    Dinner on the Chief #4

    Just wanted to confirm if the Southwest Chief #4 departing Los Angeles at 5:55PM still offers dinner just after departure or not? Are dinner times later, or is it staggered somewhat because of the near 6pm departure from L.A., CAL? Usually the first seating is 5pm'ish typically I believe but I...

    Will the Diner on the Eagle Return? Ever?

    Just as the headline reads: I was hoping that by some miracle my trip from Maricopa back to Boston on #422 by Dec 15, would have traditional dining returned but nothing yet. Not going to hold my breath about it either but it is rather sad in a way. I can sort of understand keeping the...

    Texas Eagle Question

    My sincerest apologies if this question has been answered in another post somewhere but... To clarify, does the Texas Eagle #421#422 operate either with a dining car offering traditional dining, and/or a sightseer lounge car?? We intend to either be out of Maricopa heading north on #422 OR...

    Lake Shore Consist Lately after Albany West?

    Just curious if Amtrak is still putting #4920 at the head end behind the locomotive(s) before leaving Albany to Chicago? I am trying to decide if it makes sense economically to just do the Boston sleeper directly to Chicago or do coach or business class from Boston to Albany, get off then take a...

    LSL Service Change Soon & Connection Options to #421

    So, planning my trip still for out to Arizona at the end of March. Last night, I happened to be double checking my itinerary and so forth crossing my T's, and dotting my i's.

    #421 Low Bucket Bedroom B to E possible?

    I have decided to rebook my trip out west from the Holidays to the end of March. Today I called Amtrak and made a reservation which was placed on a courtesy hold for 7 days. Coming out of Boston on #449, switching to the #49 sleeper in a bedroom in Albany on 3/27, spending the night in Chi-town...

    Trip to AZ moved to March..Boarding process at Chicago or New Orleans?

    Moved my trip out west to this March. Fares much better and won't have to have the hassle of the Holiday rush. So, there are one of two options for me to go: A.) Either Lake Shore Limited #449 switching to #49 in Albany to get a sleeper closer to the dining car, on to Chicago then Texas Eagle...

    #421 Sold Out on 12/01...Additional Sleeping Car Possible?

    Been tracking #421 for the possibility of an upcoming trip to Arizona for 12/01, and 12/03. 12/01 #421 is now officially completely SOLD OUT. 12/03 soon to follow. Even #21 has no rooms left. Only coach seats on 12/03. My question is this: since there is still 3 or 4 weeks before departure of...
