freight train that parked on the railroad mainline in Western Pennsylvania, because the crew had worked the maximum hours allowed by federal law.

We understand Amtrak won't allow the use of an existing out- of-service interlocking just east of Parkesburg because its policy is that all short-turn trains must pass beyond their last station before turning.
Amtrak would prefer to follow its legislative charge to operate true intercity trains which for it are more renumerative.
If Amtrak can be persuaded to operate a train or own a line as part of its regular intercity system, all of the operating subsidy will come from Washington as part of Amtrak's annual funding process.

Just beyond the Paoli station on the right side, you will notice a large clearing, where the Paoli Yard used to be.
This station has two side platforms, however the one on the north side of the right-of-way is rarely used.
This station is fully handicapped accessible, with a series of ramps leading to the parking lot, the street below, and the platform on the other side.

The redevelopment, which includes a new train station for Amtrak trains and SEPTA's R5 line, is Chester County's top transportation priority and is expected to include office buildings and retail stores.
Amtrak is expected to request proposals from developers over the next several months.
The plan's centerpiece is a new train station, though it also addresses proposed uses for the railcar-storage yard bordered by Central and Lancaster Avenues.

 DVRPC / Regional Planning / Land Use & Community Planning / Transit-Oriented Development / Newsletter #2
The Paoli Station, located in fast-growing Chester County, is the most heavily used Regional Rail station in Philadelphia’s western suburbs and is one of the few stations beyond Center City to offer intercity Amtrak service.
Because transit stations will serve, in effect, as the "front door" to private development, public amenities and maintenance must be of the highest quality.
At the heart of the station area plan is an intermodal transportation center that would be fully accessible by pedestrians, cars, taxis and vans.

 Destination : Freedom Newsletter - August 30, 2004
Paoli, Pa., might be called an “embarkation line” as Amtrak starts clearing trees and brush away from its Harrisburg line as the railroad starts bringing that former Pennsylvania Railroad line back into “a state of good repair,” which is a refrain heard often these days at Amtrak.
Amtrak noted, “Due to limited bus availability, resulting in part from the transportation requirements of the emergency response agencies continuing work in Florida, inhibitors have been placed on the missed passenger stops between Jacksonville and Kissimmee, Fla. Those stops are: Palatka, Deland, Sanford, Winter Park, Orlando, Kissimmee.
An Amtrak conductor, who is also a Republican candidate for a Missouri House seat, said last Tuesday that he will resign rather than face a company investigation for suggesting to train passengers that they should vote against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

It was retired by Amtrak in 1977 and became a static part of a restaurant in Warwick, RI.
This trip was somewhat unique in that it is a circle trip, meaning except for the origination station, no other location on the route is visited more than once.
The Port Road is now owned by Norfolk Southern (NS), which purchased it in the 1999 breakup of Conrail, the 1976 successor to the Penn-Central Corporation, which was the merged produce of the PRR and the New York Central Railroad in 1968.

 Philadelphia/South Jersey Trip, May 7-13, 1999
The station agent, who is also the CMSL webmaster, recognized me from prior e-mails, and gave me a tour of the station, which originally was at Rio Grande, a couple miles north on the line.
While at the station I met a couple from the UK who were videotaping trains for their grandson back home, who is 5 years old and loves trains.
I arrived at the Cold Spring station, where CMSL's PRR GP9 7000 was parked next to a tower and their RDC (Rail Diesel Car, a self-propelled passenger car built by the Budd Company in the 1950's) M-407 was idling away next to the station.

Amtrak officials said that for more than a year, they haven't had a caretaker to open the station in the middle of the night for the only passenger trains that stop in Gastonia.
Without such access, the station cannot be used as it was originally planned, as a hub for Amtrak and bus service for the city.
Concerned by her experience at the station, Stilley sent the city a suggestion: "A city that is attempting to put on a new face for the future should be concerned with getting its facilities for the visiting public upgraded." Gastonia Mayor Jennie Stultz agreed.
