    Long Distance (LD) fleet replacement discussion (2022 - 2024Q1)

    We are planning a trip on the Zephyr in late spring. About how many sleepers, lounges, diners, etc. will have been refurbished by then do you think?

    Superliner trains' removal and restoration of cars (2022-2023)

    We're on the SWC on Jan 26 with two roomettes 7 & 8 in car 330. If there's only one sleeper, will it be 330?

    Superliner Trans-Dorm roomettes

    We're in car 0540 on the California Zephyr westbound from Chicago on Dec 28. What can anyone tell me about these cars? How are they different from a regular Superliner Sleeper?

    Sightseer Lounge missing

    I have seen reports that the sightseer lounge has been missing on the California Zephyr. Does this happen often? What replaces it for cafe service and viewing? We're on the #5 westbound on Dec 28 and certainly hope there's on on our train.

    Covid Mask Mandate for Transportation

    My husband and I are looking forward to the dining car again (first time with real food back) on the Zephyr. Will be able to ask the steward for a table for just the two of us? That way we would not have any concern about being seated with people who have not had the vaccine. That would be a...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    On the Amtrak website. Does this mean "traditional" real prepared in the kitchen food will reappear after June 30? We're taking the San Francisco Zephyr from Chicago to SF in September but not if they will have only the airline food. Service Change Traditional dining service has been...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Is there any hope for Traditional Dining to come back? The PDF schedules say "Traditional dining service has been temporarily suspended on all routes with the exception of the Auto Train. Through May 21, 2021." Does that mean it might come back after that date? Wishful thinking?

    California Zephyr late arrivals?

    We're leaving on Saturday afternoon from Chicago to Denver. I wonder if the trouble will have been cleared up and we won't be horribly delayed.

    California Zephyr late arrivals?

    #5 arrived in Denver 11 hours late today, and #6 arrived in Chicago 4-1/2 hours late tonight. Any news of what causing these delays? Even if the weather's bad west of Denver should that affect the Chicago to Denver run?

    California Zephyr Status (1/11/17)

    I just noticed the quote about Donner Pass being closed is from 2017. But still why the huge delay today, I wonder.

    California Zephyr Status (1/11/17)

    Why would this affect #5 between Chicago and Denver? The status shows it arriving in Denver 11 hours later today. But yesterday, November 13, it arrived in Denver 26 minutes EARLY. We are taking #5 from Chicago to Denver on Saturday. I hope we don't have to sit in the train for many extra hours.

    City of New Orleans dining?

    Is the City of New Orleans still a Superliner? If so, where does the Flexible Dining service occur? In the dining car, which is then closed off for coach passengers, and the kitchen is non-functioning? That would be a pretty depressing sight, remembering the cooked from scratch meals I have...
