I've got a short hop planned for tomorrow (Sat, Jul 7) from SLC to Grand Junction. So when just checking to see how things were moving today, I saw the California Zephyr is way off schedule in Salt Lake City. On Amtrak's "track your train" map, the 6 is shown off route and is near a town called...

I've got a trip coming up next week that includes a red-eye from Salt Lake to DC (DCA airport) via Charlotte, then I get on the Cardinal (coach) to Staunton VA for two days and then back on the Cardinal (roomette) to Chicago for another couple of days before taking the Zephyr home (sleeper)...

Just wanted to grumble a little bit, as I love the Zephyr and am glad that it provides a modicum of long distance service to my city (Salt Lake). But: "Denver Noise Fest" is this weekend and I got a hankering to take the #6 Zephyr to Denver on Saturday to catch the second night of it and see...

I found this thread when looking for any mentions of Thurmond WV, that goes into best side for views and such on the Cardinal. But that thread is from the 2013/2014 and about train #50 (eastbound). I'm heading Westbound in May and am really looking forward to seeing the Gorge and I'd love to be...

It should get into DCA by 9AM and the flight has a good on-time...

I've been idly tracking the status for when the California Zephyr #5 comes in to Salt Lake, as the station is pretty close to my house and the train passes by just a couple of blocks away. And I'm interested in doing another trip this fall. I've noticed that the Zephyr has been pretty much...

I'm departing out of the Clearwater/St Pete bus station on Sunday to connect with the Silver Meteor in Orlando. I didn't expect the station/stop/whatever to have any services but was pleasantly surprised to see it listed as doing checked baggage. But then I looked at the "Hours" page and Sunday...

I know there's a lot of track work going on in Florida and North Carolina that are affecting the Silver Star, and Amtrak has a page for it in their "Service Alerts and Notifications" page. I'm scheduled to take the Silver Meteor (98) from Orlando (after bussing in from St Pete) northbound in the...
