    No Train Service for Exisiting Stop?

    Every time I try booking for a trip between Victorville and LAUS on the SWC I get the message that there is no train service for that segment. I checked the schedule for 2019 and Victorville is on it... Am I missing something? Help.

    Southwest Chief #4 Service Disruption

    There is a disruption for tonight very probably due to earthquake that hit at about 830 pm. This was a 7.1 out of Ridgecrest. Barstow felt this one way more than the one on Thursday. Whoops that was supposed to be #4. Shows how rattled I still am I guess. How do I fix it?

    Contact Info for Complaints about Amtrak Staff

    I need to know who and how to contact Amtrak about allegations against their train staff. Not me. Somebody on a FB group witnessed an incident and wants to know how to report. I don't call Julie for this, right?

    Trip to L.A. - Southwest Chief

    I remember some months ago the Cheif sat in Barstow for hours (I think six, not sure). I didn't find out why but very possibly waiting for the rescue engine.

    Trip to L.A. - Southwest Chief

    Thanks for the feedback! In the past when I've had to come late it was typically like two or three hours late. Not this late as the SWC has been and the room wasn't part of a block. Ok. I'll check with the conference folks about their agreement with the hotel.

    Trip to L.A. - Southwest Chief

    I'm taking the Chief to LAUS then Metro to my hotel. Given the Chief's astonishingly erratic arrival times - today it arrived in Barstow 11 hours-plus late - I wonder just how long my hotel would hold my room. I know they generally have a policy of holding the room if you let them know, but...

    SWC #3 Stayed for 2 Hours

    This morning at Barstow the #3 sat from 3:38 am to 5:00 am. That I think is a record for Barstow! Can I find out somehow the reason?

    Ride to Pasadena

    Anyone have experience with Uber or Lyft at the LAUS? I'm going to a Pasadena hotel from there and have a feeling that the taxi may be pricy.

    Hurricane Irma and Amtrak

    Considering this storm is big enough to thump all of Florida, I don't know one can have any choice but cancel. Wait and see, I guess.

    Any insight why SWC #4 three hours late day one??? 8/31/17

    #3 is going to be NINE hours late coming into Barstow today. Yesterday it was an hour late which is normal delay of course. #3 has been all over the map since trackage work started some months ago. And now all this bad weather.
