So I'm trying to book a trip between Anaheim (ANA) and Reno (RNO). Ideally I'd like to not use buses and also experience the Pacific Parlor Car so I was hoping to be able to invoke the rule on AGR about non published routes that allows booking a sleeper with an overnight in a city-in this case...

The webcomic xkcd has put together a "Subways of North America" map that is largely accurate...but pretends that they all link together in some fashion. Of particular note is the "Forest Park-Pasedena Shuttle" that runs between Forest Park, IL and Pasedena, CA....every 15 minutes.

Megabus has announced that it will return to the West on December 12, with hubs in Los Angeles (at LAUPT) and San Francisco (at Caltrain.) Reno (actually Sparks) and Las Vegas are destinations, both of which will have their stops at a transit bus terminal. Link that hopefully goes to the right...

There's a new promotional fare going on: Buy one get one half off on the southern legs of the Crescent (south of Atlanta) and Palmetto (south of Fayettesville, NC). Significant advance purchase requirement though: Right now it's book in February, travel in June. Says there'll be a new offer...

Got an email today offering double points through September, promotion called BoardingBonus. Anyone else get this? It's prefaced with "We haven't seen you on board in a while" so maybe it's for relatively inactive riders. Reno-Truckee points runs, go!

It seems like every topic about the Silvers or Lake Shore someone bemoans the expense and/or unavailability of Viewliner bedrooms. Makes sense-there's only two per car instead of six in a Superliner. Has there been any talk of making some of the new Viewliner sleepers all-bedroom cars like the...

I've been browsing AGR's Points-for-Shopping deals, which seems to have grown hugely lately. Some of them are breaktakingly random (eHarmony?! Buh? GameStop?! Weird! RiffTrax?! Awesome!) and I know I would have a hard time remembering to visit AGR to get linked. Is it necessary to follow that...
