    Southwest Chief (4) delayed 060323

    Apparently there was a pedestrian strike between Riverside and San Bernardino by the 4. Metrolink train to Perris was halted in Riverside. The accident was in the area of Highgrove, just a very short distance from the Riverside station. Edited to be more specific.

    Ticket now or later?

    I am looking at tickets LA to NYP and then NYP to SFC-San Francisco. Found a sleeper to Chicago and then coach to nyp for $698 which is the best I've seen looking for a couple of days. Trouble is the second leg of the trip is really high $1115 for same coach/sleeper set up. Does it make sense to...

    Metrolink ticket to bus subway in LA

    I've read and heard various info about this. Does a Metrolink ticket work like a pass on the LA bus and subway system, where one can go wherever one wants? Or is more like an old bus transfer where you are limited which direction you can go? I'd be traveling on a weekend with a weekend pass if...

    LAX to NYP, NYP to PDX and on to LAX question

    I had such a nice time on my trip to NYC recently that I am thinking of doing another one this summer. Rather than go on the CZ one way, I think I may go on the EB for part of the trip. Anyway, I have a few questions. I took the LSL in a roomette last time. I am not sure it's worth the...

    LAX to NYP and back

    So the plan was I was supposed to take the Surfliner 785 to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles on January 11th evening. Then I was to transfer to a bus from there to Emeryville to meet the California Zephyr. But the day before I was to leave I got a text and email saying that the train was canceled...

    LAX to NYC via Seattle or Portland

    Had a good time taking the CZ to NYC so thinking about going via the Empire Builder. The trip would either be SWC from LAX to Chicago and most likely LSL to NYC and then NYC to Chicago to Seattle or Portland and back to LAX or the reverse trip. I'm just wondering which would be best for making...

    Regional 183

    I am on the 183, New York Penn station to DC. I got on the train, business class, and right before we were scheduled to leave the train was emptied due to mechanical failure. Back to Moynihan hall to wait for a new train. About 35 minutes later there was an announcement that boarding would...

    Southwest Chief #4 12/20 cancelled

    The #4 was cancelled today due to a freight train issue. It was suggested it's a derailment. Any word on where it is and when it may be cleared up?

    Long trip, a few questions

    Hello, I obtained a train ticket from LA to New York City via Emeryville. I will be taking the Superliner 785 from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara and then transferring to a bus to take me to Emeryville. I didn't want to spend a night in a motel (hence not going on Coastal Starlight) and wasn't...

    Northeast Regional discussion

    I may be in NYC this winter (January) and was hoping to go to DC on a train for the day. However, if I get too cold wandering around I'd like to be able to come back to NYC on the train earlier than I would originally have planned. Are the tickets on the NE Regional such that one can go on an...

    Bank of America AGR card

    I am a bit exasperated at B of A. Once again they have cancelled my card and will reissue a new one. This time there was a posting from Walmart.com for about $150 that they questions (properly). I am not sure how the dates and other number could match as I have all the cards and none have left...

    Refund on paper ticket

    My son in law got a roomette paper ticket for the 11th of this month. He was able to get the ticket refunded when their plans changed. My daughter had been added to spouse's roomette on a paper ticket. She went to LAUS for a refund and was told to mail the ticket to refunds department. Was she...

    Denver bus to SWC?

    I was looking to go from Denver to San Bernardino on January 11th but don't see the connection. I thought there was an early bus that connected in NM. Is it me, my phone or has that changed? I did see I could go to Illinois but didn't want to go there.

    Attempted hack

    I got an email this afternoon from AGR saying someone had tried to change my AGR password. Apparently they weren't successful because the one I use worked. I called the phone number about it but it was too late as I didn't notice the email until after the Super Bowl. About a half hour after the...

    Freight trains through Beaumont CA

    We are locked down for a bit more in CA but hoping to be set somewhat free soon. If we can go someplace other than the store, doctor, etc we may consider going to watch trains in Beaumont/Banning area for a bit. It seems like a lot of trains run there during daylight. I know the Sunset Limited...

    14 is all kinds of late today (1/17/19)

    Started an hour late but by the time it left Van Nuys it was over 6.5 hours late. It's now 7 hours late.  Any idea on what went wrong?

    Inherited train that has been altered

    Greetings, I inherited a nice Lionel train (nice at one point anyway) but it has been altered quite a bit. The engine appears to be original but the tender has a RR painted on the side that was used in a diorama. The rest of the cars, 3 that were flat cars, have been altered considerably. Flat...

    Denver to LAX

    I'd like to take the California Zephyr to someplace in northern California before transferring to a train that would take me to LA. If I didn't care to see the best of the Rockies, I could just take a bus to the SWC and arrive at 8 or so in the morning. But if I want to go through the Rockies I...
