What is the best free app for an iPhone to show train speed and maybe travel direction? I do not need or want want a map app.

Anyone notice that the Amtrak website seems to be down? It was also having problems yesterday.

Is there a regular consist for the California Zephyr? Why would it change? I have updated the image based on response. REVISED:

The travel mask mandate has been moved from Jan 18 to mid March. https://www.cnet.com/health/mask-mandates-will-be-extended-through-mid-march-for-planes-and-more-what-to-know/ My trip is in April. What are the odds it will be extended again?

This has been answered many times but I have not seen a current one for the California Zephyr. How many outlets are in the Superliner bedroom? Can an angled plug be used. See photo. My main concern is the depth of the outlet. Would the above plug fit or would some type of adapter be needed...

What happens if you do not take the Thruway segment to the train? There is a slight possibility that someone can drive me to the train and I would not need the Thruway. Since it may be a last minute decision I know I would not cancel the thruway or ask for a refund. Does not appearing for the...

I enjoy playing around with HTML and Javascript. I have created my own countdown page locally on my computer. It updates daily with info shown below. Those are little train cars in the image. One for each day left. The right side of the page (not shown) has a general itinerary. What would be...

If you have ever taken a cruise you know that surge protectors are not allowed. Something to do with the electrical system. Since a train also generates its own electricity using a diesel engine are there any surge protector limitations? NOTE: I am not planning on using one. This is just to have...

Including what you find in the room are there any other things you can ask for such as a deck of cards?

I am keeping track of the arrival times for the CZ in anticipation of my trip. I need the CZ 5 for SAC and CZ 6 for CHI. Amtrak.com seems to be the most current but you must enter info every time. I would like to just click on a single link for each train. SAC Status and CHI Status seam to be...

I want to start tracking arrival times of the CZ. Is there an online method to check it? Amtrak.com does not work. Is Julie working? I hate phoning every day but I will if I must. REVISED: looks like station to station status may be working now.

I find that much of the excitement of a trip is the planning and anticipation. I have gotten guide books, city maps, and even a train route map. I have my own local web page that shows a countdown. What do you do in advance?
