DONT I KNOW IT!! I was late 7 hours into LAX on the Sunset! I wasn't like totally annoyed from the delays, I knew how the railroads worked and I didn't want to leave the train anytime soon...I loved it on there! What the UP caused us in El Paso, they took forever letting us into the station...

My description of Coach Car 34135: Two levels of seating, but the lower is for special needs people. The itty bitty bathrooms are on the lower-there's one at the back end for the ladies loung & potty; one potty has a little xtra room for changing, one for special needs and two normal tiny...

Its not amtrak but my hubby & I found in a shed out off the 10(in cal) in the middle of nowheresland a full size mockup of the SP Daylight steam & tender. That was funky. There were some other movie mockup stuff in there also, plus a real caboose out front to boot. We were checking out the...

I sure don't remember Jim Carrey in a train in Me Myself & Irene, they tried jumping onto a train but didn't make it. I think i need to take out the movie.

I've been to the California State RR Museum, Tennesee Valley RR Museum and OERM. There's another in Tenn. but I forgot the name. They have LOTS of F series engines. I like Tennesse Valley alot, they run big ol steamers and a cute little GP9 or 7 i forgot...

RC entitles you a seat but you get to pick your seat.

Well, I know the Sunset Limited has a smoking dungeon. During a service stop, I reboarded on the stinky car which was one of the older Super 1 I figure; it was not nice like my Super II car. I looked in the room, it's icky. Look like old city transit coach seats. and it was very BARREN...

Reminds me of Ball Jr.High, it's right next to ex-SP (UP) local line crossed Ball Rd. I have seen hoards of students walking down the line with no care at all. The locals dont run on it everyday but hell, they DO run on it!!!! I'm suprised the school doesnt do anything about it! Only about 2-4...

My first railcar Coach 34135. We rode it from LAX to NOL and then a month later TLH to LAX. My son noticed it was the same car before I did. The only problem was the first lavatory on the left SMELLED ...it stunk going east and it stunk going west! (how often does it happen when someone gets...

I looked into the smoker on my train, blah! the seats are those hard plastic transit bus seats...I could slightly smell the smoke even when the door was closed. I think that room was on the old coach we had, it had that southwesty look on the seat covers.

Couple days ago, a van went out of control of the 5 south freeway and ended up on the rails! For you who dont know ,the Surfline is right next to the freeway at San Onofre. Fortunantly, The sole occupant got out fine and the Surfliner took out the van. The funny part of the story... One of our...

Cant agree on Sunset Limited, I need a way to get to moms and I go out of LAX. Can't they reroute the stupid thing to get out of UP's way, maybe on some less used track they can fix up nice and just let Amtrak use it? (ok im dreaming)

Depends on where you are, family emergencies would require air travel if I were you. Trains typically do not run on time, I was on the Sunset Limited in August from LA to Fla, never on time. You would be ok by yourself, it's safe on a train. You are a community in your car and get to know others.
