    A geeky mileage question

    Does anyone know where I can find the mileage between stations? It used to be in the timetable and printed cards but that's no more. Or if anyone has the specific routing I'm looking for, that would be great too. I'm traveling 2151-NYP-WAS, 29-WAS-CHI, and 5-CHI-DEN. Thanks!

    Two Million Point Promotion

    That would have been really cool and it would have made for some good publicity! I am going to go with 220 points per person. 3 more days till I go RHI-ORL... Can't wait! Cheers

    Favorite Amtrak Route?

    I'll throw my vote to the Empire Corridor in autumn. There is NOTHING that beats the Hudson River Valley with the bright colors! Cheers! John

    I applied with Amtrak today.

    Good luck to you! I recently applied for a Passenger Engineer position in New Haven and Boston. Not that I really think I have a snowball's chance....but the worst thing that could happen is they say no. I've got to try. Cheers!

    Upcoming #6 trip

    Well the wife and I are going to leave the kids behind and get away for 2 days. Her only requirements are that she wants a stress free trip someplace and not to be stranded in an airport (We got stuck in ABQ airport last year for our annual escape from the kids). So we will fly from Denver to...

    Amtrak Jobs

    Thanks Battalion. I'm thinking about a career change (in airlines now). I have a good job where I am but I can relocate and start as an a/c for a little less money. That's why I was curious about "promotional" opportunities...to get me back where I'm at as quickly as possible financially. I...

    Amtrak Jobs

    How quickly can a motivated a/c make conductor? Also, I assume that engineers come from the conductor ranks? What is the general time frame for that if one is interested? Cheers! n2qmt

    On board sleeper purchase?

    I'd like to add a question to this thread...I'm looking to upgrade on #91 NYP-ORL on 9/2. Right now, a Standard is going for $297.00. Where is this price in relation to the overall price structure? Is there a chance of finding a room onboard to upgrade into for this trip at this time of year...

    Zephyr to detour through Wyoming

    Hello all! Living, in Cheyenne, I'm looking forward to seeing Amtrak up here. Does anyone know whose line they will detour on from Denver to Cheyenne before heading west? If they use the UP line that parallels US85, they *could* make a stop in Cheyenne at the depot downtown. This is on the...
