The SWC tomorrow #4 (6/26), if you are connecting to Galesburg, is canceled. They told me to rebook some other day and they would n't bus anyone. Seriously? Currently I'm hosed - I have no way to get to Galesburg.

Taking my annual trip to somewhere, and this year it happens to be to Montreal via the Southwest Chief and Lake Shore Limited (renting a car in Albany to go the rest of the way to prevent a layover). Since I pickup the LSL in Chicago pretty late in the evening, I'm curious if they serve dinner...

Last time I went out to California using points, I left out of KCY, transferred in Galesburg and took the Zephyr to SAC. When I looked at doing the same thing again, it's no longer an option to transfer in Galesburg - now it wants to route me LAX, bus to Bakersfield and then head up to SAC...

In March I might be taking a trip from the Texarkana station instead of KCY that I'm used to leaving from (just one of the 'advantages' of living in a dead zone of no nearby stations). What's the long-term parking situation there? I believe it's near a police station, but I'm curious of anyone...

I always thought there was only 3 zones (East, Midwest, and West) but noticed that there is a fourth, Northeast. How does that figure into AGR? If I'm going from Chicago to DC, is that 3 zones or 2? Seems silly for it to take more points to travel a few miles.

I'm heading EB on the SWC later this week, picking it up from KC. I can't remember - will breakfast still be served to those just getting on? And lastly, I'm off of the train at Galesburg (to catch the Zephyr). Will we get lunch?

It's been less than a year, and I already have 35,000 points (w00!) so the wife/kid and I are going to take the Zephyr next year. If I 'pay' for a room with my points, does that cover all of us or does it only cover me?

The wife/kid and I are heading to DC next Saturday, leaving from KCY on the Chief to CHI and taking the Cardinal there and the Capitol back. Since all the stops have baggage checks, we figure we will check in our baggage in KCY (and DC on the other side) so there's not much taking up space in...
