While going through my DISH (My Channels sub group) satellte channels I discovered the RFDTV channel. Some of you may have heard of it, others may not have. Anyways, discovered the "Trains and Locomotives show" and I am in the process of watching the story of The Daylight train. Neat stuff for...

TE departed 1:45 CT (CHI). Gives me hope that when I leave WAS on the CL tomorrow that I will be able to take a warm CZ out of CHI to RNO on Friday and get home to 60-65 degree Las Vegas. NAVYBLUE Edit: And the SWC (4/7) has passed Alberquerque heading EAST to Chicago.

Taking the CZ out of RNO Monday 10/10 @4;06 PM (PCT). Interested in positive and/or negative SCAs you may have had and any scenic/historic sites to look out for. Thanks NAVYBLUE

OK. Gong from RNO-CHI-WAS for Christmas. Last year was SWC(LAUS)-CARD-CL-SWC(LAUS). Returning, want to experience a new LD route if possible. Already have the WAS-CHI-PDX-SAC-RNO figured out. Have to return to RNO where I am leaving my truck. OK, here is the schedule to get to RNO AFTER I get...

This Christmas trip back east I am about 90% leaning towards TE/CL going east. If I take the #422, does that mean I stay in my roomette snug as a bug in a rug from 4:50 AM arrival to 7:00 AM departure at SAS or do I switch trains at SAS ? Coming back west, it will be CL/SWC (which I rode 12/11)...

http://www.lvrj.com/...-174081901.html Although I am cautiously optimistic, I have some doubts he can get AMTRAK and the (3) host tracks on his side, but I'll wait and see. It would be a boon to Las Vegas' economy as the train ends right on the Strip at the Plaza Casino. It could bring in the...

After taking our first Amtrak LD (SWC/CARD/CL/SWC) last December from LAX-WAS-LAX to avoid the TSA gropefest/sardine flights to visit family in MD/PA and CT for Christmas we have become fans. This year we are doing the CZ-LSL-LSL-EB-CS from EMY-CHI-SPG and return. 1. What type of long term (29...

I put a trip report for WAS-CHI on the CL and from CHI-LAX on the SWC in the trip report. section. I didn't do the eastbound LD as I wanted to wait until I was 3/4 westbound to do the westbound and then I'll do the eastbound LD as I now have something to compare it to. I would be interested in...
