    Choosing Roomettes on SWC

    Really should be based on time reserved before room choice. The blocks (in my humble opinion) should just be based on the availability at the time you make the reservation. Room choice is just a perk they can easily arrange for early booking customers. Now if they want to drive customers away...

    California Zephyr weird rail route

    All right who can tell me why the rail does this on the CZ in between Oasis and West Wendover in Nevada? I'm bored :). I was thinking maybe a mine or something but Google earth doesn't really show any buildings so who knows? I see another one by Tucker point south of Salt Lake. So what are these?

    Choosing Roomettes on SWC

    The fact that I had to call in twice to get it done. I've all ready spent 2K$ on rail service within the month you would think they would let me choose the room I want without all the hoops.

    Choosing Roomettes on SWC

    So ya I called again and got it worked out had to make sure it was the right car though as they was going to put her in another car first lol.  It just boggles the mind that you pay for first class and get treated like coach lol. (Presumptuous ass emoticon goes here)

    Amtrak in Tulsa OK why not

    Ya I think it would be fairly easy to run passenger rail to Tulsa OK and Springfield Mo and connect in St. Louis. I guess since the SWC is the loosing money maker they don't want to expand it. But Springfield has the dumbest airport in the state with Allegiant Airlines running a low budget fleet...

    Choosing Roomettes on SWC

    So I wanted to book another Roomette on the SWC for my mom and wanted it beside our Family Room (15). On the phone the representative said it would be twice as much to book 14 even though it was available. So I just let it auto select 6. Why is Amtrak so money hungry? Wouldn't they want to group...

    Amtrak Riverside Call Center to Close - Jan 2019

    I'm amazed if they all ready don't have contracts in the works for offshore outsourced call centers now. This is one of the few companies that still uses domestic call centers other than Credit Cards and Banks. Hell even the Post office throws everyone a 1800 number now which is just a...

    There's a hole in my bucket, dear Amtrak, dear Amtrak...

    Why can't you just get on the train and buy the seat from the conductor? Is this obsolete now? I haven't rode in a long time but figure that the train should have a way to process tickets. Forcing all transactions online is ridiculous with how these banks operate. Ya rates might be higher paying...

    Missouri River Runner Westbound Vid 314

    Could have been but it seemed as though it had a smaller top and it wasn't a double decker. But who knows it was only 20 years ago lol. Would like to know somebody who has a list of all the cars Amtrak has and retired :)

    Missouri River Runner Westbound Vid 314

    I remember back in 1997-1998 when I rode the river runner for the first time there was a sightseeing car with a glass roof kinda like The Great Dome car. But it was only once I seen it. Later in 2010 no sign of it. Was it just my imagination? I'm sure it probably has been retired does anybody...

    Unsold sleepers

    You guys should work in the Postal industry a lot of government nonsense there too. I think it all comes down too is booking. They would rather have you book than ride on a whim hence the no onboard upgrades. Look at the cancellation jargon now. They love no shows ;). They are just following the...
