There's an issue with the accessible room on tonight's Crescent back to Philly. Amtrak automatically tried to put me in a roomette on the upper level, knowing I travel with a rollator. While I appreciate the efforts of trying to keep me on my reserved train, you can't just put someone on the upper level of a train, knowing they have a mobility device, without asking them first.
tl;dr: I'm in Atlanta an extra day.
You can soon travel to Finland over rail - "Finland gains direct rail link to Europe this summer" https://yle.fi/a/74-20220038 (in english)
The track gauge in Finland is still different to European standard though, so passengers are required to change trains in Haparanda.
Transport Minister Lulu Ranne (Finns) says a long-delayed cross-border train to Sweden should begin rolling this summer, allowing passengers to ride the rails from continental Europe to Finnish Lapland, or overland between the Finnish and Swedish capitals.
#train nerds of Mastodon: I live in France and I'm looking for good apps, websites, or tools to explore #rail travel: timetables, routes, maps, hidden lines, trainspotting, anything really.
What do you actually use and love?

Instead of train to Odense and a replacement bus to hamburg, I'll be doing some breathtaking train-bus-surfing and will arrive in Hamburg a bit before 01, if everything goes well. "Well". Well, anyway, I got to know the Hyllie station pretty thoroughly, and there's a stylish water tower beside it.
Well, it was good idea to leave Malmö a tad early, since there are delays with Öresundståg, the latest being "people running around in the railway area, no idea when they'll stop".
Back in good ol' 525, that doesn't even pretend to reach Copenhagen anymore. I'm happy I didn't schedule the earlier train to Malmö, since Viking Line was some 15 minutes late in Stockholm, and I would have missed it.
But more importantly: my #trainsocks.
