This seems to have started this past Monday, the 21st, and all bookable tickets on the website are showing this continues. Also, from Van Nuys, all stops are 6 minutes earlier until arrival in Martinez, where it has a 12 minute stop, putting it back to its original schedule (this train did not...

Los Angeles Union Station - southbound Coast Starlight #11 from Seattle on the right, eastbound Sunset Limited #2 to New Orleans (and Texas Eagle #422 to Chicago) on the left. 2/422 departed only a couple minutes after. I rode #11 from San Jose that day, got taquitos for dinner at Cielito...

Are there station codes for non-Amtrak stations that some Amtrak trains stop at? For example, Northridge and Downtown Burbank on the Pacific Surfliner, or L'Enfant Plaza on the Northeast Regional.

New Pacific Surfliner timetables effective October 25th. Amtrak hasn't published their's yet so I made my own by searching Amtrak's digital schedules tool. Several interesting things - Trains per day are 10 SAN-LAX, 4 LAX-GTA, 2 GTA-SLO (each 1 more than now), compared to 13, 5, 2 pre-COVID - A...

Because of the bridge work between SLO and SBA in August, an extra Surfliner is staying overnight at Goleta for morning trains 768 and 774. Does it have space to store 2 trains? I thought it only had 1 storage track.

How is the parking situation at the downtown Stockton station (this is the one on the Sacramento branch of the San Joaquin route, and where ACE stops)? I see two gated parking areas for the station, but how does the gate open to let cars in/out? I see that there's two parking lots right next to...

Double Days usually starts in mid-September, but I haven't gotten an email or announcement about it yet. Is it still happening this year? (Edited out 50% sale that I thought was for tickets)

Suppose I'm riding the eastbound CZ, and I'm turning around at Galesburg to get on the westbound CZ. If the eastbound is so late that I'd miss my connection there, would it be possible to modify my return trip from a earlier station (say, somewhere in Iowa) to make the connection there...

The new Transbay Terminal just opened yesterday. Multiple local bus operators are already using the place. Online diagrams show Amtrak/Greyhound operating out of their own bus bays on the 3rd floor. On a nearby small space on the 2nd floor, there was a Greyhound waiting room (not open yet) and...

Amtrak is advertising a Mother's Day sale for this weekend, but I can't figure out to do it. I'm testing a reserved train as it specified. I tried using a promo code I found on a 3rd party website, but that didn't work. The results always just show double the price of one person. Has anyone...

#7 is 15 hours late in clear weather, and #27 is 16 hours late in some snow. It looks like they were delayed while detouring in ND, but what were the other causes of the delays? Most Builders make it through the usual cold weather on time, so that shouldn't be the issue. Also, I'd have thought...

I rode the Coast Starlight 14 northbound with my family from Klamath Falls to Seattle on Independence Day (Wednesday July 4th), returning by 501 and 11 on Saturday the 7th. The previous day, we were at the Oregon Caves in southwestern Oregon, and stayed at the magnificent Chateau, opened in...

What if, for an early morning shift (say NE Regional 190 or Pacific Surfliner 759), one of the key employees like the engineer sleeps in and doesn't show up on time? I'd doubt there's just an idle engineer sitting around the station at 3 or 4am, and I don't know what else they'd do.

I'm dreaming/thinking/considering a trip to Bend using the bus from Chemult. What are some fun things to do around town besides the Deschutes River and the nearby Pilot Butte? I won't have a car then, so I can't go far outside of town. By the way, does Chemult have anything to do in it?

https://www.ridecabin.com/ There's now on overnight bus from LA to San Franfrisco at a moderate price. It's time for Amtrak to step it up and bring back the Spirit of California. Preferably from San Diego to Sacramento along the coastal route.

http://m.startribune.com/msp-loses-another-airline-flying-nonstop-to-chicago/489888221/ Maybe it's REALLY time now to set up some MSP-CHI corridor service (not at the expense of the EB). Only problem is Wisconsin.

I encountered an old thread (didn't bother to find it) that mentioned an overnight LAX-LVS, then daytime to Idaho, then overnight to Portland train. LAX 11:10pm 7:15am LVS 6:10a/6:30a 10:30p/11:15p SLC 4:00p/4:20p 2:40p/3:00p Boise 12:10am 6:30am Pendleton 6:25am...

This might be another case of bad communication on Amtrak's part. For the past 3 days, train #14 has been held at Klamath Falls until 11am (regardless of arrival time). Usually, something like this would be on the alerts page or the train description page, but it's not. The new Amtrak Alerts...
