I prefer the reporting of Amsnag version 1 over version 2 and was wondering if version 1 is still available?

I know that the following has been mention in other forums, but I had not seen any mention of the Petition. Moderator, move this if you feel it would be better served elsewhere. Gone are the days riding behind Southern Pacific 4449, Norfolk & Western 611, Milwaukee Road 261, Santa Fe 3751, and...

I am planning a trip (RVR to CHI) that I am only 50% sure that I will take. I feel that I need to book it now since the price is at low bucket and I want to make sure that I have a sleeper. I am trying to decide whether it is best to use point or cash. In the event that I have to cancel...

I assume this is not a targeted offer. This is how I got the offer to appear Start the booking process for a trip, you do NOT have to complete the booking. Login to your AGR account. Pick a date. I then did rvr to kcy, and selected the premium option (any type of bedroom will do), then added...

I have already booked a trip using AGR points for just myself in a sleeper, what is the best way to add a second person without losing a ton of points. I do not want to cancel the reservation that I already have as it was book at a low bucket price. So is it possible to add a second person...

I just modified a reservation. Orginial trip was booked under the new system for 22,391 points I modidied the travel date at a point cost of 17,743. So I thought the refund penalty was 10% of the points going back to the account (22,391-17,743=4648) which equals 464.8 points. This was not my...

I have tried for the past 3 weeks to enter an email address for a friend that is going to travel and does not have a AGR account. The system accepts the email that I put in but the system not sending the referral. Does anyone have a clue on what I should do?

I caught this photo while ridding the SW Chief today. Photo was taken about 20 minutes out of the Kansas City station (heading towards Chicago). I have not seen something like this in over 40 years.

I just called AGR and to scheduled a points trip for April 2016. I asked the agent, “If I cancell this trip after Jan 24th will the new 10% penalty apply”. The agent said that I would get all of my points returned and that the new cancellation policy would not apply. This is the second time...

Since the EB to CL connection is now once again guaranteed, but misses the connection more than 50% of the time, my questions are: What happens when EB is not going arrive in time to make CL's departure? --If not that late do they bus you from some stop along EB's route, if so, which stop...

I am in a hotel accros from the Kansas City Station and the SWC has been sitting in the station for 1 1/2 hours. The web site says "Service Disruption." Anyone know what is going on? I also see that the Zephr is also just sitting at the Omaha station.

So the original story last month was that people in the sleepers would only get 2 bottles of water per person for the entire trip. In order to save mega bucks the official policy is 2 bottles per room per trip (equals 1 bottle per person if two people are in the room). I just got on the SWC in...

The sleeping car attendants are no longer allowed to make coffee on the day the train departs (This is my third trip on a long distance train out of Chicago). I am currently on the South West Chief and there is a sign posted by each coffee pot saying that “coffee is provided from 6 a.m. till 11...

I would like to know the location of an ATM and the waiting area for the Canadian. Also does anyone know of a website that shows a detailed floor map of the station? Thanks

Yesterday you could book RVR to KCY taking 98 to NYP, 49 to CHI, then 3 to KCY today it is gone from the web site. I spoke to a AGR supervisor today and she told me that they would not allow this route for points. I have booked this route many times over the last several years and it was...

Does anyone have experience flying from the U.S. to Toronto? If so, how long from the time you landed did it take you to get through customs? I am arriving at 6 p.m. on Tuesday May 5th. Thanks.
