    Late TE to Chicago

    On 5/4/19 the arriving 22 into Chicago was 6:45pm almost 5 hours late. Those transferring to trains going east would have missed connections to Cardinal #50 that left at 5:45pm and the Capital Limited #30 that departed at 6:40pm. Doesn’t appear that neither train was held up for connecting...

    Exact routing to Roanoke

    Did Amtrak put in the same amount of infrastructure in Roanoke (car cleaning facilities and storage tracks (3)) as they did in Lynchburg? I know they put a nice raised and covered platform for the passengers. They need to do the same in Lynchburg.

    Exact routing to Roanoke

    When leaving Roanoke it will take the old N&W east over the Blue Ridge thru Bedford & Bedford County. When arriving in Lynchburg it will switch over to the old Southern Railroad tracks. This is accomplished by the double wye between the Woodall yard and Mountview yard. It will continue north...

    Presidential libraries by train?

    Went to Reagan Library by Southwest Chief and Surfliner. There is bus line that goes by Semi Valley station. I can't remember if we had to transfer to different bus route or not. Bus will drop you off right in front of library and pick you up. I think it is on a half hour schedule.

    Changing tickets

    Since you will be arriving a day before the fifteenth anniversary of 9-11, you may experience a greater amount of airport security action. I would not risk it, stay an extra night in Chicago.

    ABQ Question?

    Looks like there are a lot of people on here with knowledge about ABQ. I have a couple of questions: Is the Hotel Albuquerque a good place to stay? Any other suggestions. How can I get to the Tram from Old Town or Intermodel Center?

    The problem with modifying rather than canceling is the system detects double booking and will cancel one. I had PAID reservation from CHI to CVS. They couldn't modify my AGR from ABQ to CHI to ABQ to CNI on the same train and same date. They cancelled my CHI to CVS and immediately booked...
