    Sunset Ltd. #2 (8/04) 14+ HRS Late in W.Texas

    We made it back just as scheduled. I loved the trip. I took lots of pics, loved the scenery. Husband did not enjoy most of the ride. We had people around us who made lots of noise and he couldn't sleep. Crinkling plastic bags, talking on phone, singing along with their music on the easy there...

    So many questions (H room, shipping, etc.)

    Wow, $200 each for coach, $400 for both in sleeper? Same price? It was $800 for our coach seats compared to $3000 for sleeper.

    Oh yeah, we had stuff. But like for the kids cereal, we couldn't buy any milk. We had lots of snacks though.

    I'm sure they stock the train there, to go back to New Orleans tonight. Either way we'll be eating breakfast lunch and dinner in LA

    Instead of arriving in Los Angeles at 5:30 am we'll be there closer to 9. The cafe has run out of all food and drinks except for coffee which they are giving free.

    Newbie traveling LFT - LAUS

    I tried to get us tickets for the Broad but they are all sold out. Supposedly if toy don't get them in advance it's a 2 hrs wait to get in, bc ticket holders get in first. So I guess we're skipping that.

    Oh ok. Well they said it all in one announcement today so it seemed like the two things went together. Never said anything like that yesterday after any stops.

    We live in Scott (2 mins outside Lafayette) and we are so close to the tracks our windows rattle!) We would have gotten to pass our horse on the way had we not been bustituted, but on the way back we should be able to!

    Standard to stop 3-4x saying sorry for the delay, we are having some engine problems?

    Yes, we stopped at both those.

    From what I understand they left the Antrak engine in Houston, and switched to a CST engine? Or something like that. But still they are saying there are "problems" and for us to be aware of emergency exits. I'm just taking it as them being super cautious.

    We boarded in Lafayette, but onto a Hotard bus instead of the train. We were bummed. And the station is "unstaffed" so there are only Greyhound employees there, who had no info for us and told us to call the 1-800 #. I was hung up on and put on hold several times, but the bus driver came in and...

    We just left Alpine TX and they've made several announcements about engine trouble, told us to read the emergency exit pamphlets at our seats, and said to hold on to arm rests and hand rails if things get too bumpy. We are supposed to be in El Paso at 1:22 but according to google maps we...
