Taking the Sunset Limited from LAX to NOL next week, and am wondering if there are any bits of interesting scenery along the way I should be on the lookout for. So far I'm just thinking El Paso and the proximity to the border wall and Mexico could be interesting. And am hoping for some "bayou"...

I'm scheduled to take a #5 CZ from CHI-EMY departing this upcoming Saturday. This is my second attempt to ride this train, as my scheduled trip last year was cancelled by Amtrak when there was a track washout somewhere in Iowa. This year looks to not be much better, as I am concerned with the...

What is the order of stops for the Thruway bus after it picks up California Zephyr passengers in EMY? The 5 timetable shows the Regency as being one of the stops, but when I called to book my connection to there, the lady said it was no longer a stop. So clearly the order of stops has changed...

I've been keeping an eye on the #5 CZ lately, as this weekend I will be taking it for the first time from CHI-EMY. The delays in the past few weeks have been crazy. Here is a sample: Today, 6/24 - projected 7 hours late 6/23 - 5 hours late 6/22 - 12 hours late 6/20 - 4.5 hours late 6/19 -...

Been keeping an eye on the arrival times into EMY the past few weeks since I have a CHI-EMY ride coming up at the end of June. It hasn't been TOO bad, with average delays of about an hour or so. However, I just saw a huge outlier: 2015-06-12: Scheduled: Scheduled Arrival 4:10 pm Actual: 12:06...

Hello all, I will be traveling with a group of 10 on train 134 this Friday, from WAS to NYP. I'm trying to figure out the best place we can all sit together, but I realize there aren't a lot of options. On past trips, I have seen seating layouts on the NE Regional that are 2 rows of seats...

I used AGR points to get a roomette on the Capitol Limited from WAS to CHI. I found out the one I was given, and also the only one available, was a lower level roomette. I was not too pleased by this as I was hoping for an upper level because I assume the views are better. However, maybe the...

I will be traveling to CHI from WAS on the Capitol Limited next month in an roomette, and I want to figure out the schedule of meals. I'm assuming since the train leaves at 4 pm the dinner is around 6-8 or so. What about the breakfast? The train is due to pull into CHI around 8 am, so when would...
