    Cellular coverage

    It might be helpful to make a list of spots where cellular coverage is/is not available on most trains. The only thread that I could find on this is almost 10 years old. I found some maps: T-Mobile: https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/coverage-map AT&T...

    Gas prices where you are located?

    I live in a part of the US where gas is relatively inexpensive. I filled up today for $3.70 a gallon, using a $0.20 per gallon discount. It cost $73 to fill up my tank.

    Amtrak shirts

    I noticed that this shirt was once an option in the store. https://store.amtrak.com/ProductDetail.aspx?did=5547&pid=195532 It is no longer available. Amtrak seems to have done away with many of their classic shirts. They should make an "America's getting into training" t-shirt, and the above...

    I am curious, but does anyone remember what their first experience on Amtrak was? For me, it was on the LSL from Toledo to Chicago during COVID. It was delayed from 6:22 am to 7:25 am.

    Wolverine schedule

    I am considering taking the Wolverine from Detroit to Chicago instead of the LSL/Capitol Limited from Toledo to Chicago. However, I can't really find a convenient schedule for it. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it make sense to transfer to the NICTD in Michigan City to get to downtown...
