    Thanks! Just got pictures from Chapel Hill. Impressive!

    Crescent cancelled both ways - snow storm, trees down?

    Just curious. Nothing on TO. Thanks.

    #3(2) parked in Kingman 24 hrs and counting?

    Thanks. And IIRC the manual entry of arr/dep times also explains why so often there's no data for an intermediate station. No one got around to it. So does this mean that the gps data aren't used except on the tracking maps, both Amtrak and the "better tracking map"? Seems like the GPS signal...

    #3(2) parked in Kingman 24 hrs and counting?

    Actually, I should have said it arr. Kingman 24 hrs late and is still sitting there. But OK - JB's Dixieland site archive just takes me back to the same screen I get by clicking on his map, which seems to mean it's not in the archives, i.e. there's no record of it having arrived LAX. No service...

    Coast Starlight and Northern CA fires

    More generally, did this year's horrific NCal fires affect Amtrak at all? (If this should be a separate thread, mods please fix it? Thanks.)

    C Z consist

    Why the seasonal switch on this route and not others? The AU search engine returns a Google error but using Google search I get the following: In summer there's often demand for an additional sleeper, in winter there's often demand for an extra coach (Donner snow so people don't want to drive)...

    PPC Status on Coast Starlight

    The latter when I traveled a few weeks ago. Disappointing.

    Ah... I didn't realize the eastward buses were scheduled.

    Cardinal 51(13)?

    Lost 7+ hrs between CIN and COI and disappeared from the Dixieland site. Didn't see anything on TO but maybe I just missed it. Does Amtrak ever bustitute say IND to Galesburg to catch the CZ?

    Examining "service disruption"

    Also, you can check https://asm.transitdocs.com/ which maps the trains along with their speed and usually provides better info than the Amtrak map. Train Orders is also a very good source of info. The images and vids are behind a pay wall but the postings are open to all.

    Which route(s) do you travel the most?

    I'm counting r/t as 2 times. Live near Albany (the Left Coast one) so CS is likely at top of list (15 times?), NEC (maybe 15?). then EB (PDX branch maybe 8 times, SEA branch 2), then Card ( 10?), CZ (6?), Palmetto (6), SWC (2), SL (3), then several 1 time (Carolinian, LSL, CL, Sea/Van...

    Hurricane Harvey Texas Impacts

    Where did this last set of changes come from? Amtrak service alerts still reads: • Sunset Limited Train 1(25 & 27) will originate in El Paso, with no alternate transportation between New Orleans and El Paso. • Sunset Limited Train 2(25 & 27) will terminate in El Paso, with no alternate...

    Hurricane Harvey Texas Impacts

    Looks like I'll be on the TE going through San Anton late Thursday night, trying to connect to Cardinal in CHI. Any advice from those who live in the area or have traveled through it a lot would be appreciated. And my best wishes for all in Harvey's path.
