I rode the Canadian first time Tor-Van in December '24 after buying tickets on sale about early November. This could possibly be our best trip ever and we've taken a lot of rail trips. We had cabin for 2 and there was about 40 sleeper passengers and about 13 coach passengers. 4-5 sleepers...

One of the most enjoyable cars I have had the pleasure to ride in with the previous owner

I am really happy to have, appreciate and refer often to the Fare bucket list that niemi24s puts on here and the California Zephyr fare chart he did for April and May of '24 is great but the work to do this must be very time consuming for him. (Thank You) There is really no excuse a huge...

Not many lockers remain anywhere since 9-11. All of them I can think of were removed which is probably wise.

There is plenty of room in F for two carry ons and is what my wife and I used on December 6th departure in F. I personally think two carry ons in other cabins for 2 would be a bit tight.

Makes me wonder if any authorities at Amtrak ever did a fare search on Amsnag when it was operating and discovered a snafu like this and then had it corrected. A shame Amtrak can't hire an IT person to bring their website up to the 21st century.

Very good recommendation, I just returned and multiple times I wished I had taken a map to refer to while traversing the country.

I too am of the opinion if budget and time allows spend 1 day in the LA area or catch Pacific Surfliner down to San Diego and spend a relaxed day. Then catch the Coast Starlight the next day.

Very informative, in regards to all type rooms. Easier to comprehend this aspect of different rooms with your pictures

I don't think the majority of the traveling public would agree with Amtrak being affordable. I thoroughly enjoy riding but it is not feasible to ride from midwest to either coast for purely transportation when the roomette prices are typically way over $1000 per room. A high priced airfare would...

I believe the only way to predict Viewliner I or II is contact Amtrak Resvations and ask how many rooms your car has 12 Roomettes = Viewliner I and 11 Roomettes = Viewliner II. Snacks and drinks are kind of personal preference items but you can have adult beverages as long as they're consumed...

Not odd at all, there are a lot of us. who find that extremely relaxing, people just may not notice since we tend to keep to ourselves

My wife seems to enjoy it, she would spend more time riding on the open platform on the rear of the train than anyone else in the car back in the days when it was still allowed. Nothing like the scent of brake smoke to spice up an evening! lol

I appreciate the work you put into this Thank You

With so few sleepers being operated it doesn't take many riders to fill all the rooms

Happens everyday especially at smaller stations out west, in fact i would estimate that 70% of the hoardings I've made at rural stations it would be 10 to 30 minutes before my ticket was actually scanned

I gave up searching Amtrak for trips because its too tedious so am interested in anything new for searches. Just did a few different searches of 4 to 6 calendar dates for sleeper fares and although not real quick it did provide results in a few minutes. Easy to read, Station codes not automatic...

Also there September 26 no vaccination record required then

I've only had ID checked one time about 8 years ago which was on a NE regional train

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your trip no matter which train you chose.
