Hi all. It's been a while since I've been here, but it's great to be back, and see that this website is growing more and more. :) I have a general question regarding the train speed on #449 between Boston,MA and Albany, NY. Just simply what is it? I heard that train speeds between Framingham...

Hiya guys & gals, Yay! I'm so excited! March, 08, 2003 is the date that me and my mother will be departing for Las Vegas, NV via Needles, CA. We will be leaving Boston's South Station at 9:50AM, and arriving into Las Vegas, NV at 4:45AM, via a connection with the Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach...

Hey all, Which train do you think is more popular? The California Zephyr or the Southwest Chief? Based upon my "research" of sleeping car accomodations on the chief, at most times of the year, they are very high on that train. But quantity doesn't necessairily mean quality. I think the Zephyr...

Does anyone know how I can find out how close the Amtrak depot in Provo, Utah is in relation to where the bus station is there? I tried mapquest.com, but it doesn't seem to understand the directions that I put in for the Amtrak address listed in the National Timetable for their service...

Hiya, Just to keep you updated, today I spent some time trying to do what Alan had suggested and put in specific dates of travel for my planned trip to Vegas via Needles, CA. Problem is my budget is kinda tight when Amtrak asks for $806.00 for a deluxe room between Chi-Needles. It seems...
