The Flower Display from the Texas Eagle. Like I said, our SCA took great pride in her work and it showed.

Got off the 21 last night. It seems like one of the dining car staff was a bit new to everything and made me wonder if she was just temporarily on staff since maybe others had jobs lined up elsewhere? My SCA confirmed the "Contemporary Dining" options were coming to the Texas Eagle.

Saw these folks cross our paths on the 21 around 8am on the Arkansas side of Texarkana. It was kind of surreal to see two 22s within hours of each other (the other was in Ft. Worth when we arrived).

Pre-Amtrak July 21st-30th, 2018 Originated in Austin, TX. Flew into Orlando, FL via JetBlue with my Mom. Our original plane was an Embraer ERJ-190, but there were mechanical problems, so they ended up sending us an Airbus 320 and throwing together a flight crew instead of cancelling the...

A few weeks back, I expressed concerns about food for my upcoming trip on the CL. I also inquired if there was any option for reimbursement or some kind of voucher for folks who decline the complimentary alcoholic beverage (I don't drink). I never heard back until today: Thank you for your...

I wonder how it will be heated- if it is convection oven reheated or microwaved. Also hopefully there's enough for everyone who wants a hot meal.

One night. Now add on the SAS-LAX leg and you've got a little more time than that.

Thank goodness this wouldn't take effect in August, if true. I'm taking both the Cap (WAS-CHI: Sleeper) and the TE (CHI-STL: Coach, STL for the weekend, STL-AUS: Sleeper) as part of my summer trip and if it was boxed meals for dinner & breakfast on the Cap and then dinner, breakfast, lunch...

Another new menu difference is that they added Corona to the alcohol list. Whoop-dee-doo.

Or even hot water and a Easy Mac bowl.

Definitely interested in seeing what these look like now. They sound fancy, but I'm skeptical.

Just an update. Got my notification today. Subject = Your upcoming trip: new meal service onboard Hi RHEAVON Beginning June 1, Amtrak will offer contemporary meal choices for sleeping car customers, in place of traditional dining car service, onboard the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore...

Not me. I'm riding the CL July 31 and haven't received any word on the change.

I'm definitely disappointed. I have a CL WAS-CHI coming up this late summer. I already dropped them a line. I don't drink soft drinks or alcohol, so that doesn't do anything for me. If the amenity kit is anything like the comfort kit, it seems pretty redundant as all the things in that kit...

Just looked up my CL reservation for July 31st in Car 2900. I'm not seeing any service cancelled messages in my account, so it may just be temporary.

I'm currently reading Tracks to the Sea: Galveston and Western Railroad Development, 1866-1900 by Earle B. Young - in case you want to go way way back.

I normally have good response from the Contact Us email feature on the website. I always leave feedback about every trip there (good, bad, & ugly) and have yet to get a canned response- or maybe the canned responses are just that good.

When we heard they were taking the train, my boyfriend asked who I'd sit next to. Patty Mills, of course! I wonder if any of them love trains like we do?

It looks like they have a section on their website to check up on when the next bus will be at the next stop. This is definitely promising- especially for the rate (cheaper than a single ride on our local buses)! I don't need commentary- I just really wanted to make sure that I pay my respects...

Having worked backstage in a theater, gaff tape was definitely a staple. If you're in a bedroom with a travel companion who has a tendency to block the bathroom door with luggage, swing the door open and tape a line of gaff on the floor to indicate how far the door comes out, so your companion...
