    My Cross Country Trip

    Took #6(6/27) to Chicago (2 hours late out of Sacramento). SCA was wonderful, volunteered to get ice from the diner, juice, water and coffee available. I left a day early and booked a hotel room in Chicago because I did not trust the connection with the cardinal on 6/30. It's good thing I did...

    #6 Late into Chicago, Again

    The Eastbound Zephyr is running 5 hrs+ down. Is it thunderstorms, flooding, or both. I'm connecting to the Cardinal on 6/30 and I am getting concerned.

    Zephyr-Cardinal Connection

    Taking the Zephyr/Cardinal to PVD in a couuple of weeks. With the Zephyr's OTP, I was wondering if they ever use the Galesburg to Indianapolis thruway bus to transfer passengers if the Zephyr is very late. The bus leaves Galesburg at 5:10 PM which would work if the Zephyr is about 5 1/2 hours...

    PVD Amtrak to PVD Airport

    Thinking of a trip SAC to PVD. I would take Amtrak outbound and fly for the return trip. I would need to get to the airport to pick up my rental car. I will arrive on 66 at 6:48 AM. Does anyone know the best way to get to the airport. Google says it is 9 miles so a cab might be a possibility.

    Just a thought that came to mind. From Sputnik to Apollo 11 was a mere 12 years. At the same time we built the Interstate Highway System and fought a war. All this and the National Debt dropped (as a percentage of GDP)...

    Rotating Menus

    Amtrak's web pages still advertizes rotating menus, but the downloadable sample menus are the same for all of the western trains. Do they still rotate the menus, or am I going to have the same choices on my CZ, SWC, CS trip?

    Low Bucket, Lost & Found

    I had to modify a reservation SAC-NPV to SAC-CHI. The extra 30 miles cost me $120. I evidently lost my low bucket price. I went online 5 minutes later and the low bucket was back. I called right back and remodified the reservation. The difference was refunded back to my card. Thanks to all you...

    San Joaquin Thruway Connections

    I'm going to be taking the SJ BFD to SKN and then Thruway connection to MRV. The timetable only has a 5 minute connection at SKN. Am I correct in asuming that the Thruway Coach will wait for the passengers if the SJ is late? :help:
