    Taxis at Gallup NM Amtrak station?

    Does anyone know if taxis are available at the Gallup NM Amtrak station? I'll be arriving on the SW Chief in the morning and then need to get a ride to a car rental agency so I can drive to Durango CO. Alternatively, does anyone know if any of the local car rental agencies will pick up at the...

    Hair Dryers??

    I recall reading in old posts that the electrical outlets in Superliner roomettes lack sufficient amps (watts?) to power a hairdryer. Four questions for the group: 1, Is it correct that hairdryers can't be used in roomettes? 2. Do the electrical outlets in Superliner bedrooms have...

    Meals TUC-LAX?

    In July we'll be traveling from Tucson to Los Angeles on the Texas Eagle/Sunset. With the new schedule, we depart Tuscon at 7:35 pm and arrive Los Angeles at 5:35 am. Will they still be serving dinner when we board in Tucson? If so, should we ask our attendant when we board to make dinner...

    Breakfast if Boarding CZ5 in Denver?

    We'll be boarding the westbound CZ 5 in Denver. Scheduled departure is 8:05 am. I assume we'll be able to have breakfast in the dining car, assuming the train arrives halfway on time. In the event that the train is running late, does anyone know how late breakfast is served in the dining car?

    I'm taking the Empire Builder next Monday from Portland to Chicago. Is there a dining car when the train leaves Portland? With departure at 4:45 pm, dinner should be soon after departure.

    CS running late today

    Today's NB Coast Starlight left San Luis Obispo 1 minute late, but arrived in Paso Robles (normally an hour away) almost 2-1/2 hours late. Anyone know what happened? Seems like the 14 is running late more days than not lately (at least from LAX to the SF Bay Area -- I haven't been checking...

    Space in Superliner Roomette

    Has anyone measured the height of the space under the lower bunk in a superliner roomette? I've read that "flat" bags work best, but that doesn't tell me much. Thanks.
