    SWC #3 to Lamy/Santa Fe - Time for a Beer in Lamy?

    For only the second time in my life (though I have ridden the SWC dozens of times) I will detrain in Lamy and take the shuttle into Santa Fe. Now that there is a Chili Line Brewing Tap Room inside the Lamy Station, and assuming my train will be reasonably on-time, is there enough time to have a...

    First Class Lounge at Gateway Station - St. Louis?

    Forgive me if this has been asked before. Is there really a First Class Lounge at the Gateway Station in St. Louis? For the many, many times that I have had a layover in St. Louis I have never known for there to be such a room as this, although I have not been in and out of Gateway for about a...

    Kansas City to Taos, NM via SWC and Regional Bus

    I am curious as to whether or not anyone has taken the Southwest Chief to Santa Fe (Lamy) and then (after being shuttled) connected with the regional bus that travels from near the Santa Fe Plaza to Taos.  From all that I can see, the Blue Bus (Santa Fe to Espanola to Taos) is FREE and will...

    Has there been a public announcement, from Amtrak, of the addition of thruway service Newton - (Wichita) - Oklahoma City, connecting the Southwest Chief and Heartland Flyer? I know that you can book that connection...but the Amtrak National Map does not show it...pdf timetables don't show...

    Southwest Chief - Heartland Flyer Connection

    Just stumbled across this new service. Kansas City to San Antonio and back, in a more direct way (than thru STL) is great! Does anyone know if Wichita is the only shuttle stop between Newton, KS and Oklahoma City, OK...and if so, where IS that stop in Wichita?

    Southwest Chief and track maintenance in Kansas and Colorado

    As I am traveling the #4 from KCY to CHI in the middle of the summer, connecting to the #59 that same day, I was wondering if anyone knows how long track maintenance (somewhere between Garden City and Trinidad?) is scheduled to take? While I am confident that I'll have no trouble making this...

    Car Rental and/or Taxi Service from San Diego Station

    Never having arrived at San Diego via Amtrak...are there car rental opportunities at or near the station? Are cabs standing/waiting for pick-ups from the SD station?
