Coming soon on your smartphone: "Grand Theft - Amtrak."

It certainly would be worth an extra $100 to me on this great trip to ride in the PPC on the CS. In fact, it may well turn out to be the highlight of your trip.

Yes, thanks for an interesting trip report along with the dining suggestions. Certainly agree with you on view liner over Superliner roomettes although neither comes close to matching the comfort of a Pullman or Budd roomette.

Yes, question nothing and, for heaven's sake, don't think!

The carrier's financial obligation is to its owners, the stockholders. Obligation to passengers is safety. If it becomes all that profitable, some carrier will break ranks and lower price. Why would you expect something different?

Great site - thank you for posting.

Great series! Thank you for posting.

Great travelog, thank you for taking the trouble to post. You seem to have enjoyed your trip hope you will return to see more.

I don't see a New York Clipper listed for the RF&P in the 3/50. 11/52, 5/54. o r 6/55 Official Guides.

Excellent trip report. Thank you for posting. I've ridden the SWC many times bet. LA & Chgo but have never broken the trip to go up to the narrow gauge rrs so your trip was of particular interest. I hope you remembered your porters on the LSL just as well as they remembered you, more...

Can you post a photo of the old one?

The J is through routed with the M so you can ride a big look and get Mission Dolores Park, the PRW down the middle of 19th Ave and the Twin Peaks Tunnel all in one side.
