Worked ok for me just now. Firefox 57, Win 7 32 bit.

GeorgeK, based on your description, you had a refurb'd S-1. Curved & paneled storage doors, push-knobs on the faucet are the key. The pic posted by fixj is of a non-refurb S-1. The closet by the door identifies it as S-1. I've been in all the bedrooms, both refurb & non, so I know the...

I have taken 7 trips with them, and have #8 booked for September. Guess they must be doing something right !!!! The only disruption I've experienced was in 2013 when the Zephyr did not run between Denver & Salt Lake City due to track washouts from flooding in Colorado, but it was known about &...

It was available at the gift shop at the Grand Junction station last time I was there (in 2012). $13.00 for each of the 3 volumes (Chicago to Denver, Denver to SLC, SLC to San Francisco). Order form included this address: Flashing Yellow Guidebooks, P.O. Box 3533, Evergreen CO 80437

I just got off the phone with Amtrak. The plan for today, and the next few (several?) days, is: #5 will turn at Denver (to become #6), and #6 will turn at Grand Junction (to become #5), with bustitution between Denver & Grand Junction. All subject to change at any time, of course.

I used Yellow cab for my westbound SLC arrival last July. Called them a day or 2 ahead of time, then called again enroute with an ETA, and again about 5 minutes before arrival. They were there when I got off the train. I'd use them again.

This is actually the north concourse. Odd numbers north, even numbers south.

Well, I also had two Zephyr trips in July, and found the service and the food to be quite good. No decline over the past 3 years, in my experience. But, as they say, "your mileage may vary."

Yep, that's me! I confess. :( But now I use gaffer's tape. It's duct tape without the residue. :)

Simple solution to the light/curtain problem: duct tape!! Never leave home without it!!

Good idea, but not exactly new. I have a bi-directional Southwest Chief route guide, dated 1998. Pretty nice - 25 pages each direction (just flip it over for the opposite direction), with a map in the center. Got it when I rode it in '99, don't know when they dropped it. Next time I rode was...

Yep, day of departure, hour before, even less than that is just fine. Been there, done that.

I can answer with firsthand experience: No.

True. But when part of the trip is on AGR & the rest is real money, then they can't be on one res. But in cases like that, I have always called Customer Relations and had them cross-reference the reservations so they will know I'm making the connection. And if it looks like it's gonna be close...

Thanks for the responses, guys. I didn't want to print the return ticket as I will probably have to cancel it and it would be easier if it's not printed. I checked with the station agent at my departure point and he said even if he prints it, the entire res will print, same as Quik-trak. I'm not...

If a reservation includes multiple tickets, does Quik-Trak offer a choice of which ones to print or not print? (I don't want to print my return ticket yet.)

I got the call tonight that my res for 9/6 Chi>Emy is canceled, after being told yesterday that it would run. Got rebooked on the SWC in a family bedroom (I had a bedroom on the CZ) connecting to the Starlight. Now my problem is figuring out a return on 9/16, since sleepers are pretty scarce.

Customer Relations told me today that it will run tomorrow (9/1), and the website shows availability on 449.

Also, the BNSF website indicates that the St. Joseph's subdivision will be back in service on Sept. 3. That should relieve most of the congestion that the Zephyr has been encountering in Iowa & Nebraska.

Amtrak Customer Relations says the Zephyr WILL run starting on Sept. 2, but they have blocked the inventory thru the 9th to try to accomodate those who were affected by the cancellations. I just got off the phone with them.
