    Amtrak LD Dining Car Rules on Electronic Devices

    While on Train 14 last thanksgiving weekend, you got the impression that you couldn't even use your cell phone at all. Was in the last coach. Weather wasn't good and people were calling about connections, etc. The train crew got really upset about cell phone use. I used mine anyway.

    VIA rail Canada

    I did that trip about 8 to 9 years ago. Loved it. Had a Canadian Rail Pass. Went coach, at that time meals were not included with the sleepers, now they do. The best trip that I ever had. Long one, Vancouver to Toronto. Was in Toronto a day and a half, then went back to...

    Hi, Traveling in August. Will be in car 1430 (north bound) and 1130 (sound bound). Roomette 9 both ways. Really doesn't matter, but I want to know what side the room is. The Sleeping car virtual tour site doesn't answer my question.

    Anaheim Amtrak Station

    The South Bound tracks are the tracks closest to the Anaheim Stadium. You will need to go underground (under the tracks) and up stairs (or a ramp) up to the North Bound Tracks. Hope this helps

    Dessert Wind

    Been on that train about 5 times. The first two, I was doing a circle trip starting from Los Angeles going through Grand Junction Colorado, back to Truckee, Ca. The last two times was going to Las Vegas. It was kind of sad leaving for Los Angeles knowing that the train was going away. Still...

    Dig-E-Players no longer available on Amtrak trains

    Just used it on the Coast Starlight in August. Wasn't that thrilled with it. It was hard to watch (too small of the screen). Hard to find plugs to plug it in (except in the room). The headphones were terrible. Couldn't keep it around my ears. Used my own one.

    24

    I was there at Union Station when they were filming 24. My mother and I was leaving on the Coast Starlight that morning. Very interesting to watch what they were doing. I have been a fan of 24 ever since that day.
