It is amazing how a simple question turned into a five pages of postings. As I was reading through the posts,I thought some of the responses were a bit condescending. I learned in life a soft word turns away wrath. There are times I want to post questions in the forum,but I am afraid to...

I am planning a trip from Gainesville,GA to Hattiesburg,MS on October 28th,with a return on the 30th. How safe will it be to leave my car parked at the Gainesville Amtrak station ?

On September 22nd,marks the 14 year anniversary of one of Amtrak's worst accidents. As many folks know on that day,the east bound Sunset Limited (2) derailed at Big Bayou Canot and went into the water. On September 22nd,lets take time to remember the victims,as well as being thankful for those...

I was wondering if there is a website(s) where I can look at Amtrak timetables from the mid to late 80's,early 90's. Any insight is appreciated

What happens with passengers hoping to connect with 20 on this late Sunset,if it gets into New Orleans after the Crescent departs?

I will be taking Amtrak from Greensboro,NC to Houston Texas in July. Part of the trip requires that I spend a night in New Orleans going to and coming from Houston. I know there will be cabs waiting at the station in New Orleans. Can anyone tell me who is the best cab company to deal with in...

I noticed today the east bound Sunset Limited is going to be 7 and half hours late getting into New Orleans. I wonder if UP is to blame for this or if there was another factor involved.

I went back to look,now that you mention it,Katrina was not mentioned specifically

I got it at the Greensboro Amtrak Station

Yesterday,I got a copy of Amtrak's 2007 Spring Timetable. On the page with the Sunset Limited timetable,it displayed the stops east of New Orleans with the notation about damage from Katrina. If Amtrak plans to kill the eastern portion of the Sunset,why even have the eastern stops listed along...

Saxman,when are you planning to go to Houston? I am thinking about going from Greensboro to Houston round trip in July this year. Last time I checked the round trip for the days I was considering was 320$. The one thing I hate about this trip is trying to cordinate with a train that runs...

I heard this on Sunset Limited group that I am a member of on Yahoo

Did anybody hear that Amtrak is supposed to decide next month what to do about the Sunset east of New Orleans?

I am planning a trip on the Sunset Limited later on this summer. What is the fare offered on the breakfast,lunch ,and dinner menu's?

With no Sunset,east of New Orleans,how is the on time preformance of the LA to New Orleans Sunset? Would it be feasible to make the Sunset a daily train since Amtrak seems to just want to run it from New Orleans-Los Angeles? My last question is,if Katrina hadn't of happen,would Amtrak have...

Did Amtrak ever use the PS32-8's on the Crescent or the Silver Trains?

For me it is not so much that I am afraid of flying,its just that people at airports and on the plane are non conversational. At a train station,and on the train people are much more conversational. I guess because they know a train can only go so fast and makes so many stops. The most fun...

Sometimes I like to go on Amtrak.com and check the on time status of trains #19 and 20. Today I checked for the status of 19 into Anniston,Alabama and the site said something about the train not running there today. I was curious as to whether they were doing any trackwork on that portion of...

I remember hearing of an Amtrak train called the Gulf Breeze. I know it was terminated in 1995. Was it a Amtrak budget cut? Also,where did it split off from the Crescent at? Did it make a good connection for the Sunset Limited in Mobile. If anyone can answer my questions,I'd be most...

Since Amtrak doesnt seem interested in sending the Sunset east of New Orleans again, I wonder if they would consider making the New Orleans-LA Sunset a daily train instead of tri-weekly. Also would they consider a separate train to run daily from Orlando to New Orleans.
