#3 (9/23?) lost 9 hours and is now 10+ late. I have been on the SWC when it was 11 hours late but it was a late start that just grew. This seems like a major issue to loose 9 hours in the short distance between two stations. Info??? that late trip.....@ Raton

I make the trip from WV to So Cal once a year. And each year I write about the entire trip. 8 days of my travel are on Amtrak trains but I also write about my travel in general. I do this for my self, friends and family but do like to share. It's long and covers trains, cars etc. Thanks just...

#4 has been late so much of late.....and I will ride soon and HOPE to connect with Cardinal home. Three hours late at Flagstaff is not comforting. BTW you miss the Cardinal and Amtrak puts you up for 2 days in Chicago right???

I make this trip each year.....on my 6th year this year. But there is always something new each trip. Leaving next week from WSS to LA Union station. This year I am going to try Business class on the Cardinal over the norm Roomette. Then back to roomette on SWC. What can I expect in Business...

I do this each trip. All travel 'logs' or reports are on the site with links to photos. My reports are NOT 100% Amtrak but my entire trip in whole. I do this for myself more than anything but I am constantly surprised how many read it. Thanks!!! Link below photo.....then click on Dave's 2016...

I am looking around at trains for my annual trip from WV to SoCal. Using a site to compare costs on different days I noted the Cardinal is always more than any other trains all things considered. I know the 3 days a week means they can charge more but if less than a full day on the Cardinal is...

I am cleaning out my garage to make room to actually park a car in there!! One box I found my Amrak ticket from July 1974 from Los Angeles Union to Davis Ca. I bought the ticket two days before departure.....not sure if pricing varied like it does today.......but my two day advance ticket was...

I've been on the SWC when it runs late. Going West not a big deal. We were 8 hours plus getting into Fullerton Jan 2015. Not a huge issue. But I always fear being very late East bound. I have to meet the Cardinal and as it's only 3 times a week miss the connection.....big issue. Any one know...

#51 was 35 minutes late into WSS.....not to bad all things considered. To my surprise when I opened the laptop Wi-Fi was working. So I started writing as I always do and just as fast it stooped working. Came back up this morning at about 6:30. We have made up most of the time.....the big lay...

My last trip cross country was Jan 2015 and I know the Metro lounge has changed. Where is it now?? I found a few PR photos and it looks nice....first hand review??? How about Wi-Fi on SWC or Cardinal??? Any new equipment on either train?? Aren't new Bi-levels coming for the SWC?? THANKS FOR...

Below is a link to my trip report on my January trip from WSS to FUL California via Cardinal and SWC. It also includes a side trip from FUL to San Diego Old TOwn on the Surfliner. Overall a great trip. A frozen open coach door, frozen water on Superliners and jelled diesel fuel...

Hello all, As you can see I'm new here. I am not new to Amtrak or passenger rail travel. Coming from a rail family I have traveled this way all my life. Over the past two years I have rode WSS to LA twice....and written about it. I call the writings 'logs' as I hate the term blog. They are...
