Tried opening that on my Mac using Safari. Could not open it at all.

Thanks for the help...I've booked my trip at the low bucket fare for each (north/south) leg of the trip.

I'll be headed from Florida to Pennsylvania and back in mid-July, and I'd like to take the AutoTrain. I'd like to get a roomette or bedroom without paying high bucket for it. Is there a "best" time to purchase sleeper AutoTrain tickets for travel in July, or should I just go ahead and make my...

Along with the above suggestions, don't forget to do some eagle watching out the left side of the EB between St Paul and La Crosse, especially around Red Wing. Bald eagles winter there thanks to the open water spots on the upper Mississippi River (which RW has plenty of, thanks to the Cannon...

A great small town served by the EB is Red Wing, Minnesota, on the upper Mississippi River...westbound EB arrives just before 9 pm (Central time), eastbound EB arrives about 12 hours later (just before 9 am)...find out more about Pretty Red Wing at http://redwing.org

No matter what time of the year that you take the EB, be sure to do some eagle watching between LaCrosse, Wisconsin and St Paul, Minnesota especially along the upper Mississippi River near Red Wing, Minnesota. In the winter, there are literally dozens that can be seen roosting in the trees...

Now 8 (6) is running into serious lateness....it was only 58 minutes late leaving Wolf Point, MT, then it departed from its next stop, Williston, ND 3 hours 10 minutes late...and it was then 7 hours 38 minutes late leaving the stop after that, Stanley, ND. At last report, 8(6) left Minot, ND at...

One restaurant on the Wolverine line--and near the Troy Transit Center, where the Wolverine stops--is the Big Rock Chop House, a steakhouse located in the building which had been the Grand Trunk passenger station in Birmingham for many years.

Per the Amtrak status map, no EB's are running today (2/6)...both 7's and both 8's are listed as having a service disruption.

Is there any chance that the ex-Western Pacific route through the Feather River canyon (the route of the original California Zephyr) could be used as a detour while the mainline over Donner Summit is closed?

Oh joy! Now I can get groped by TSA thugs at an Amtrak station, after "anomalies" are found by the body scanner, the same way the ones at Tampa International Airport find "anomalies" (resulting in the TSA's groping me in public) EVERY TIME that I fly from there. Every damn time.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Matthew follows the red track on the above map...it looks like i may get some rain, at least (which will be no problem!)

Just noticed that Hurricane Matthew is now brewing in the Caribbean, and its long-term forecast shows it making a turn toward Florida sometime Saturday or Sunday. This coming weekend, I'm booked on the Auto Train...I leave SFA tomorrow, en route to a HS reunion near Philly on Saturday night...

If you're in the SSL white it's snowing...especially when crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains...it's almost like being inside a snow globe!

Here's an item from today's Chicago Sun-Times about CUS, and how pieces of it fell on METRA commuters this morning. Will the roof cave in over Amtrak passengers next? Here's the link: http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/steinberg-union-station-falling-down-on-commuters-heads/
