    Wi Fi on CONO?

    Does the CONO have WiFi? I know when we were on the SW Chief a couple of years ago they had Verizon MiFi in the sleepers. Does the CONO have it?

    Metropolitan Lounge Chicago

    We will be boarding the CONO out of Chicago and will have a sleeper car so I know we get to use the lounge going out. However coming back we are coming in on the CONO in a sleeper but are changing after a long layover to coach on the California Zephyr. Will we get to use the lounge for that...

    Southwest Chief Delays?

    Does anyone know why the Southwest Chief 3 was so delayed yesterday? Was it just weather? It left Chicago about a half hour late I think and by the time it reached Fort Madison it was almost 4 hours late. We're going next week out of Fort Madison. I hope it isn't delayed that much. Fort...

    Does the Southwest Chief go over the Pecos River High Bridge

    I was just looking over the route guide. I know the train goes over the river, but does it go over the high bridge? I'm just trying to mark some of the scenic highlights of the trip on the route guide.

    Southwest Chief

    For those of you with experience riding the SWC either 3 or 4, I understand seeing Raton pass is a highlight of the trip. I guessing the sightseer observation car will be very full during that time. How soon before the train reaches the pass should one stake out a seat in the sightseer...

    Baggage Question

    We will be taking the Southwest Chief from Fort Madison to Albuquerque. Both stations have checked baggage service. When we check in Albuquerque will we hand our checked bags over to the person checking us in or do we keep them and give them to our attendant? We have a Roomette. Do they go...

    Adding Member numbers to reservation

    Is there a way to add member numbers to an existing reservation without calling? My number is in there, but we have since set up numbers for my family and I need to add them so they get points.

    Menu on SW Chief

    I have seen people talk about an express menu for dinning and also a regular menu. Why would they use an express menu?

    Transportation out of Alvarado Transportation Center

    We will be arriving on the SW Chief in to ABQ on a Sunday. From what I can see the Railrunner shuttle to the Airport doesn't run on Sunday. We have a car rental with Hertz booked at the airport location because we got a great deal and because I don't trust the train to be on time and still...

    Southwest Chief

    On the SW Chief going west which side of the train has the best view? We have a roomette on each side of 330 but I want to pick the side with the best views if possible for my husband and myself. My teenage kids will have their faces burried in electronics and not being too interested in the...

    Dinner hours on SW Chief

    We will be boarding the SW Chief from FMD at 6:42 pm if it is on time. Is this early enough for a dinner reservation in the dinning car? We have roomettes.

    Coolers

    My family will be taking the SW Chief in June from FMD to ABQ. My husband is diabetic so he carries a small lunch box sized cooler with him for his insulin. I know that is no problem. However I was thinking I would bring something a little bigger instead so we can bring some pop and snacks...

    Car rental shuttles at the Albuquerque Amtrak Station?

    Do any of the car rental companies have shuttles that pick up and drop off at the Albuquerque Station or do we need to hop a cab to the airport?
