    Is Multi-City booking gone on Amtrak.com?

    I don't remember this working for a daily train - at least the last time I did it, the layover had to be LESS THAN 24 hours, so it would only work on trips in corridors where there was more than one train a day.

    Is Multi-City booking gone on Amtrak.com?

    The new multi-city doesn't offer the benefit of the through fare anymore. No idea if deliberate, or a bug.

    Auto train derailment south of Deland 3/26

    It appears that 52 and 53 (28) ran and didn't have to detour, which implies the line has been reopened since the wreck. So why is today's train detouring?

    FY19 Appropriation - Safe

    I must say I'm kinda annoyed at the station agent provision. If there was one thing Amtrak could've cut that I'd say was worthy of cutting, it's station staffing. Far better way to reduce costs than almost anything else that has been floated/done. Far better than all the food service shenanigans...

    Question about Time Stamps on Track-A-Train

    No issues here https://asm.transitdocs.com/train/2019/2/13/6 This looks like a bug with Amtrak's front end, since we use the same data...

    Utah wildfire disrupts the Zephyr east of SLC

    I'm a bit confused about the actual impact on the Zephyr here. This is what I can glean from the status maps: 5 (15) was returned to DEN and then ??? 5 (16) was detoured via Wyoming 5 (17) is currently on regular route in Utah 6 (16) operated regular route 6 (17) operated to Reno and...

    Hurricane Florence 2018

    The service plan as described leaves a set in Roanoke and a set in Norfolk (and possibly Newport News). Are they planning on keeping them there for the storm?!

    Amtrak Status Maps Down?

    I was forced to switch to OSM because sticking with Google under their new pricing scheme would have cost a couple thousand dollars a month, vs zero. I saw it as a forced move that didn't benefit the end user much (increased memory consumption, loss of terrain shading), but I'm glad that for...

    Amtrak Status Maps Down?

    I made a significant update yesterday at around 1am Eastern. If you are experiencing issues clear your cache.

    Pittsburgh PA

    The inclines are highly recommended. Buy a day pass, take the bus to the Duquesne, ride up, enjoy the view, walk to the Monongahela, ride down, and take the light rail back downtown. When visiting the Duquesne Incline, don't forget about the machine room. As of little over a year ago, one can...

    Emp Serv to GCT, LSL NYP Suspended, Other NYP Changes 2018

    50's first run to WAS was 50 (29), which arrived WAS on time.

    Winter Storm Toby 3/21-3/23

    Matching that list of cancellations against W-2, looks like 94 and 97 are the last trains in/out of WAS for the day, with only a few Keystones running north of PHL after that...

    Emp Serv to GCT, LSL NYP Suspended, Other NYP Changes 2018

    I know that. But if it's too tight at the 8am hour, it'll also be too tight at the 3pm hour, etc.

    Emp Serv to GCT, LSL NYP Suspended, Other NYP Changes 2018

    Regionals 152 and 153 will not operate effective 3/24. These are not commission hour trains, they're weekend morning service. I wonder why they're affected and not others; after all NYP work on weekends is consistent across the daytime hours and so is the commuter rail schedule.

    Emp Serv to GCT, LSL NYP Suspended, Other NYP Changes 2018

    Especially given that many people use more than one stakeholder's trains, and if the mental association of "Amtrak" is "the guys who ruin my commute", said person is not likely to consider using Amtrak for their intercity travels. There's enough such people, let's not make more.

    Winter Storm Riley 3/2/18

    20 (4) is cancelled account 19 (2) never operated. 97 (2) did not operate, yet 98 (4) is on the move. Does Miami have a protect?

    CHI-MKE still unreserved?

    If I remember, it's still unreserved, but there's now peak and off peak trains like LIRR/MNR. Use any day, but if you use an off peak ticket on a peak train, pay more.

    Greyhound through ticketing

    This is the reverse of what you are probably thinking. Reno Amtrak is now a station in Greyhound's reservation system, and it appears that you can book the Zephyr for travel between RNO and SLC (including Elko/Winnemucca) like any other Greyhound-ticketed third party carrier.

    asm.transitdocs.com update

    https://asm.transitdocs.com/ In response to several requests following the derailment of 501, I've made the train status page a lot more prominent. Unfortunately, that means the home page is no longer directly the map, so update your bookmarks accordingly if that's all you care for. In...
