Just tried it, either it has a new web address, or it's not online anymore. Either way, I can't find it anymore. I had it book marked and have used it for a long time, until now.

I'm booked on the LSL in September. What are the chances of a new sleeper or diner on that train??

Amsnag doesn't work anymore. I think they took the site down.

I'm going thru Chicago on June 5, hope the new lounge is open by then!!

I'm coming into LAX on the Coast Starlight and leave the next morning on the Texas Eagle. Anyone have a suggestion on a hotel for the night? I've not been to the LAX train station, I understand it's not in the best area.

I know all about amsnag, use it all the time. In this example, the fares were just slightly different over a several day span so it didn't make much difference from a price perspective.

I really like the lower level, mainly because there are very few people walking by and I also like being closer to the ground to watch things go by. I know many prefer the upper level, I guess I'm strange. Anyway, It's not a deal breaker being upstairs, but I was able to shift my trip just a...
