here's a better picture, you can get close to Vegas by train currently and you can book the whole trip thru Amtrak, but the last little bit won't be by train. Not trying to discourage you but I wouldn't want you to be disappointed either. Perhaps someone here who has made this connection can...

Welcome to AU. How are you doing the last leg to Vegas since there is no passenger rail service currently?

There have been many proposals over the years to (re)establish service to the parts of Iowa where the people actually live, maybe this is a sign it might actually happen. Half full people.

It's a different project and many things have changed, but I'll let someone more knowledgeable answer in detail.

When the Heartland Flyer gets extended so it connects with something, hopefully it will support larger consists.

The light rail connection to the train station from the airport isn't bad, but it's an iffy neighborhood. PDX is a better airport than most, but I still hate flying.

I usually drive this way several times per year, and have for decades. it never gets old.

Welcome to AU, I'm lucky enough to live in a city with decent Amtrak service. Looks like Jefferson City is your closest Amtrak station, right?

A seat being filled to MLK doesn't prevent it being sold north of MLK, or am I not understanding this? And no brats is a crime, I'd like pork fritters too but maybe the're waving that for an Iowa train?

My 2 cents is that with the current carry-on allowances being greater for sleepers on Amtrak than VIA, I'm not sure if I'm ever going to take it all the way from Toronto to Vancouver or vice versa. I have medical issues that mean I needed every bit of Amtrak's generous in cabin luggage...

I just checked for 5/29 and the Borealis came in at $41 for coach and the EB at $77, business on the Borealis was $98, but as bookings increase this will no doubt change.

My wife's on the Rose Fest Board, I'll have to ask if she knows.

In the '70s when there was a train or two per day, and I took it several times per year, I remember the station as being fairly busy. I don't remember ever being late or even cutting it close, but I have recurrent nightmares about missing that darn train, still after all these decades.

We've discussed this previously, but to recap - the train is just barely stopping 'in Saskatoon' now. When the freight yards were removed from the middle of town in the mid-60s the passenger service went with them to Chappel Yards on the very SW edge of town. If anything, street changes and...

When I travel LD, I'd prefer to have some familiar Amtrak favorites and some refreshed and/or regional novelty. Next time I go I'll look for the TD steak and the French toast, both of which I enjoyed last time. But everything I had from the traditional dining menu was at least good and even...
