    Auto Train information/help requested

    I'm told that the headroom in the bunks on the lower level roomettes is higher than the second floor rooms.

    Route Timetable PDFs returning? (2021-2022)

    In the December issue of Trains Magazine, there is mention of a location on the web for copies of archived Amtrak schedules, many of which are still accurate. Called Juckins.net they have a huge number of schedules. Just in case you missed it.

    Amsnag App

    Any chance now that Amtrak is going back to daily trains that the Amsnag app might start working again? My recollection was that is stopped working about the time Amtrak went tri weekly.

    Marriott food on pre Amtrak Auto Train

    Actual Size of Acela First Overhead 25" Spinner

    Lojack - Auto Train, any issues? Also, Dining and arrival time question...

    Meal times are selected on first to check in, first to select times. So if you arrive at 1 PM and there is a full train, most of the early times may be gone. Also depends on how many seating they offer. Normal is three, but I’ve seen 4 and 2, again depending of the load factor. Call me a worry...
