Alright guys please Amtrak is not spelled with a c ever... It's Amtrak! Not Amtrack... Even Google trys to fix it for you!!!

Spelt is a kind of fish. Spelled is the past preterite tense of to spell.

We sure got off topic quickly, didn't we? LOL.

HAHA! Now I look like the illiterate one... No, but seriously I don't get how you can spell Amtrak wrong! Google's spell check fixes it for you! The reason I say this is because it's wrong on the database and I've seen it misspelled on other places too.

Thanks for someone FINALLY saying it.

How could anyone misspell Amtrak without a spell checker?
It's been our national passenger rail service for nearly half a century.

Now if some of the geniuses could just understand
the difference between LOSE and LOOSE...

Ugh guys its about the railroad not spelling.

Hopefully YOU have made a DB submission to CORRECT the spelling. Otherwise a RANT on the boards, will never get it fixed

Can we just refer to it as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation instead?

Amtrak is only a d/b/a

Care to narrow it down some? Rail buff is all encompassing, I've been around trains all my life but my main interest now is rail scanning in Metro NY/NJ/CT & South Florida, anything PennCentral in the old Atlantic, Metropolitan & Northeast regions & Amtrak NEC virtual engineering (Just another frustrated Casey Jones at heart)

Somebody call hulcher... This thread's derailed all over the place.

And the proper term is "Amtrash", or "The reason I've been sitting in the hole for 5 hours".

"Spelt" is the British way of saying it. "Spelled" is the US word. Two peoples separated by a common language...

Actually it was called Amwreck years ago when it sucked for timely stops, maintenance and crappy service.
