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.

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?

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?

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...

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?

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.

As a rule I pay the whole bill since it's not very big. The one time I paid half was for my trip to and from Tacoma. Please refresh my memory as I am working on getting tickets for a group my friends from Barstow to LAUS. It seems to me that I had one week to pay half the total fare, then two...

http://abc7.com/news/woman-arrested-for-trying-to-steal-train-in-victorville/1213917/ The Victorville Transportation Center is also a stop for the SWC. Thank goodness nobody got hurt.

The Murder She Wrote movie with Angela Lansbury. It's been YEARS since I watched it. This Deluxe sleeper they speak of doesn't exist, does it?

I was pondering the not too likely scenario as follows: On my way back West, my connection is in Dallas. My connections have been late in the past, so, would Amtrak would be a good backup? The Texas Eagle is daily through goes to LAX only on WedFriMon. My connection is on Thursday. No...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/08/27/airline-abandons-wheelchair-granny-for-11-hours-at-airport/14676783/ Really, family? Who in their right mind hands over an 85 y/o wheelbound mother to a total stranger at the airport? 99% of the blame is yours.

The Cheif was 3 hours late from LA on 19 August. Since Barstow is only the 4th stop from the Union Station, I'd love to know how that happened.

Breaking news claim that due to police action near San Onofre involving Border Patrol and CHP, Amtrak service has been canceled. I'm a bit confused since Orange County is not that close to the Border, nor am I sure that San Onofre is in Orange County...anyway, the Amtrak site doesn't show any...

Hope this is the right place. My coworkers gifted me this special trip for my retirement. Tickets are for me and a guest. So a friend and I will be driving over to Fillmore! I wish I'd known about the place sooner...it's reputed to be full of history!

Planning a trip to SEA. I'm thinking about moving from coach to sleeper in Paso Robles or San Jose on the way up, and at Klamath Falls on the way back to LA. I did consider switching to sleeper at Frisco when going up but for some reason I'm thinking that may not be good. Any...

I had posted a topic evidently too long ago about traveling by train for business reasons. Can't find that topic anymore, but since this is kind of unrelated, I decided to start a new one. I will be retiring shortly, and will be starting on my "second career". I will use Amtrak instead of...

As I mentioned some days ago, I will be accompanying my father to Virginia to see my late mother's relatives. We are arriving at Wash Nat'l and will go to Richmond by train. I tried to convince my father to take Amtrak, but he's pretty much settled on the Metro because it runs every hour...

Was trying to check the website for the track record so far for #3 and #4. It's not the same... where did it go? I didn't think I've been away from Amtrak topics that long.

When we went to Tacoma in '08, for some strange reason we dldn't go to the Space Needle or visit the Pike Market (sigh), and because the weather was quite chilly (May) we decided not to take the trip around the Sound. This time I'm aiming for Seattle for a few days in July. According to memory...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33175707/ns/tr...news/?GT1=43001 The fight started supposedly because one of the pilots attacked a female crew member. I dunno, sounds like there's more to this story.
