I appreciate the schedule. I didn't know Batavia was a stop at one time, with it's one westbound yet no eastbound departure. It's interesting that Albany is the listed without a Rensselaer reference. The schedule is January 1968, and wiki says 1968 is the year that Rensselaer opened...

Looks like it. That is an interesting picture with the train number as opposed to what amtrak track-your-train shows. What is that url?

A friend on the train 91 says they struck a car trying to beat the crossing outside DeLand FL. Their first train trip. Other than saying I'm sorry and these things happen from time to time to express some empathy. I'm really not sure what the odds are of something like this to put it...

Thank you for that information.

I have a 2 hour layover in Chicago where I would like to quickly find the location to store baggage. I cannot find the location on the below url. https://chicagounionstation.com/information/station-map 1. I am not on long distance trains. Using the Wolverine and Hiawatha. In the past I've...

Thanks, that is the help I was looking for.

I'm looking at google maps. It would seem that for the Westbound Pennsylvanian (train 43), the side of the train you want to be on is the left, in order to see the reserviors / views. My question is how long from when the train leaves Altoona station does the train start to make the...

With coupons that have some exclusions like applicable rail fare must be paid and offer is subject to availability, I'm always skeptical as to what is the probability that I can use the coupon when I want. Since I was a little unsure of the terminology of "full fare" so I called AGR...

Thanks, that link was what I was looking for. Besides not finding that link before I posted, I'm not sure how I missed the topic being that it still had a comment a month ago. Thanks again for posting it. Next topic of interest, although not as important as food, looking to see if...

On an upcoming trip using the old zone 2 bedroom award, where I will take three trains I can't determine exactly what meals will be offered. If anyone rode these trains and can let me know, it would be appreciated. Silver Metor Northbound: Leaving Miami 8:10a. Arriving NYP 11A. Does...

When the rails to trails program is running, can you hear narrative in the bedroom cars? If so, is there a radio or something in the bedroom you need to do/operator in order to hear it, or is it only audible from lounge car or all or select coach cars. Could this vary by train? Could...

Going way back to the original pricing chart, thanks for that work. It has been helpful in gauging what routes to chose on a two zone trip before the AGR change versus hoping to get a low bucket price in the future.

Definitely hitching a ride. Interesting that one was after engine and then two after coach. If I were only in DC union station to watch it come in.

The Silver meteor arrived in newark nj about 450p with a few extra cars. After acs64 engine, had department of transportation car. After coach were two cars that I couldn't make out as rr was picking up speed. One looked like a parlor car, but the other....hmm, this car had a huge tv monitor...

Reading through the posts, I'm trying to understand what to expect should I board the CONO today. 1. There is no chef on all trains northbound and southbound? 2. Does no chef mean there is no dinning car? 3. Does no chef mean there is no dinning menu service? 4. Would No dinning car...
