Well I paid the ridiculous ($79! - and I'd thought $50 was too high) priority-unload fee for the southbound trip. I don't think it's worth the price. The trip, however, was nicer than other auto train rides I've taken - the car steward was great and there were Amtrak chocolates in the room. Not...

Is there a best time to arrive for priority? I've paid the exorbitant priority-unload fee for an upcoming southbound trip. I've ridden the auto train twice before, without priority. In both cases I was one of the first to arrive and be loaded and, what was a surprise to me, was one of the last...

I can sign on with Safari (Mac OSX 10.13.6) but then am unable to do anything on their site. I expect it works with a later version. It does work fine with Firefox, however, so that's what I use for FNBO.

I was wondering just what the long-term parking is like in La Junta. I'd like to take the SWC+connection to San Diego and back, with close to three weeks in between. I'm in Colorado Springs and would prefer driving my car to a connecting station rather than riding the bus to Raton. I visited LAJ...
