    Amtrak to Grand Canyon

    I am helping a friend that uses a wheel chair (but she can get in or out of cars) They want to see the Grand Canyon. Where's the best place for them to get off, Flagstaff or Williams? Can Amtrak get them to the Grand Canyon hotel? Thanks

    Sunset Limited/Texas Eage bridge fires causing service disruptions

    As mentioned above NOTHING stops the freight trains.......for very long anyway. Almost ALL repairs are done amazingly quick. The work done is expected to last forever. imo The repair/construction work exceeds most if not all building codes.

    Should Amtrak allow smoking again?

    As I read through the post I notice noone complained about the smokers who light up as soon as they have two feet on the ground literally 2' from the door, then take move a little further but not far enough.
