Glenwood has a great local bus system and a very nice RFTA bus that goes up to Aspen. I’d make it a two night layover. I stayed right across the street from the station a few years ago. I was amazed how many folks were in the hot spring fed pool as snow fell at Christmas.

I vote for west bound also if you had to choose just one direction. Both have great scenery. West bound you can sleep through Iowa and Nebraska. I went Christmas week and dawn occurred right as we sat in Denver Station. Fresh snow all up through the mountains. Gorgeous.

Also, I believe 84” is the width of a single residential garage door.

This is the Sanford loading area. Couldn’t find my pic of a truck loading but I saw many full-size work vans packed to the gills being loaded. I’m sure a std F-150 will load even with those huge side mirrors if they swing in or retract.

Say they blew this off and the public found out ten years from now.

Yep. If there is an injury, in say an auto plant, plaintiff’s attorney writes down the name of and the contractors that installed every piece of equipment within two bays of accident site and sues them all. All those companies then have to pay attorneys to defend themselves. Yet all the while...

Amtrak was never gonna get rich off of Biden. All that Amtrak talk was just “Ole Joe from Scranton PA.” campaign rhetoric.

A Superliner Roomette, on a train headed west and a Mitch Rapp novel and I’m good. Sprawled out along side that big window watching the country go by in no hurry to get anywhere is my kind of vacation.

Returning to original thread, I’ll add the Glenwood Springs Station.

Are cement ties preferred for high speed travel? I ask as some portions of west Michigan track Amtrak reaches100 mph.

Right. We can’t have those Canadians crossing our border. ;) They can fly over it but can’t drive or even walk across it. But hey, the southern border is wide open for all to enter. :rolleyes:

So far this is a one-way street. The U.S. has not opened it’s northern border. How does this impact returning U.S. citizens or trains has not been made clear.

Maybe they should consult with the Detroit 3. They have used computers in vehicles for years and the only vehicle I ever had computer issues with was ‘81 K car. No nightly upgrades, yeah you Apple, security patches or just glitches of any kind.

Nothing more uniquely American than the great road trip across country. Our company employed mainy interns from around the world. All were impressed with our highway systems, how far you can drive without showing papers, the wide open midwest plains and mostly the freedom to go anywhere at...

Another factor to be considered is transportation once you get off the train or plane. Particularly considering the odd arrival times of so many trains. If time or cost are close I’d just as soon drive and have my own vehicle at destination. Driving is still my favorite mode of LD travel. Air...

Hotel Denver, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Can’t get much closer. Not a bad place to break up a long ride on the Zephyr. Take public bus up to Aspen or just watch the trains and Colorado River go by.

I just assumed Illinois and close to Union Station. Both states have dominant unions.

I get the feeling this was a temporary or illegal paint storage facility. Any automotive paint shop and paint kitchen has got redundant fire suppression systems. I can’t believe a union in Illinois would accept any less for their worker’s protection.

Perhaps one of the hotels has a shuttle that you can pick you up.

Consider the Dearborn Station as opposed to Detroit. Much safer parking. It’s right in front of the station and in view of Michigan Ave. and there’s a Police Station right up the road. I’ve left my car there for a week with no worries.
