I was mistaken. There was a dome car on the Hiawatha when I traveled on it. I didnt see it till I got off in Chicago. My mistake.

On the Hiawatha now...dont think there is a dome. :(

I do know that when booking my recent trip on the train that when I looked at it 8 months prior to travel fay, price was 980.00 round trip. When I eventually got around to buying the tix, about 2 months prior, the trip jumped to 1508.00. Looking at 9 months from now for another trip, and the...

So, what is the dome car and is it on every Hiawatha train that runs between Milwaukee and Chicago? HF

Thanks for the info. Called Amtrak and was told that it SHOULD make the connection. They have been holding the Pennsy these days if it is a close connection. Lady who was absolutely great to talk to, was also very forthcoming about the delays. Would not go into what the "Service Disruption"...

Thanks. Anyone know the reason for the CL #30 delay after Elkhart, IN? Looks like it got to Pittsburg 2.5 hours late? My faith in making my connection to the Pennsy on the morning of the 26th is not that good....may want to change tix to go thru WAS to Philadelphia. HF

Where again can you find the times/delays for the past month? I knew a website but im drawing a blank right now.

Thanks! I was wondering if they were going to keep their word. Looks like they have! HF

Alright CL watchers! IT has hit the dates that AMTRAK said they would put the SSL back in the CL lineup. Any Verification? Sightings? With a trip coming next week for me, I want the SSL. Sorry just being honest. HF

AMTRAK, when I went on a rant about removing the SSL, sent me a message both on here (Read back) and on my Twitter Acct stating that by the 20th of November, the SSL will be reinstated for the line. Now I called BS on this and questioned them on if they were going to make this temporary...

Walker has a lot of irons in the fire, but the High Speed Rail they tried to put in from Milwaukee to Madison was full of holes and not one he wanted to keep in the fire. Talking to family who lived along the route, it would not have stopped at some places, unless the city or village PAID for...

Barciur, Would be interested in a connection report from you when you travel. Save travels!

The city of brotherly love! In fact going to see my brother who lives in Allentown. So Pennsy gets in mid afternoon to Philly. I looked at taking the CL to Wash DC and then to Philly, and it got in at about dinner time. Further, price increase was a lot more compared to taking the Pennsy...

This is indeed an excellent topic. I am scheduled for the CL to the Pennsy coming up soon. THat is my concern is making the connection. I called AMTRAK and the gent who I spoke with said one of three things will happen: 1. They will bus you to the next station if there is time to catch the...

OH! Figured out my issue, I think when I searched I spelled Pennsylvania wrong...thus limited returns. Thanks again for all the help. HF

Ok, Wrong section of the board. Found them on the trip reports area. But in not sounding like a total knucklehead, I did search, and the four I found were kinda old. Fell free to delete thread. THX

With a future trip planned on the Pennsylvanian, anyone want to do a review of the trip? How is the seating? Coach vs Business Class? Amenities? Searched for similar threads, and most recent one was 2011. Thoughts, experiences, late arrival info, etc.. would be appreciated! HF

I have been hearing that it is hit or miss on the 29 or the 30 having a SSL. Looks like the times are working their way down to manageable lateness. Any word on types of cars the 29 and 30 were rolling today? HF

Ms AmtrakBlue, Yes I have read the thread, the whole thread. Actually it is why i was directed to this thread when i put in to GOOGLE "Capitol Limited train delays." I understand that's the answer Amtrak is giving. By nixing one car it is supposed to help improve the timeliness of the trains...

GUEST PETE M3: Question since you rode it today: If the SSL had the bar for cocktails and social talk with new friends found on train, does the CCC compare to that? From your description this seems to be a big bust. Amtrak saying it will help with on time efficiency, but maybe with the time...
