I took a tour of Southern NE yesterday. SPG, NHV, BOS, SPG. Cost to me $75 using Chase Amtrak card. With the doubled points, I see 550 points total. Am I right? Train hunger satisfied for a while.

Next week, I will be passing thgrough Denver on the CZ. I know this is the topic of an old thread but where is the stop right now, The Union Station or the Light Bulb building?

Trip in less than two weeks! :) 1. On the LSL viewliner Sleeper is there any luggage storage other than the "hole" above the toilet in the room? I may check my large bag from SPG-CHI. 2. Has anyone had experience with the WiFi on the CS PPC car? I think that it's just in the PPC if I read it...

I haven't taken the LSL westbound in quite a while. How is the combination of the 49 and 449 handled? Is the station stop just a short stop after they are combined? There seems to be a lot of time there, wondering if it's possible to go into the station or most of the time is out in the yard...

How lond is the CZ stop in denver going West? Years ago when I last rode it it seemed quite a while. Of course we could have arrived early if that's possible. I remember going out the front of the station, taking some pics then back at the t5rain talking with the SCA and some other people for a...

Is this one OK and any other suggestions? It's just for one night at a time and I'm trying to keep costs...

I haven't seen any mention here that the full Coast Starlight is running again. Checked the Amtrak site and it looks as if it is. :huh:

Well now, It looks as if I may just luck out on my Northbound trip on the Coast Starlight on May 21st, now I seem to notice that when I get to Albany-Renn. on the Lakeshore Limited, I will be riding a bus to Springfield, MA. It really looks as if there is no more train service from Boston to...

I wonder if anyone has late news on progress on the repair of the tracks in the Oregon mudslide area. I'm still booked to go to SEA on the CS on May 21st. I won't get excited unless there's still a problem on May 1st. :unsure:
