3. Ticket Kiosk Ticket Vending Machines
**********************************************************************
Some of you may have noticed that Amtrak has begun the replacement of
the existing Ticket Kiosk ticket vending machines (TVMs) with newer,
modern machines at staffed stations. In addition to these
replacements, the CCJPA is funding the addition of these new TVMs at
all unstaffed station to ensure that each station has a ticket outlet.
The installation of these TVMs is expected to be completed by
mid-July.

home. The Bay Breeze has breathtaking views, and on board historian,
