Glad I found this message board. From the posts, looks like there are some very experienced train travelers here.
My first train travel was in 1959 on the California Zephyr. Was only 4 then, and don't remember much....other than getting my finger shut in a pneumatic door.
This Thanksgiving the wife and I are going Amtrak from Atlanta- New Orleans- El Paso. (RT) We're both looking forward to some relaxed travel. And if the train is late, it'll just give us more time to look around town. Here's a question- does Amtrak have a customer service # to check & see how late a certain train might be? I looked on the Amtrak site & searched this forum. Maybe I'd have to call the Amtrak station in that particular town?
I've been soaking up a lot of knowlege from this site. Hope you folks don't mind some simple questions.
Thanks!
