We are taking the SWC from ABQ to LAX on Wednesday and the CS from LAX to SEA on Thursday. Right now we are set up w/ Roomettes, but I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade on the SC to a bedroom. I posted a question the other day about whether or not they might serve a turkey dinner and...

Planning to take the SWC from ABQ to LAX on Saturday. I notice that it's been running late most of the week. I suspect this is due to weather up at Raton Pass. Can anyone verify this? We are in for snow tonight through most of the day tomorrow, but then clearing and all weather out of that...

i'm a little confused..will we go through the cascades in the day time?

We are thinking of taking the SWC from ABQ to LAX then Coast Starlight to...well, not sure where. Want to take the train up the coast. Will get roomettes. Notice it then travels up the middle of CA on it's way to Seattle. Would like to see the Cascades from the train, perhaps? Any suggestions...

oh dear. we sure don't want to be stranded in the middle of the night. what company is the van associated w/? Perhaps I should call ahead and discuss this w/ them?

sorry if this post shows up twice, didn't seem to "take" first time. Hubby and I are planning a trip from ABQ to Laughlin, NV later this month. Notice that we get off the train in Kingman and take a bus into Laughlin. Would like advise about this transfer both going out and coming back. Thanks!
