Thanks - I wasnt sure myself and then picked it up on website - will update

A visit on the Inverness Sleeper before its retired and replaced with the new stock... Again big thanks to those who helped & advise (especially for the upcoming trip to Florida) full diary below https://notesfromthebarn.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/the-caledonian-express-to-inverness.html

Yes a great guy... He was announcing just after we set off from Chicago how in the morning and afternoon after he would be taking some time to point out areas of interest and nature. Sadly breaking the journey in Memphis meant we didnt get that.

First a thanks for all the info from this site as we planned the trip.. Just some pics and diary from the actual trip http://notesfromthebarn.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/chicago-memphis-new-orleans-anaheim-day.html

Only 1 day till our first trip.. Do I hand the cases in at Amtrak Passenger Services or do I proceed straight to the Metropolitan Lounge as we have a bedroom.. Just to recheck as well.. Our trip is in two stages on the CONO (we are leaving the train at Memphis for a night then re boarding the...

Mystery solved (I just recieved a new tkt email from Amtrak).. Looks like the Train stays in and leaves Memphis 90mins later than originally.. As we are splitting the journey in Memhis this raises another ? Will we be able to stop on board for breakfast or a lie in before we get off in Memphis :)

IM confused.. I have been watching the 59 "City of New Orleans" on the Amtrak tracking map to see if it had continued running past Jackson (as we have a trip on this booked).. It would appear that since Tuesday all is fine and back to normalish... However what I don't get is why (after Memphis)...

Have to agree.. If this was the UK it would take 6 months to schedule a meeting just to discuss how to go about fixing the issue ;)

Thx Obs

According to the Amtrak train track map (which from viewings yesterday simply shuts down once 59 reaches Jackson) it seems to be running as normal today..

Taking this in a cpl of weeks breaking in Memphis before rejoining.. Lets hope it gets further than Jackson

Amtrak state the 29th as the last day it turns in Jackson.. As another question why cant they run as far as Hammond anyway?
