I don't know about soap but I'd pay a king's ransom to find the lemon berry cake they serve for dessert.

I've seen staff use them before, it looks like some type of two piece latch mechanism.

Whatever a CHI-GJT roundtrip adds up to.

Yikes, that has skyrocketed! In the past I've used limo service (sedan) for a flat $50-60 so that is a vialble option as well.

I have and do not, under any circumstances stay at the Rodway Inn. I made that mistake and it is a complete dump. There are 3 good options walking distance from the station: Springhill Suites, Fairfield Inn & Suites (both Marriot properties) and Historic Hotel Melrose. There is also an...

Good to know some hearty bottoms were still present this time of year. Thanks for the clarification.

Once an Amtrak train misses it's window the freights are no longer obligated to give it priority.

I fully agree OBS, it seemed ridiculous to me. I can only go off what the LSA told me, and after being told the kitchen was out of everything but burgers for lunch on Day 6 two years in a row, I'm inclined to believe her. Dessert options were also extrememly limited the the previous night...

Speaking of food shortages and re-stocking I was shocked to learn that the entire 6 day CZ run is stocked in Chicago and does not resock in Emeryville. After facing limited options in the diner on the last day into Chicago years running I finally asked. I'd have to imagine the snak cars are the...

There's an Enterprise on 2255 Broadway and they'll pick you up.

Possibly, OR they sparked up on their day off.

There's a brewery close enough to the tracks in Glenwood Springs to make a beer run. Last month saw a fellow passenger come back with growlers for himself and some new friends.

Thanks, though I'm a tad confused as to why there was a UP and not BNSf pilot.

Was anyone out there along the racetrack today to watch her go by? If so where were you and approx what time did she arrive?

SuperLiner doors are pretty easy to open, turn the upper and lower levers and pull. As far as I've seen there are no on-board indicator lamps for open doors.

Choosing to live within hearing distance of a rail line that's existed for 100 years and then petitioning for a quiet zone is the defination of "whiner" in my book.

My wife and I were on that train. After the GBB stop the 633 car attendant came on the intercom saying she was looking for Mr Dowd, she repeated this 2-3 times. This made us concerned but we thought he may have been in the SSL where it's hard to hear announcements. As we approached CUS the...

Just completed a CHI-GJT round trip on the CZ, on the way out I used the QT machine to spit out something tanagible that the conductor scanned in our room. For the trip back the conductor scanned my iPhone in the station. Both processes went equally well.

While that's true I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for CO to build, or invest in, heavy rail southward. CDOT thinks they just "fixed" I25 and as far as I know are moving their attention to the I70 corridor which gets clogged with people going to/retruning from romps in the mountains. The...

This wouldn't fall under the secret category but there's a health club, Fitness Formula Club on the same block as CUS. Might be worth it to you to see if they offer day passes so you can shower up.
