A great Viking. And one of the places he tried was Bosham. But he soon learned it was futile. lol.

You mention the number 1 twice. Here is one of the sentences. "The 421 sleeper and coach are switched off and added to 1". What is 1, is that a train?

Somebody please explain how the TE switches with the SL in San Antonio. When the TE arrives, do we have to get off? When the SL arrives, do they have to get off? Or do they just move cars from one train to another? Then what happens to the engines they don't use anymore? Or does the whole...

I think I heard the answer before, but forgot. Why do some call it the Texas Eaglete as opposed to Eagle?

Yes. I remember reading your Prime Directive before. All my mind saw was the price difference......of the train. But in the end, I made the right choice.

Train trip is for a vacation in LA. I'm staying on the SWC, since its already booked. I read on this forum a while back, someone said that paying $2000 for a train trip is too much. They said I would be better off flying first class. It just got me thinking. The price for CHI-LAX was $2138...

I would like opinions on What Would You Do? Planning a trip from CHI to LAX for 2 seniors in a bedroom. These choices are barring no interruptions or delays. First option is, we already booked the SWC for $1955, to arrive 43 hours later. The last 8 hours is overnight while sleeping. Second...

If Im on the TE on a Tuesday out of CHI on my way to ELP, will I have to leave my bedroom / car and transfer to the Sunset at San Antonio?

What happens to the folks on the 2 trains? Are they on there own or will Amtrak put them up until the next trains come thru?

Cal. All this info is very interesting. Please, can you tell me where, and how you found all this? I want to understand why the SWC has some late trains. I have a trip coming up on it and would like to monitor it's schedules. Even though I've been told that it could be on time for weeks...

I changed to another cruise, 2 days later than my SWC arrival. That should give us less to worry about. We will just spend 2 days in LA.

The SWC departing on time from CHI has me concerned. Today's train still has not left the station and its 5pm EST. I will have to continue to watch and see what gives. I may have to change my train date to arrive in LA because I thought since getting there in the morning, I would have no...

SWC left CHI 2 hours late yesterday July 7th, according to transit docs. At the moment of this writing, its in Lamar 2 hours 27 late. Is there a way for me to find out why? I have a SWC booked in the future and want to follow the lateness in its schedule, but I need to find out how. That way...

Thanks.

You are good. One day, maybe, I will figure out how you do that. To know what the rest of the bedrooms will cost. I will just keep reading all the posts on this forum and continue learning.

I know, but we are retired, and we have saved every month for years for all our vacations, it adds up. So, the cost is not a problem and I like riding the train. Plus, I saved $500 because I was gonna get it at $2448, but I waited, and the SWC is the only LD train we have not travelled on...

I dont know what happened, but Im glad it happened. That SWC that I have been watching dropped to $1955 for a bedroom for my April 15, 2025, date. I guess it is a lower bucket, but whatever its called, I jumped on it with the quickness. I got so happy when I saw the price. I got car 330...

Am I reading all this right? I can now combine points with cash to buy tickets? I have been asking them for a few years why I cant mix cash with points.

Thanks. Is there a reason?

Yea, I was looking at NYP- MIAMI.
