Since #1 arrives in LAX at 5:35 (often even early than that), I'm looking for recommendations on a place to grab breakfast. I can that there is a Denny's nearby, but judging from the reviews it looks bad even for a Denny's. I've seen Philipee's recommended on here before. I can see that it's not...

From Facebook All Aboard Washington There will be only 4 extra Seattle-Portland Amtrak runs this year for the Thanksgiving holiday, instead of the 11 extra trips we have seen the last several years. There is one added roundtrip on Wednesday the 27th and one on Sunday the 1st. This is all WSDOT...

Does anyone have the rosters for ANF RTG turbos and the Rohr RTL turbos. I've looked high and low and all I can find is the numbers for the power cars (and an incomplete listing of the rebuilt RTL's) I'm looking for the numbers of each of the coaches/business class and the cafe cars as built.

It doesn't give much information unfortunately. I wonder what equipment they will use, are Superliners still subbing for the Talgo set on 510/517? When I was in Seattle on the 14th the Talgo set under refurb was still sitting at King Street unfinished...

So I attempted to reserve a trip from MSP to SEA for May 12th and it gives me this message We are unable to process your redemption request. Call 1-800-307-5000 for assistance (Sunday - Saturday, 5 am - midnight ET). [Error ID: 1010R] I have enough points so that's not the issue, so I go on...

I'll be laying over in Seattle this Thursday on my down south. With King Street the way it is at the moment what is the current status on baggage storage.

Left left NYP an hour early on Regional 66, they didn't bother scanning our ticket and now were stopping at New Rochelle which is not even scheduled. Its confirmed that we are on 66 with arrival into Back Bay (my final destination) at the regularly scheduled time. Im just mighty confused. There...

I will be taking the 66 from NYP to BBY with the self transfer to North Station and then to Portland. I arrive at BBY at 7:55 and leave North Station at 9:05. Is taking the Orange Line the fastest option? I should note that I will have some luggage with me but its not heavy stuff.

There seem to be quite a few late departures lately.

Looks like the the refurbishment to the first trainset is almost complete and with photos. Im glad to see they didn't use the plan they released a number of years ago that would have eliminated the seating in the bistro car (which on most rides I find lounge and bistro seating to be at a...

Does anyone know what the bistro car refurbs will look like, the only example I can find is from 2009 and it didn't seem to get a favorable reception. http://wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/amtrak-cascades-renovations-first-look.html

What happened out there, im assuming to much snow in the Cascades?

The status map is showing a service disruption. Any idea what happened out there. I noticed that the 14 and 517 (it looks like 517 arrived early into Seattle even)were running, so i'm assuming there were no mudslides.

Saw this posted on the Cascades website, it looks they are running a nonstop "overnight" train between Seattle and Portland in addition to extra frequencies throughout the weekend. My link

Next week im traveling from Bellingham to Vancouver and then taking the Canadian to Toronto. I decided to take the Maple Leaf to Buffalo and fly back from there because it ends up saving me 200 over a direct flight. Anyway, as I have never taken the Maple Leaf before, what is the border...

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/theweatherbeat/2014460482_railroad_mudslide_delays_trains.html I'm booked for the Saturday morning train which means of course it will fall inside the asinine 48 hour rule. Second time I will be bussed this season. Of course no information can be found...

What is this the 5th or 6th time this month alone? http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114870239.html

Service between Bellingham and Vancouver BC canceled for 48 hours. What is the 4th time this month? http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114523769.html

Its been reported that there has been another mudslide south of Everette. Trains are now cancelled for 48 hours. This comes after last weeks mess. http://everett.komonews.com/content/mudslides-block-railroad-track-south-everett

I am currently planning a transcontinental trip from Halifax to Vancouver, and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find on time performance stats for the Ocean. I took the Canadian a number of years ago and remember it being about an hour late.
