We're shaking out with the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill at 10:16AM on 10/16.

During the drill, turn away from the windows towards the aisles, and put your arms over your head for protection. This is what would happen in a real earthquake.

It's #NationalCoffeeDay! If you bring your favorite brew on board, it needs to be in a spill-proof cup with a screw-on lid. So as much as we love this one-of-a-kind tumbler celebrating the start of the Silver Streak, it doesn't have a screw-on lid, so it doesn't go on the bus.
