On 5/4/19 the arriving 22 into Chicago was 6:45pm almost 5 hours late. Those transferring to trains going east would have missed connections to Cardinal #50 that left at 5:45pm and the Capital Limited #30 that departed at 6:40pm. Doesn’t appear that neither train was held up for connecting...

Did Amtrak put in the same amount of infrastructure in Roanoke (car cleaning facilities and storage tracks (3)) as they did in Lynchburg? I know they put a nice raised and covered platform for the passengers. They need to do the same in Lynchburg.

When leaving Roanoke it will take the old N&W east over the Blue Ridge thru Bedford & Bedford County. When arriving in Lynchburg it will switch over to the old Southern Railroad tracks. This is accomplished by the double wye between the Woodall yard and Mountview yard. It will continue north...

Went to Reagan Library by Southwest Chief and Surfliner. There is bus line that goes by Semi Valley station. I can't remember if we had to transfer to different bus route or not. Bus will drop you off right in front of library and pick you up. I think it is on a half hour schedule.

Since you will be arriving a day before the fifteenth anniversary of 9-11, you may experience a greater amount of airport security action. I would not risk it, stay an extra night in Chicago.

Charlottesville,VA has two platforms. Cardinal uses the East/West platform (CSX) and the Crescent & NER uses the North/South platform (NS). Station is in Northeast corner of diamond.

Thanks to eerie rail, and the ladies, I will use the link provided to get educated.

We will be in Albuquerque NM not Denver. The tram is to the top of Sandia Peak.

My wife and I will be taking the Cardinal from CVS to CUS in a couple of weeks. We will then board the Southwest Chief to ABQ. We will be sightseeing the area and then returning on the same route. Any suggestions for rental cars in ABQ? Any local tours to the Tram?

I was in a bedroom in car 2230 on the TE/22 northbound from SAS to CHI. Do they have a revenue sleeper added on days the 422 doesn't run?

Texas eagle to LAX only three days a week. Daily to SAS.

Looks like there are a lot of people on here with knowledge about ABQ. I have a couple of questions: Is the Hotel Albuquerque a good place to stay? Any other suggestions. How can I get to the Tram from Old Town or Intermodel Center?
