Does anyone know if there are live web cams that may show trains departing and arriving from Chicago Union Station ? Thanks for help, Slither

Thanks to all for your input.

Thank-you for your replies. Here is what I'm whining about. OMA - NPV 12-29-19 Roomette - $352.00 Points - 24,288 Bedroom - $446.00 Points - 15,387 No discounts, two adults. Shouldn't the points be less for the roomette ? The...

When researching prices for a future trip, it appears there's an interesting value change in the AGR points. The cash price for SL bedroom is higher then the roomette which I think is standard. When I switch the cost to points, the point cost for the roomette is extremely higher then the...

After driving through last week, and seeing the construction around the station was wondering if passengers were still departing and arriving from Omaha or getting bused to Lincoln or Creston ?

I can get to all areas of my account when I am logged in except for My Account Overview section. Called AGR yesterday and they didn't seem to be very interested in offering help. They said it must be on our end, your about the fifth or sixth call I've had today in regards to that issue. Just...

diagrua hit the nail on the head!! Spot on

I think it would be great to bring the Desert Wind back into service. A lot of people from CHI-OMA-DEN areas would use it. They love Vegas, and what a great way to get there. Although Union Pacific could be a major obstacle in reviving the service.

What a great memory for her. Will be thinking of her and her dad, plus all the construction workers when we go through in March. Both east and west.

I'm sure that this has probably been addressed, but was wondering if sleeping car passengers are still escorted to their assigned cars from the new lounge. Hoping to leave from there early this summer. Thanks for the info. M.J.S.

Thinking of planning a round trip from Chicago to Sacramento. This being our first trip to Sacramento and after googling the station and the area around the station we have a couple of question in regards to trains 5 & 6. Do you get off train 5 and get on train 6 from approximately same...

Is the CZ consist still traveling in the summer line-up ? Thanks for the info in advance..

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I would like some information on places to stay near Union Station. I'm not real familiar with "The Windy City". Hopefully there are some choices within walking distance. Thanks for your help and advice.

Has anyone had experience with hotels around the Sacramento Amtrak train station in regards to rates and convenience to station? Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

On our long distance train trips we always travel in a sleeper, and i generally tip 20% of what our meals would be if we would pay for them. My feelings are always mixed on tipping the SCA, because we always carry are bags (usually one suit case and one carry on each) on ourselves. Then when we...

IMHO If you have nothing to hide, then a search would be welcome for everyones safety. If you cooperate it would only be a very short delay, unless something seems suspicious. In this day and age it's always nice to see some security around. Lots of crazies around.

Fuel pump didn't do the job. Had to wait for help just past Longview. U.P 3826 (SD70M) pulling Amtrak 97 and train 22 to Chicago. 79 mph no problem. About seven hours late going to St. Louis.

Sitting in Longview Texas waiting for mechanics from Fort Worth to arrive and install new fuel pump on engine. Dropped power twice since leaving Dallas. Tried using ice from diner to keep engine/fuel pump cool. Limped into Longview and waiting patiently. Think we'll call it a night. Could be a...

Do they offer lunch on 22/422 before their arrival in Chicago. It looks like a close call. Thanks for the info.
