Fellow Missourians! Now is the time to give your input on the new state rail plan, due out next April. The two main issues at these meetings, at least regarding passenger rail, are the improvements to the MORR and the possibility of new service St. Louis-Springfield. I know we've got several...

When I put in a routing from my home station of SED (Sedalia, Missouri) to any point east of Chicago, I am not allowed to do so. I always accepted that this requires an overnight in Chicago, since the MORR gets into Chicago very late (8:40 PM). However, in glancing over the Illinois schedules...

St. Louis is far and away the best Missouri city to visit by rail. Gateway Station is an intermodal facility served by Amtrak, intercity buses, Metrobus, and Metrolink rail. There is simply no need for a car here, and you'll find it is much easier to get to the major attractions without one as...

We are being given the opportunity to provide the state with some feedback on how the River Runner is doing as well as to weigh in on possible additional Missouri service. The survey is open to anyone, but it does request a zip code, so they can distinguish between residents and non-residents...

I downloaded Railworks 2 from Steam this past weekend, and so far, I am thoroughly impressed. The physics are top-notch, the simple controls are easy to use, and the cab view allows the player to use the actual controls for the engine. I have spent most of my time so far with the steam engines...

Now that we're earning some AGR points, we're wanting to have a long-term goal to save up for. So if we redeem a bedroom on a Superliner, is it possible to get a Family Bedroom? It seems like on most trains, the Family Bedroom is actually cheaper than the Bedroom, so it stands to reason that we...

My family and I are planning an Amtrak trip soon, and we've already bought the tickets. We'll be going on the MORR, and we used the 20% off coupon that renders the tickets non-refundable. Well, a situation came up, and we thought we'd have to reschedule the trip. Fortunately, it looks like we'll...

Hello all! I am a longtime fan of trains, but I am relatively new to train travel. Since there are no passenger lines in the Ozarks--we have to drive about two hours to Sedalia--most of the locations we travel are only accessible by highway. However, once we took the Amtrak to Chicago, we've...
