This is a fun question. I have ridden both numerous times and weather can play a factor - so time of year is an issue. I also love the idea of doing both but, if that's not possible, how long do you plan on staying in your destination? I love Seattle and Los Angeles but, well, New Orleans...that...

I recently had a flight delayed by 2 hours at LAX due to an unruly passenger incident. It was the start of the day and so created a snowball effect - literally hundreds of passengers were impacted and, according to our flight attendant, there were 69 missed connections on our flight alone. I...
Love this. Thanks for checking out the website. Allensworth is wonderful - I love it so much I have even become a "Friend of Allensworth". I love how quiet it is except for the train!
As a solo traveler on the Starlight, Empire Builder and Lake Shore Limited in the last 10 days I can report that there has been no communal seating for dining on any of those trains. Is that a policy or crew decision? Dunno
and perhaps you‘ve seen the weather in Cooperstown and Utica?
yikes- left Utica yesterday and changed trains - whoever thought I’d be so happy to be in Poughkeepsie?
Well, it’s been an adventure so far - just missed the trestle fire on the starlight - went through the blizzard on the empire builder (see there’s a service disruption on the 27 and 28 again for today and tomorrow). Whew! On my way to upstate New York tonight…
Thanks for the positive vibes! Indeed, I am solo. My wife is still working and doesn't love trains quite as much as her old man. She does want to ride the California Zephyr when she retires in two years so I'll wait for her to do that. This trip is mostly in roomettes. I am a bit older (ahem)...
Early Monday morning I will start a 3 week, 7 train, cross country trip. I will take the Coast Starlight from Fullerton, CA to Portland and visit family. From there I'll get on the Empire Builder to Chicago. From Chicago - the Lake Shore Limited to Utica. I will rent a car and spend 2 days in...
Here’s the latest: In looking at my tickets today I saw that I was now booked in 3 roomettes (?) and my SWC train had been canceled again - red letters across the reservation and no QR code.
I call again (only 35 minutes on hold) and they again say it’s wrong and send me a new ticket.

Please...
