    California Zephyr discussion

    Yes, that's it. Explanation of Excel chart... *My prefer to watch scenery coming toward me. *I'm NOT at all FOND of sitting in the "chair" and much prefer to sit on the couch side. So, the purpose of the chart is to keep track what percentage of time the Sleeper has the bedrooms facing...

    California Zephyr discussion

    Zephyr #5 has been running the standard 31/32 sleepers since May 23 season. #5 departing CHI on Jun 19, and videoed through Ft. Morgan, showed that the Zephyr #5 dropped its second sleeper but added a second Dorm to the end of the train. If you were scheduled on this trains second sleeper (32)...

    Hotels convenient to Amtrak

    +1 for Hyatt House Emeryville. It's a solid goto when taking Zephyr. As mentioned above, it's only 1,000 feet (.2 mi) door to door and has a walk bridge to connect the hotel and station. (it's a bit more expensive than some alternatives but can't beat the convenance.) If you're a railfan book...

    Superliner trains' removal and restoration of cars (2022-2023)

    Hi n3rdg1rl, With regard to “Sleeper Removal” discussion concerning Amtrak Car #2131… I can confirm Eagle 21 ran one sleeper car #2131 last Friday. (DAL > SAS). (Door sign said #2230 ;-)

    Superliner trains' removal and restoration of cars (2022-2023)

    Hi n3rdg1rl, With regard to “Sleeper Removal” discussion concerning Amtrak Car 2131… for further evaluation... Amtrak 21 stop filmed at Mineola Texas captured 2 months ago and appears to still be running only 1 sleeper. It was numbered 2131. (see video at 0:41 or 1:09 for validation)...

    Superliner trains' removal and restoration of cars (2022-2023)

    For your evaluation... I too am booked in car 2131 next month (DAL>SAS). Here is a view of my previous 2 bookings on Train 21. I was also placed in car 2131 even though they were only running one sleeper. All went well on those trips.

    Texas Eagle 21 @ Texarkana today Jul 1 - Pull’n an Observation car.

    Texas Eagle 21 @ Texarkana today Jul 1 - Pull’n an Observation car. I wouldn't draw any conclusions it’s back yet, probably just hitch’n a ride. And strange position. Still, nice to see it on the consist again.

    Where is this car located on the California Zephyr?

    Are there any recent Zephyr riders in the last week that noted the Sleeper car #'s and positions to the diner? Zepyhr is still running 2 Sleepers up front daily, and they have traditionally been Diner, 31 and 32. Many of us have been booked on 30 (mine coming up this weekend) but I've not seen...

    Texas Eagle with two units

    tempo-rail.org I have no idea how much contribution they provide to Amtrak changes. From my observation I find Railpassengers.org my best option to support. Also I should add the disclaimer that I'm not fond of the Eagle. Nothing to see CHI>DAL. It's simply my route home from Zephyr, Empire, or...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Well Mr. Devil... "they're regional"✔ and "I used to eat them as a kid✔(and still do)" and "everyone should try them.✔(at least one)" :-) Guess it's a Southern thing... Grit's and Dr. Pepper ... I hold my mom responsible.

    Texas Eagle with two units

    Texasrailadvocates.org and Railpassengers.org (renamed NARP) is the best we've got now. At least we're on a route. I really miss the DAL>ORD route with my kids pre Katrina.

    There's my beef! (or the lack of 🥩).

    Texas Eagle with two units

    To further qualify this consist, is as it leave St Louis thru San Antonio (they drop off cars in St Louis) And they don’t alter in consist between St Louis and San Antinio. Pre-COVID Eagle ran with the 7 days a week 21 with 1 Sleeper up front, Diner, Obs, and 2 Coach's and added the 3 days a...

    Texas Eagle with two units

    I authored the XLS and the Information comes from the virtualrailfan Fort Worth Tower 55 cam. (for the Eagle) Eagle ends in DAL as this is home. Eagle is just my way "home" from CHI where all my Westbound LD routes connect. I can validate all but the actual car # assigned to the Sleepers.
