I understand that the new Piedmont service starts June 4, and the new station will open in the May 31-June 4 range. Only one of the two station tracks will be in service at first -- the second one is not yet tied into the main and that won't happen until: 1) the old station is demolished...

Beginning of the new Piedmont service should be shortly after the new Raleigh Union Station opens. The new station will have two station tracks off the main line with a center platform

The North Carolina General Assembly in its 2017-2019 budget provided state funding for a 3rd RGH-CLT Piedmont train roundtrip probably effective May 2018. Timetable might be available late Fall 2017. This would mean 3 daily RT on Piedmont RGH-CLT, plus Carolinian serves RGH-CLT (as part of...

The #72 tagged for the Football Special is one tentatively reserved for the 4th Piedmont Frequency (2017?) I had seen a schedule three years ago for the proposed 4th frequency that showed the noon departure from RGH-CLT replaced by a 10 am and 2 pm departure from RGH. While I know that getting...

What is the cancellation rule (penalty?) for "old zone redemptions" booked before January 24 for travel after?

North Carolina has a great website on this http://www.bytrain.org/istation/ Marion, Morganton and Old Fort are restored/repurposed former stations on the old Southern Salisbury-Charlotte route that survived with passenger service for a few years post AMTRAK startup

RGH-CYN CYN-DNC and GRO-HPT are all $5.50 so with discount $4.95. You can do RGH-CYN stay on for CYN-DNC then reverse. There are three RT per day from Raleigh to Durham. (you can also do RGH-CYN on the Star but base fare usually $7)

I did this transfer from 14 to 28 in 2010 with bedrooms on both trains. Both trains were on time so had about 20 minutes in the lounge in Portland. Amtrak staff was very helpful and our SCA delivered our cold boxed lunch to our sleeper within 30-45 minutes of our departure from PDX (no hot food...

Planning a trip Dallas to Martinez on 22/5522/5 next summer. There are two hour layovers each in Springfield and Galesburg IL waiting for the 5522 van transfer from the TE to the CZ. Assuming things are on time, are there things to do within walking distance in either city if we can check our...

The van bridge shows if I construct Dallas to Martinez (a couple stops past Sacramento on the CZ) BUT even though the CS runs to Martinez on its way to Emeryville the routing insists that I get off in Sacramento and wait 2 hours and catch a Capitol Corridor Sacramento to Martinez. Go figure...

that connection still shows up eastbound CZ 6/ 5221 (van Galesburg-Spfld)/ TE 21 it's gone westbound

I had been planning a trip Dallas to Sacramento via the Texas Eagle and California Zephyr. I checked last week and there was a routing that included a van connection at Springfield over to Galesburg. I got ready to book and checked this morning for ten different days over the next 11 months and...

Citrix Station

actually, commuter rail would share the NCRR from West Durham to Garner NC (east of Raleigh) Light rail in its initial segment in Wake County would run from just south of I-540 on the CSX tracks North of Raleigh to just West of Cary NC. Light rail would follow the NCRR corridor from West Cary to...

I've done this many times. When things are tight I take a taxi from the terminal to the BWI rail station.

I'm planning a trip from Dallas to Emeryville - Texas Eagle 22 to Springfield and the Zephyr 5 Galesburg to Emeryville. The schedule allows this with a bus/van transfer at Springfield. Ms and I will each have the two allowable bags on 22 and 5. Will there be room on the bus/van for our bags...

I have a one zone AGR redemption trip trip coming up next week DFB-NYP-BOS-Portland ME. We are in a sleeper on 98 DFB-NYP, then business class in a regional NYP-BOS then business class on the Downeaster BON to Portland. Is it possible to upgrade to Acela or Acela First Class on the NYP-BOS leg...

I've parked at Cary, Raleigh, and Rocky Mount. I've never had any problem leaving my car at Rocky Mount, even for week long trips and arriving back at midnight. Raleigh free parking station lot is often full, but there is a county run pay parking deck two blocks away but you are tring to avoid...

Here's a shot of the table I bought some jewelry from in October '11. She had a bunch of stuff she said was handcrafted by the Zunis near Gallup NM. Prices and quality seemed fine to me. There were maybe ten other tables. I had about 30 minutes, my wife was asleep in our sleeper and I put the...

I was at CUS two weeks ago and was killing 3 hours between the EB and CL, and the internet connection on the desktop was not working
