My big concern is a decent train station for Salt Lake City, They have a new Intermodal Station for bus and light rail but they still have the "shack" they are using (I think). A miserable solution that I had to endure a few years ago. It was supposed to be temporary but Amtrak website is not...
This is not a reply to above but a question about the Martinez Station that is a CS stop. I will be catching the CS at Martinez in July for San Luis Obispo. Can I leave my car at the station parking lot for several days and is there a charge? Thanks.
Wonderful to hear your age of 93 Mr Beasley and riding AMTRAK! I'm 86 (fairly good health too) and planning a trip on AMTRAK from St Paul to East Glacier. And on to Seattle on the EB.
Thanks for information on Kalispell. One final question: This might seem like a dumb question for someone like myself who has experience with Amtrak trains being late. What is the likelihood of a delay on the Builder going from Seattle to East Glacier and the reverse trip?
Sorry to change the subject but I have a question: Next year my wife and I are planning to fly to Kelispell from SFO. Then somehow get to Glacier Lodge (East), stay 3 days and then take the Builder to Seattle. The question is, how do I get to Glacier Lodge from Kelispell? Anyone know? Thanks.

Thanks for the information John. I know that if States chip in some money and cooperate with the Feds things go well. I understand AMTRAK is getting a boost this year money wise. Hopefully they can repair infrastructure and get some new train sets. Even so, freight is a big problem for on...
