If you get a roomette you also have shower facilities, and if you do it and use the Metropolitan lounge in Chicago, they have great shower facilities you can use.

How many restaurants that pay the staff what Amtrak pays their staff could EVER make any profit.

Call Enterprise, they will pick you up at the station.

Was there on the 11th waiting for the CZ after coming in on the CL, used the shower, was very nice, my 86 YO Mom was with me and we asked for redcap service and was on the first cart to the train. Had a very good experience.

Rode from Greenville SC to WUS on Sept 9th the BC car was right behind the baggage car and they kept the door open between the cars most of the way and it was very noisy, the car had few riders in it. it should be behind the sleepers and in front of the diner.

Got here today on the CL, friendly greeting, used the shower, waiting until the CZ boards to see how that procedure goes. Will most likely try to get Red Cap service, did that in WUS and was on board quickly.

Any updates as far as the boarding procedures? Have they actually figured it out?

The last time I traveled First Class was 2002 on the CZ, the SCA had soft drinks, juice, water and coffee for the passengers, it looks like today you get bottled water and that is all. The meals were much better looking than what the current menu looks like. Also they had a signature dessert...

Planes mostly fly from point A to point B unlike trains which go to point A,B,C,D,E,F etc. Trying to assign seats when many people might occupy it on a given route would be a real headache, the Conductor knows better how to arrange incoming passengers.

Will be on the same train in 531

I am going to be in a Superliner Roomette for 2 out of 3 legs of my trip next month and I will spend more time looking at the scenery than I will looking to see what looks worn on the car. We have no money for Amtrak because we dump our money into entitlement programs that have NEVER actually...

Will be there next month coming in on CL and leaving on CZ, I will pay for a Red Cap in order to get on without the line.

I just hate being crammed into a sardine can with zero comfort and no fresh air to breathe.

I meant to threaten to give passenger service back to them, see how long it would take them to give Amtrak priority. You gotta play hard ball sometimes.

If they could actually get priority from the freight lines the on time would go up dramatically, or else give passenger service back to the freight lines with a mandate to run them on time and make money doing it. See how long it would then take them to give passenger trains the green light to...

They need to get their act together and have consistency with the boarding process

Too bad Budd is no longer in the rail car business, their stuff DID last.

IN '77 I was on a WB EB and we were in Minot for 21 hours, as a freight train had a hot box fire and took out some track, also it was Winter and the snow was just below the wires on the telephone poles. There was a party shop across the street from the station.

just checked it and it is back up. Going to take the 20 next month and am keeping track of it's on time performance.

The train tracker appears to be down since Saturday
