    Questions regarding Winter/STL/KC and SWC

    If you would rather not wait at KCY it is possible to board the Saluki at Centralia and connect in Chicago. There is a small parking area at the station there that you can use.

    Amtrak taken to task on Fox last night

    This has been interesting to read. It reminds me of a quote I once heard. "Don't confuse me with facts. My mind is already made up".

    From FTW to Emeryville

    The name of the hotel in Emy is The Hyatt House. It is just across the tracks via an elevated walkway. It has elevators and is also a very short walk. If you need a rental car Enterprise is just across the street from the station and my experience with them has been very good.

    CZ to Chicago

    Oakland airport is 20 minutes from Amtrak in Emeryville. Southwest Airlines have late evening flights to Oakland, then a cab to the hotel right across the tracks from the station. The CZ leaves about 9:00 AM next morning. You wouldn't have to lose a day for travel to the train.

    CDL - CHI daytrip turn

    There is a public parking lot at the station. I've left my car a couple of times for a week long trip and once for two weeks with no problems. See the agent in the station for a parking pass to hang on your car if you leave it for an extended period of time.

    New Orleans Hotel suggestion

    Check out Drurys. Couple of blocks to the French Quarter but it is a nice hotel.

    How fast is the train moving?

    Try the formula on a calculator. It is based on the number of seconds per mile versus the number of seconds in an hour. It works.

    How fast is the train moving?

    Divide the number of seconds per mile into 3600 for mph.
