Do you know of any Webcams (free or paid services) on the Via Rail Canadian route? thanks in advance,

Texas Eagle 21 @ Texarkana today Jul 1 - Pull’n an Observation car. I wouldn't draw any conclusions it’s back yet, probably just hitch’n a ride. And strange position. Still, nice to see it on the consist again.

I enjoy staying at a Casino hotel and playing “real dice” Craps while overnighting on my Amtrak trips. I also prefer the hotel to be very close to an Amtrak station. Around 1 mile or less. I’m also only interested in the Western LD trains. EB, CZ, SC, CS, or SL/TE. Nothing in the NEC. I live...

Starting this week the Southwest Chief & Calif Zephyr are running a 3rd full Sleeper. As I understand it Sleeper car numbers ascend from the dining car. While some LD trains start with 0 (Texas Eagle xx30) and some with 1, I understand SC and CZ use the following numbering scheme. Can anyone...

Does anyone know if any rail cams that pick up the Coast Starlight anywhere along the LAX>SEA route?

While watching the Zephyr #6 pull into Galesburg it was interesting to see the Zephyr #6 passengers have their bags sniffed. Didn’t look like any hits today. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMBqc55hcu7aenmYOnihcgg/live 5:02p arrival (12 hr DVR)

With regards to the LD Superliner routes… With no Transition Sleeper, can the Conductor get to the baggage car and/or Engine? I’d assume without a TS the baggage car cannot be accessed while in motion. I’ve understood the TS sells roomettes 17 thru 24 to passengers and typically reserve 1-8 in...

How do you handle any rattling between the doors in the E-D & C-B Suites? Probably the most frustrating expectation if you’re in Rooms E, D, C, or B is that the sliding Suite door is going to rattle. In the past I’ve used Duck Tape and paper coffee cup strips but I can never get it to...

Have you ever has a sour SCA? This one is a hoot. Listen to our SCA’s announcement to the entire Sleeper car. I’m a fan and frequent rider on Amtrak LD trains. Most SCA’s I’ve experienced try to make you feel welcome when introducing themselves and offering their services if you need...
