    # 6 CZ (2/25-27)

    Wow, Thanks! I never saw the other thread so that answers my question. Momof5, thanks for the updates. I hope your ride is going well other than being late!

    # 6 CZ (2/25-27)

    So I've been watching the CZ lines on the Amtrak Status map because I'll be taking my trip in less than 2 weeks (Yay!) and noticed this morning that the #6 had disappeared from the map after Omaha. I know it was running really late as of last night because of line repairs near Granby, but it's...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Thanks for the number for Yellow cab and the estimate. I've been waffling back and forth about whether I should choose the bus or the cab and I think I'm just going to go with the cab no matter what time I get in. I'll be using the Metro throughout the rest of my stay to get to interviews and...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Thanks, I'll be sure to write down all of the suggestions and directions so I won't get lost. Thanks for the warning about the elevator, that will not be a pleasant smell so I'll remember to hold my breath while in it. Hopefully, I can hold it that long.

    What do you like to wear overnight on the train?

    Cowgirl hat AND a construction vest, what a combination!!! I would dearly love to see that! :lol: Yeah, I'll probably end up wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt and maybe the thermals under it if it's really cold. I'm just always curious about what other people wear.

    California Zephyr vs Empire Builder

    Going on the Zephyr, you would be in Denver around 7AM and can usually see the front range of the Rockies from there. Then you hit Granby at 1037AM, which is well into the mountains. You then reach Grand Junction, CO about 4PM which is near the Utah state line. So you would be able to see the...

    What do you like to wear overnight on the train?

    On my last trip in Dec I just used my Under Armour thermals that I wear underneath my regular clothes (gotta love the WY winter). However, that is not what I can wear while riding in coach (which is my next trip in early March) or things just might get awkward with my seatmate. :ph34r: So I...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Alan, thanks for the advise about the pedestrian bridge. I will take that over to the buses. Yeah, if the train doesn't come in until 12, I'm just going to bite the bullet and take a cab. But I will definitely be taking the bus from the hotel to the station for my departure.

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Blue Marble, thanks for the link. I'll probably end up using the bus then because the bus hub is actually across the street from my hotel (Camlin). That would be better on my wallet also. I'm trying to determine whether it's feasible for me to travel in coach for LD on the way up from SAC to...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Well, the DST is when you "spring" forward so we lose an hour. When it's 2AM the clock changes to 3AM so I just wondering how they deal with it. I guess they could just say that the train is running an hour late at that point. It's not really going to affect anything that much but I was just...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Thanks for all the advise. I'll end up departing from Denver and getting the roomette in SLC. I decided to just stay in SAC because I think it would just make things more complicated. Since I couldn't book it online and I don't trust things to get to my place (I live in WY), I thought it...

    Error 503s

    From what I've read so far I'm going to need a lot of patience. I guess I lucked out on my first trip and only had one problem and that was the train being 2.5 hours late but I knew to expect it to be late so no big deal. My return trip, however, was right on time coming into Denver and I...

    Error 503s

    Yeah, never mind. It started to work about 20 minutes after I posted it. :blush: I was just a little impatient because I didn't want till tomorrow and the price go up on me like it did since yesterday. I really need to work on the impatient part.

    Error 503s

    So I was trying to book my trip and I kept getting messages that I was using the backfront buttons incorrectly (I was using their's so I don't know). :huh: I had to go back and start again and which point the error 503s came up said "Sorry for th incovenience. Currently there is a system...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Well, I decided I’m smart if this works. I didn’t want to start my trip in Denver b/cI wanted the roomette and it was going to cost a lot more. Well, I got to thinking and I decided to bookmy trip in Denver by making segment 1 from Denver to SLC in coach, since Idoubt I will not be going to...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    I have never heard about it connecting fromEmeryville, but that would be a good idea. I’ll look into that because that does sound better than waiting aroundfor 10 hours. I’m quite thankful about the power beingthere. And thanks for advice about movingif it doesn’t work. I’m usually...

    Questions: trip to the NW

    Okay, I've been on a LD Amtrak train before. I took a trip between Nov 30 and Dec 5 from Denver to Chicago and back on the Zephyr for my brother's wedding. I stayed in a roomette and had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. Now I'm taking a trip from SLC to PDX and then to SEA...
