Chrome works for me using Windows. Internet Explorer however I could not get the map to work. Now what would be cool would be to have this map added to the Amtrak App.

Thanks for the replies. My trip is booked and I have Room 7 on #422 from LAX-LRK. I am traveling alone and this is my first trip in a sleeper car. I am looking forward to the trip. I leave LAX on April 1 so if anyone on here will happen to be on the Limited/Eagle during that time maybe we will...

I'm planning a trip next month on the Texas Eagle from LAX (Los Angeles) to LRK (Little Rock) and am planning on getting a roomette. I think this question may have been asked before, but am I allowed to stay in my Roomette during the night in San Antonio or do I need to look at getting a motel room?

Sorry been a long week for me, somedays its harder to remember what day of the week things happened.

If it was north of STL as reported here then no this is not the same location as the last derail. This one is in another state, Monday's was in Arkansas about 45 miles north of Little Rock, while the one north of St. Louis is several hours from Monday's derail. It is a good question as to what...

Yes Little Rock has a Staion Building, why wouldn't it? It also has in my opinion a pretty decent platform, although I would find a way to cover it, but why spend the money on only two trains a day. It, being the "staion Building" is on the bottom floor of the old Union Station a decent...

A bit more information on the derailment from www.arkansasmatters.com

I woke up this morning and saw this online in the local paper: www.thecabin.net So anyone that may be taking the Eagle may want to call Amtrak and check on the status or your train.

I would just like to wish all the Amtrak fans out there a Happy New Year. May 2010 be the year of Amtrak and that all your rail journeys be safe and on time. Lets spread the word about train travel and encourage our government to provide more funding for Amtrak.

Not sure how the flooding on the tracks is, but as of 6pm the news was reporting that the highway that runs parellel but not next to the line was still closed due to flooding. The section of highway effected is a rather large interchange with a lot of traffic flow. The landfill sits between...

This is what I heard from a posting that a friend made, I wish I had known before nightfall and had time to go get some daytime picstures of the TE in Arkansas. "Flooding on Christmas Day-December 25, 2009-across Arkansas caused Amtrak's Texas Eagle #21 to be stopped at Bald Knob, Arkansas due...

Sorry I missed the TE route, I guess the straight line and nothing being labeled between St. Louis and Dallas/Ft. Worth threw me off. I went back and looked again and noticed that it was there.

You also left off the Texas Eagle route. How am I suppose to take Amtrak? I don't want to drive 3 hours when I can drive 45 minutes as I can now.

When I traveled in March I asked one of the attendants if the recession has anything to do with the on-time performance and she said without blinking yes. I also only recall passing 6-7 freights my entire travel. As I have heard many say you can tell the economy by how many freights are moving...

I found it on my Dish Network schedule Ch 231 titled Trains and Locomotives, airs (reairs) 11am Saturday, May 5.

Going through Arkansas you should be fine. Weather is Hot and Humid, some summer thunderstorms, but nothing that should delay a train. As for the rest of the route, not sure.

I work 24 hr shifts and am off for 48 hrs. 24 on 48 off, 24 on 48 off..... and on and on. work 10 days a month with 3 weeks paid vacation and 1 Personal Leave Day plus sick time. Best job in the world. For those wondering what I do, I am a firefighter.

It is looking like I may have to call the 800 number. Or book the three of them and place the 4th on my reservation.

One of the children is 5 so he is small. This would be their first trip on the train and I would like a travel companion, I know I could make friends on the train, but it is always nice to have others that you know. So I am helping them plan the trip and pricing while trying to make the...

Okay, well I just tried putting in one bedroom with 4 passengers and it told me that accomodations could not be made that way. Would one of the adults/kids need to be on my reservation in order to do what I was trying to do? This is my first time trying to plan two different trips and with...
