Build new tracks for dedicated high-speed lines stretching from New York/Washingyon to Los Angeles/San Francisco (and points in between) as well as New York/Washington to Miami and points in between. Also, I thought of high-speed links between PHX/LAX/LAS would be awesome and the land and demand...

I posted this link last week... but anyway the writer said while on the LSL they were able to connect to a signal on the train called "iTrain" but weren't able to connect to the net, but were connected to the signal. Anyone know what's that about...

They really are pure gold! So beautifully written and make me want to jump on the next train that I can. Here you go... US by train: the rail way to see America http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/hubs/gre...ee-America.html Family of Strangers on the Sunset Limited...

Anyone know Anton who works the dining car on the SWC? He's the steward.... a really great guy who makes the whole dining car even more of a pleasurable place to be in... full of life and wit! Joan, Nina, Anton, Henry, and others have made my 3 trips on the SWC unforgettable!

Nice to see another a.net member here! I love both planes and trains, but trains are more seducing. You'll often see pro-rail posts on a.net, but there are those who still insist flying is the only way to go nowadays.

Just got off the CL tonight (9/21) in WAS from CHI. The dining car was the new style with the LED lights at the table and overhead. Also had new blue leather seating. The omelets in the morning were EXCELLENT (cooked freshly, not precooked like on the SWC the day before). Also the Flat Iron...

1) NEW SUPERLINERS ASAP... MODERN & GREEN! I think you can get more people on the train if you get rid of the parlor car frumpy stuff and go with a fresh new look like IKEA or a Swiss designed interior with soft woods and very modern stainless steel touches and neutral / warm colors for fabric...

By interlining do you mean connecting passengers to the Capitol Limited from the inbound SWC? Or Do you mean using the inbound SWC equipment for the departing Capitol Limited? Reason I ask is because this Friday I'm taking the SWC and connecting to the Capitol Limited to WAS, and that's how...

According to Amtrak's website... I'm scheduled to travel on the SWC this Friday FLG-CHI. Will the tracks be open by then? Or should I look at re-booking now? September 14, 2008 11:00 am CDT   The remnants of Hurricane Ike have been dumping heavy rains on the states of Illinois, Iowa...

SWC # 4 is now 8 hours late.. not expected in until 11:17pm CT Anyone know what's up?

What's up with the SWC today? #4 is expected 6-7 hours late into CHI tonight! Anyone know why? Also, what route was this train supposed to operate when it go into CHI?

We just booked 4 tickets in Sleeper on Amtrak cross-country. I could have easily gotten a discount on some of the tickets, but being honest is the best policy. I like having a clear conscience.

Well, after spending 7 months in Arizona my parents decided they DO NOT want to buy a house here and that they miss the East Coast (Rhode Island) where we are from. So, we're moving back in mid-September after we get back from a summer trip to Europe. It took some convincing, but I managed to...
