My family is thinking of taking the River Runner from Kansas City to either Kirkwood or St. Louis for a long weekend this summer. I have a few things I would like to hear from folks in the know that could maybe help me with. 1. Our plans are to travel out of KC on Thursday morning and arrive...

I understand that most Amtrak trains run on somebody else's track. I can even understand that a host railroad may not like it when the Amtrak train stops at stations so they have to work around that. What I don't understand is Amtrak is a paying customer, why is a paying customer treated so...

CZ 6(10) was 2 hours late leaving Elko, NV and 7:42 late arriving Salt Lake City. CZ has been losing time west of SLC a few days in the past week or so. Anyone know whats going on in that 45 mile stretch?

After Christmas we are traveling from OMA to PDX via SAC. There is a 9+hour scheduled layover in SAC, but based on the CZ almost always being late, I expect a shorter visit. What I am looking for is a restaurant that is an easy walk (couple blocks) or is on the Gold Line light rail so I can...
