Today I noticed (and purchased) tamales on the Surfliner Menu. They are 4 dollars per tamale, and are microwaved. They aren't bad. Authentically made, but the flavor is a bit lost with the microwaving. Are they exclusive to Surfliner? Or the West Coast? The cafe car attendant told me they are...

Hey friends! I am trying to see if it's possible to book Chicago-LA via the Texas Eagle. Just to see if it was possible, I suppose. Maybe a future trip if I can save some money and have the time. Whenever I try booking it, it never gives me the option. Only gives me the option to take the...

Lake Shore Limited's buisness class was completely empty this morning at Toledo. When I went, it was me and 1 other person between Chicago and Toledo. To quote an employee: "It's a waste of time, money, and space" So, how do you think this will go over? There were probably over 100 people...

Amtrak's Ocean View is in the Chicago Yard per sources and photographs.

It's been awhile since I went - January, in fact, but I've decided to post about my adventure to New York City to the OTOL NYC Railfest. (this happened in the past - I'd just rather not dump all the info at once) Obviously, there are parts that I have totally forgotten. I apologize, I haven't...
