    Coach seats on LD trains

    I personally cannot sleep while sitting even on this wide and spacious reclining seats with ample leg room. Here you can walk trough the train or jump directly by a folding menu (after initial loading) to the coach car as an interactive 360º panorama...

    Bad Experience on Amtrak

    It is for sure not the best experience when you get stuck on your first Rail Trip. As already explained there are many reasons beyond the power of Amtrak. Well you can get also stuck on the highways, where are you going to complain and ask for "refund".???? In any case I prefer to get stuck...

    Portable TV in Rommette

    I don't know how the DVB-T (Terrestrial Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting) is in the USA? But even in completely DVB-T covered Germany you can forget about trying to watch TV on your laptop when traveling on train. Now imagine to be in remote areas of Arizona or Utah ...

    Traveling with a disabled mother

    I think it is feasible. As she is accompanied she should never walk alone. For a long trip I would suggest to book at least a roomette. Either on the lower level, then restrooms and showers are on same level as well as the train entrance and food could be brought from the dining car. Or...

    Weight limits on upper berths in Superliner Sleepers

    The link changed to http://www.kaemena360.net/FS/USA/Roomette/ because my old domain will be shut down soon. Even better would be to view all accommodations on a Superliner here in the complete tour: http://www.kaemena360.com/360/AmtrakSuperlinerTour/ or in this special tour consisting...

    Directions Chicago Union Station to museums

    Thank you for pointing me to that naming issue. Sure I meant Metra Electric running along the "South Shore" :rolleyes: here is the relevant schedule for you to get easy and smart directly to the Museum which is next to the Metra Station "55th -56th-57th Street"...

    Directions Chicago Union Station to museums

    You could take the south shore Metra also from the next station, which is Van Buren, http://www.360cities.net/profile/willy-kaemena/image/chicago-metra-station-van-buren-usa much nicer than Randolph Street, because van Buren was beautifully restored. In any case have a South Shore line...

    SWC vs.CZ

    I prefer to be independent ;-) hate to be a prisoner of road traffic, oil and highway lobby. http://www.360cities.net/image/san-francisco-bart-metro-rapid-transit-usa#101.75,2.30,75.0

    SWC vs.CZ

    Another suggestion would be to step out a few minutes before Emeryville in Richmond. There you have direct access to BART which will whisk you over to SanFrancisco. It might bring you much nearer to your destination, as the thru bus has only one destination in San Francisco as far as I...
