I'm going to guess that service will restart the day after move in day at most college campuses... Safe travels, - WYB

Looking for suggestion/options on the eastbound CZ Granby -> Denver journey. So according to Amtrak the CZ is typically 41% on time and it's not unusual for the journey from SF to Denver to be significantly delayed. I was wondering if anyone knew of a better option to get back from Granby to...
