You can buy tickets for a trip eleven months in advance of the departure date, but what time do these tickets actually become available? Is it midnight (eastern time, I'd assume, but I don't like to assume), or another, later time? Or is it exactly eleven months out, as in, if the train leaves...

Is this allowed? I'm not looking to do it, but someone I know is asking if it's possible. She is planning to take the Empire Builder next year but is debating whether to end in Portland or Seattle. If she takes the ticket to Portland and during the trip decides she'd rather go to Seattle, is...

I'm planning to go to San Diego from NJ later this year, and am considering taking the train. I'm also considering stopping in Grand Junction, Colorado, along the way. Assuming I do this, I would arrive at GJT around 4:00 pm one day, and then the train to continue my trip would come about a...
