IDK if I can post this here, but I'll give it a try You Can Hear the Whistle Blow

Hey guys, its been a while - I had some health issues. Anyway, in August I am planning on taking the LSL from NYP to CHI which will go via ALB. A guy in ALB has a goodie that he wants to sell me. Is there anyway he can drop it off at ALB and I can get it (in STL perhaps) without his waiting...

At present 49(23) is about 3.5 hrs late and when we reach CHI Wifey and I arehoping to get on the TE which is scheduled to leave 4 after the LSL arrives. Wish us luck :help: So we are rather concerned about the lateness of 49(23). Anyone know what the problems might be? BTW the vacuum...

We just had a horrid trip on the EB 27(15), two days with no toilets, our SCA needed a 2 foot crowbar to get my room door open etc etc, so I am feeling a bit negative about Amtrak. At present I am in the VAC Panorama Lounge and it does not compare well to the Metro Lounges that I am familiar...

We will be taking a little trip soon, we will take the EB to PDX, arriving Jan 17, '13 then the Cascades 516 to Vancouver, BC. Spend the night in VAN then board the Canadian (1/18) to Toronto. We do have an extra day scheduled in VAN - is it enough? Should we do anything else or should we...

Wifey are going from PDX to VAC in coach in Jan 2013. Could we use One Class Upgrade Coupons (if we had them) so we would be in business class? Anyone have some extras? Thanks

Wifey and I will be visiting SF for 3 days in Jan 2013 via Amtrak so we think that 3 day passes would be useful, but I can't find an online vendor. Can anyone help?

We are hoping to take the Camadian from Vancouver to Toronto in January - watching the Exppress Deals and email offers but I was wondering which credit card would give me the most points. Normally, for a train ride I would use my Amtrak card but I doubt that they give double points for Via. I...

I used to take my netbook with me on Amtrak on the netbook I had Delorme software - I enjoyed following my trip on the 'puter. Since then I bought an Android tablet - a Motorola Xoom. It has Google maps/navigation but when I took it on a little trip STL -GRA, I couldn't find settings that...

Any way to get TY points into AGR?

On Monday Aug 20 I am ticketed on LS302 STL - CHI with a return on TE 21 SPI -STL on Aug 22. If I'm going to be on a bus, I'm going to reschedule - and if I do that I might even run into my pal Jim

Not a lot more to say is there?

We will be taking The Canadian to Toronto then the Maple Leaf which will get us into Buffalo at 1:30 pm. Then the Lake Shore Limited get in at 11:30 pm. What to do during those ten hours?

At present we are thinking of going CCW - in Jan 2013 go from STL via CHI to Toronto for a day maybe at the Stratcona Hotel then take the Canadien to Vancouver and the ferry to Victoria and stay at the Empress. After a few days there we will take a ferry to SEA, and then the CS to EMY for a few...

We are doing a bucket trip - the Canadian, CS and CZ with stops on Victoria Island and San Francisco. In Toronto we just want a place to sleep and Internet. Suggestions??

Pax with a Doctor's letter stating that they have Mobility Disabilities are eligible for a 15% discount and can request the "H" room and be charged at roomette rates. :rolleyes: Wifey's Doctor gave her such a letter. <_< Question If we choose to book a regular bedroom, are we charged...

Seems like the switch from BOS to BON louses up arrow. Should I use the phone? How many zones is this trip?

I read Penny's trip report and decided that Wifey and I should also go. After all the express deal on a cabin for two is only just over a kilobuck. Whoa there slick!,! Appears that its a kilobuck PER PERSON -not like Amtrak pricing. This may cause major difficulties :angry2:
