Well I leave early in the morning to head to Meridian to catch the Crescent. I hope I catch it on a day it isn't full all the way. lol I will update ya'll on the trip either once I get to Cali or after I get back next month. Thanks for all the help!!!!

Doesn't sound like the real issue here was the cell phone it sounds like the issue is the way it was used. If someone uses a cell phone and talks in a quiet voice it doesn't bother me at all. I rode on Greyhound beside a lady who used her cellphone most of the trip and I barely noticed. I will...

I heard nothing from them, so over a week ago I switched my trip out to take me through DC to CHI then to Cali. The guy at the Meridian ticket office said he wouldn't expect the CONO to run again till the last week of May at the earliest.

How much should I tip a Redcap for giving me a ride to the train?

Well, the trip is in less than 48 hours. I am beginning to get a little excited!!!

Amtrak can't afford the lawsuits this would cause. Taser one person and get hit with a million dollar lawsuit that will keep Amtrak in court for years.

To me the speed would have to be that of something like a 200mph Bullet train or faster to really create a vortex behind it.

Every trip I have been on before was aboard a Superliner on Tuesday I will be going on the Crescent and it will be my first Viewliner experience. I was just wondering why they use the Viewliner on some routes that would seem to be better suited for a Superliner. Is it just an equipment issue? Is...

I am scheduled to be on the CONO on June 6 as well. Every indication I have been given is that by then there is nothing to worry about. The River will have crested at every possible location by then and the flood levels will be well on their way down. I really don't think there is anything to be...

Also any other useful info on the Crescent, The Capitol Limited, and CZ would also be appreciated.

Meeting some friends in DC. Known them online for over 15 years meeting in person for the first time next week. lol So it looks like I will be meeting them in the Great Hall in DC, everyone seems to think it is the best option.

I have some health issues that require me to use a cane to get around. Is there early boarding for people with disabilities? I traveled Greyhound last summer, (an area no other transportation went to so I was kinda stuck) and they told me they did early boarding for the disabled. I ended up...

Sounds like a question for Physics class. lol

Okay folks, I leave Tuesday headed to California. I have to make a transfer in DC and Chicago. I Have a few more questions if any of ya'll can help. How long before the train leaves do they allow coach passengers to board? Are the stations in DC and Chicago easy to navigate and figure out the...

The Governor and Army Corps of Engineers are both saying Morganza will open in the next 24 hours.

If the Huey P Long Bridge goes under I hope some of you have a boat to come get me. Because if it goes under I am sure most of the Southern United States will be an ocean. lol

My understanding is that if the Morganza Spillway opens then river levels in New Orleans will crest around where they are right now. Flood gates wont start to close until the river begins to hit 18ft. Which wont happen if Morganza opens.

will they bus from other cities?

Actually the first delay happened somewhere between NO and Meridian MS, it arrived over an hour late there.

Here is a question. If New Orleans did flood and the Crescent couldn't actually reach New Orleans, where would the train originate from? It seems that only a couple stops would possibly be affected by flooding on the Crescent.
