I haven't experienced Train Legs" until my most recent trip on the Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle. It took a few hours to return to normal. My first long distance ride was from Elko to Pittsburgh in 2008. I had no problem then. I've been on several trips since 2008 The Crescent and...

Thanks

Can someone tell me where our location will be given this information: Train 14 leaving ****. Superliner Roomette | Car 1431 - Room 014 Will we be in the middle or end? Thanks MODERATOR NOTE: Edited for privacy

We want to take a trip on the Starlight. Is the scenery better going from south to north or the other way around. I am trying to determine the best viewing time along the coast.(I’m glad everyone understood my meaning, obviously the scenery is the same either way it’s just darker one way!)

Thanks I have a better idea now!

I rode the Adirondack from Montreal to New York's Penn Station last week (one week before the leaves changed they say). Can someone tell me the route the train follows once it reaches Manhattan? If you can refer to a map that would be appreciated. By the time we reached Yonkers it was dark so I...

Thanks Scott

Much Thanks, I'll be on the look out for it! scott

Are there any maps available on the web that accurately depict the routes. I'm trying to trace the route from Pittsburgh, PA to Washington D.C. I know the route follows the river valleys for the most part but I seem to get lost around Meyersdale, PA. Anybody have a suggestion on how to do this...

Thanks, by the way they all seemed to have unique horns to match each vehicle, and the operators looked as if they were having a great time.

In 2008 my wife and I took the California Zephyr from Elko, Nevada and continued home to Pittsburgh via the Capitol Limited. W boarded the CZ at 9 PM and after a quick walk through we returned to our roomette. Both of us have not been on a train since at least 50 years ago and did not really...

If you can get a cab, go out Liberty Avenue to Bloomfield there are many places on both sides of the street. Here are some:Del's Bar & Restaurant 4428 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA,Lombardozzi Restaurant 4786 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, Church Brew Works & Restaurant 3525 Liberty Ave...

Given the fact that I was trying to enjoy the ride I wasn't concerned with the picture quality. If memory serves me correctly, my roomette was on the opposite side of the train anyway, someday I'll invest in some filters too!

I posted some of the photos of the ride between Salt Lake City and Denver on Photobucket. Since I'm just getting a handle on how Photobucket works, bear with me. As far as I'm concerned this ride is a must, someday I want to take it in the winter. SDUnger/2008 trip on the California Zephyr
