    Parking In Kingston, RI

    Shows free to park at Wickford Junction here: https://mbta.com/stops/Wickford%20Junction I would also keep in mind that Wickford Junction is 1.5 hours via mbta vs 1 hour on Amtrak to Kingston.

    NEC NYP-BOS, LSL BOS Section Cancelled Tue 3/13

    Seems like this alert is a little premature and lacking specifics in timeframe. The 3rd Noreaster in 2 weeks isn't scheduled to impact the Boston area until midnight tonight. Seeing lots of on-time trains currently operating between NYP-BOS. I would guess this alert is intended for the morning...

    Im guessing reusing the seats with new cushions represents substantial cost savings.

    Amfleet I Interior Refresh

    Interested to see how this effects the Club Cafe seats which are quite different than the Amfleet I Coach and Business class seats. They have leg rests in addition to the footrests and the 2-1 layout.

    SLC Amtrak to airport at 3am, arriving by CZ

    Ah, thats a tough spot. If you were delayed and willing to walk to the North Temple Bridge station (0.8 mile) and the first green line train to the airport is at 6:06am.

    SLC Amtrak to airport at 3am, arriving by CZ

    If you're delayed TRAX (light rail) starts around 5:45am on weekdays and 6:30am on weekends, I'd give that a try, the Blue line is right outside the Amshack (Salt Lake Central) North to Arena, and switch to the Green Line which will take you to the Airport and its only $2.50...

    Advice for Boston/Portland please

    Downeaster 683 (weekdays) leaves BON at 1:05 pm and 693 (weekends) leaves BON at 12:10pm. This should be plenty of time to connect from BBY. It looks like the 11:35am time you got is from the 681 arrival time in Portland.

    Rental cars at PDX

    We used Zipcar across the pedestrian bridge on the other side of the station. The price is a bit higher but it includes gas and the convenience to get in and go, no waiting in line and no paperwork, it is worth it to me.

    LSL boston sleepers?

    Happy to have a thru roomette for our Boston-Chicago trip at the end of December. Now if only we could get the Portland-style catered box lunches like they have on the Empire Builder. Though I suppose with the departure time if we're not happy with the minimal menu...

    LSL boston sleepers?

    Eastbound Boston sleeper slated to return on 10/24 and westbound sleeper starts on 10/26 according to ARROW. What's also interesting is starting on those dates there are Business class options now available. I'm guessing a Club Cafe on 448/449?

    Coupon Trade?

    I have a 12 hour upgrade coupon that expires on 10/10 (though 10/10 is a blackout date so best to travel by 10/9). Wondering if anyone would be willing to trade a club Acela pass for it that expires 11/7 or later? Thanks.
