    Segment canceled; what do to

    Booked SAN-LAX connecting to Southwest Chief for CHI for January 14, 2017 using points. Looked at reservation and the SAN-LAX portion has been canceled. First of all, I wonder when they were going to tell me about this. No alternative showing. Going to call reservations and see what they...

    Rewards booking - room selection

    I want to make a Guest Rewards booking. The question I have is should I make it on-line or should I call to talk to an agent. I was about to make the booking on-line at the Guest Rewards site, but it did not show the room/car number before I clicked 'make booking'. I've heard that it's...

    "Tardy" Empire Builder

    Just saw that today the EB is getting into Chicago about 6 -7 hours late. Probably because of the big snows in the upper Midwest. Arrival time is expected to be around 10 pm (instead of scheduled 3:55pm). My question is, "Would the diner stay open for dinner?" Wonder if sleeping car...

    Breakfast on Texas Eagle

    Hi; Thinking of taking the T.E. from Chi. to LVW and was wondering if I decide to pay for a roomette, if I'd get breakfast before getting to Longview, TX. Since this is for a family vacations, I'm pondering if the cost for the roomette is worth if it all we get is dinner. Being only one...

    Changing Roomette number

    Booked travel using AGR and was assigned Roomette #12. Looked it up and saw that was on the lower level. Wondered if there was a good way to find out if roomettes on the upper level become available and if so, will they make just that change? I don't like the idea of calling in everyday. Any...

    Three in a Bedroom

    I'd like to make a booking - probably using AGR points - to have 3 adults in a bedroom. From what I've read on this board, I think it is a valid amount for the bedroom. However, with the size of the 3 adults I'm referring to - me included - I know we could never get all three of us to sleep in...

    Would Purchased AGR points expire?

    My wife has under 50 AGR points. I think they might expire at anytime since her account shows no paid travel since 8/12/2008. I did transfer 1,000 of her points to my account this year so her account shows only that activity for 2011. Now I'm thinking of buying 10,000 points with the 3,000...

    Sleepers on EB

    I was just wondering how many sleepers on on train 8 during December. Had been booked in car 830 and then changed it to be previous day and it was car 831. Do they use different car numbers on different days or are there two sleepers (not counting the sleeper from PDX)?

    Pacific Parlour Car meals

    One of the nice things about train travel is being seating with others in the dining car and meeting interesting (one way or another) people. Recently, my wife and I took the Coast Starlight and chose to have one of our meals in the Pacific Parlour Car. It was a different menu and a different...

    Status of Texas Eagle

    Hi; I was just checking the status of the Texas Eagle between Bloomington, IL. and Chicago, today. Aren't trains TE#322, TE#422, and TE#22 all the same train. If so, why do you think there is a 15 minute discrepancy between when those three trains arrive in Chicago? Maybe the first car going...

    Silver Star vs. Silver Meteor

    Any difference in ON BOARD services and Sleeper accommodations between the Silver Star and Silver Meteor? I'd be traveling between Florida and Washington, DC and see that one leaves about 3 hours later. On the return, is one better for on-time performance than the other?
