As with every thing there can be excess. Still we have to have some rules. There is a rule that someone can't come to your home and take your stuff or beat you up. Is that a rule you think we should not have? I bet not! So what rules some think are OK to break and what rules are not OK to...

rrdude you use the term 'do-gooders" as if it is a bad thing. When did standing up for truth, justice, and for the good of all society become a negative thing? In my opinion we need rules. Without them there would be chaos.

"I thought, in July that the entire route was fantastic. I rate the EB as my second favorite train. GG-1 What is you favorite train and why? It is dark when you get to Glacier Park the first week of September also.

Thanks everyone. This would be a early Spring trip. Also trying to choose between Corpus Christi or Galveston for the beach/coast experience of this trip??????

Is the train station right down town? I was thinking hotel in downtown area more than in relation to train station. Thank you for the link.

Anybody ever done the multi-city trip in Texas? Do you have recommendations upscale hotels and good restaurants in the downtown section of Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio? How far is Amtrak from these hotels? What can you do in a day or two in these cities that are must sees? Not into...

That's good to know. I've become increasingly annoyed with freeloaders. Especially those louts that think it's OK to sleep on the floor of the lounge car in the middle of the night because they say they can't sleep in their coach seats. They seem incapable of dealing with the circumstances of...

Reese's Peanut Butter Pie sounds right. It was very very good! :D

What is 19/20?

If the tracks are rougher on the Capitol Limited than the California Zephyr then you will need hold on tight. :o We thought we might get bounced out of our sleepers on our trip on CZ. Some in our party just gave up on sleep and went to the Sightseer Car for the rest of the night.

Nope not a Snickers Pie.. This pie had a chocolate cookie crust and the middle was peanut butter and more chocolate on top with a few peanuts sprinkled on top. Resembled a cheesecake.

The recipe I want it the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie served on the Empire Builder this summer. Anyone have a clue?

Just wanted to give you a update. I had not called Customer Service yet and today they called me. A very nice man offered his apologies and gave us a discount for our next trip on Amtrak.

Have you ever sent a email to Amtrak Customer Service? I was wondering if it is normal for them to take up to four weeks to respond to emails? I sent a email to Customer Service from the Amtrak site and here is the reply I got. ""We have forwarded your e-mail to the Customer Relations...

Interesting! We were also detoured through Wyoming on our California Zephyr trip but Amtrak did not offer us any type of credit for "our inconvenience". I was very disappointed to miss the Rocky Mountains which was our main reason for taking that train. We had just spent a few days in...

I was not looking "under or inside my seat " either. As I said in my first post I was sitting in a booth looking out the window and looked down and saw the area between the window and the back of the booth seat I was sitting in. This was a booth seat that the back faced the window. Again I am...

Wish I would of had my camera with me when I was in the Café Car. Words alone don't do it justice.

I was speaking of the lower level of the Sightseer Lounge where the café is. cpamtfan I guess what might be acceptable to some is not acceptable to others. I know passengers can eat wherever they want but there are people who don't want to pay the prices in the dinning car and therefor eat in...

I recently rode the California Zephyr and was surprised at how dirty the food areas were. Most especially the Café Car. I was sitting in the front of the Café Car on the booth that the seat backs up to the window. I looked over the top of the seat to the space between the window and the back...
