    Cheaper Seats

    Just tried it, either it has a new web address, or it's not online anymore. Either way, I can't find it anymore. I had it book marked and have used it for a long time, until now.

    I'm booked on the LSL in September. What are the chances of a new sleeper or diner on that train??

    Cheaper Seats

    Amsnag doesn't work anymore. I think they took the site down.

    Things to do in Chicago on a Layover

    I arrive at 3 pm and depart at 9:30 pm On June 4, so it shouldn't be cold. I like to walk so my idea is to just walk around for several hours. Is it safe to do that after dark or are there areas I should avoid? Also, how late can you go to the top of the Hancock building?

    Making beds in sleepers

    So Amtrak is suddenly concerned about proving the blankets are fresh and clean? Following that logic, whey aren't the sheets also delivered in plastic bags and thrown on the bed for the passengers to make? This sounds to me like a cost/labor savings initiative being sold as something else.

    Amtrak.com today

    It's been over 24 hours. I can't imagine the revenue they must be losing. I've seen airline websites go down before, but usually it's corrected in a few hours. This must be a massive failure. I'm trying to use a voucher along with cash to book a trip and i can't do it.

    LAX hotel

    Ok, I misread the schedule, it leaves at 10 pm. That's ok, I'll check out as late as possible and find something interesting to do. Is the area around the station safe to walk around?

    LAX hotel

    I'm coming into LAX on the Coast Starlight and leave the next morning on the Texas Eagle. Anyone have a suggestion on a hotel for the night? I've not been to the LAX train station, I understand it's not in the best area.

    Sleeper Car

    I know all about amsnag, use it all the time. In this example, the fares were just slightly different over a several day span so it didn't make much difference from a price perspective.

    Sleeper Car

    I really like the lower level, mainly because there are very few people walking by and I also like being closer to the ground to watch things go by. I know many prefer the upper level, I guess I'm strange. Anyway, It's not a deal breaker being upstairs, but I was able to shift my trip just a...

    Sleeper Car

    Thanks for the info! I called and there were no other rooms available. I decided to change my date of travel and got a room I like, and the price was lower too!

    Viewliner II - Part 1 - Initial Production and Delivery

    Why is everything such a top secret with Amtrak. Don't they communicate what's going on with their employees?

    Sunset limited question

    I'm scheduled for a trip from NOL to LAX on the Sunset. I have a roomette booked for the trip. Since it arrives in LAX at 5:30am, do they kick you off the train immediately or are you able to sleep in a bit or take a shower after arrival before disembarking??? Does the train usually arrive...

    Texas Eagle

    I'm thinking about taking the Texas Eagle from LAX to CHI in the spring. The SW Chief is faster and cheaper, but the Eagle is a route I haven't done. Is it worth it or should I just stick with the SWC?? I see there is about a 2 hour layover in San Antonio, although it's very early in the...
