I recently sent comments to Amtrak regarding the Ca Zephyr trip we were on being 12 hours late to Emeryville and the cascade of effects such lateness causes. I also made a website suggestion (I think it would be very helpful to state which stations have parking for your car while on a trip)...

Thanks for the prompt response. Not the answer I wanted, but that's not your fault. Jim
