I’m sitting here at the Vets office on the Nipomo Mesa about 20 miles south of San Luis Obispo. I just saw what I think was the Coast Starlight cruise by that had a blue rail car on the back end. The only thing I could think of was that it looked like the old Pacific Parlor Car. Are these back...
On the Surfliner from Grover Beach to Burbank right now in Business; never saw the attendant and evidently they’ve done away with the snack boxes, too.
Ha! Good thing we're on 14. Only bad part is it's almost an hour late into SBA and I doubt it's going to make that up by the time it gets to SLO where we jump on...
Still shows on time to OKJ. Yeah, really.
Looking forward to the cruise. Haven't been on a ship for 10 years. I've missed it...
Thank you! That's exactly what we needed to know. I think we'll just load them on the sleeper downstairs bin and take them off ourselves; it seems like this would save time vs waiting for baggage.
My wife and I are taking the Coast Starlight connecting at Oakland Jack London for Fisherman’s Wharf for a 10-day cruise the next day. While there’s bag service in Oakland to get our bags off the CS, Amtrak can’t tell us for sure if they will put our bags on the connecting bus. Fisherman’s Wharf...
Just to be clear, we could earn points on the Sapphire card and transfer them to AGR? And while it may end someday, it's still an option?
Edit: I see what you're saying about the 40,000 points. I forgot we get that bonus after the $4,000 spend in the first 3 months. I always have a flurry of...
It was the $95 a year Sapphire Preferred card (free for the first year). I'm starting to travel a lot more for my business and it looked like a more full-featured offering. I know BA doesn't give a **** but I put all my business expenses on the Chase AGR card. Probably between $7k and $12k per...
Wife and I both got denied by BA. So we both applied and got Chase Sapphire cards instead and will use the Sapphire card on our travels to burn up the 180,000 Chase AGR points we accumulated over the past 18 months. So BA can suck it.
Are you seriously making the argument that people ride Amtrak because of the hamburgers?
That brings to mind "The Holy Grail": "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

Just curious: at what point should Amtrak be forced to stand or fall on its own?
Because if Amtrak is paying $16 for a hamburger they sell for $9.50, its problems are unsolvable.

It doesn't happen by magic, it happens through accountability and competition—neither of which the govt is subject to.
Moderators: Is this one innocuous enough to pass the test?

I'm talking about the guy who disparaged two companies that employ hundreds of thousands of people moving millions of packages daily and that still manage to make a profit without a govt hammock to support them.
The post was there. Whether it got removed or not isn't the issue. The issue, which...
