One thing I learned being a exAmtrak ticket agent is if a train shows sold out between two stations you can book your trip by segments. Try booking from Chicago to Omaha and then Omaha to Denver. I see that there is space available by doing it this way. I learned this trick when booking trips...

Those are the orginal F59's that started the service, P42 are used when the F59's are in for maintance. As these locos age they are out more often.

When I took the test in 1992 it was mostly simple math and reading, but I do not know if that has changed.

The other thing is going from Pasco to LA via Portland is an overnight as if the EB is late the Starlight does not wait

There is a posiblity of delays in Eastern Montana between Havre and Glasgow due to the area getting around 8 inches of rain since Friday, with the Milk River at or near flood stage in areas.

The closest station is the unmaned station at Michigan City which is served by the michigan service trains(Chicago-Grand Rapids-Detroit)

The current schedue that is the 1:40 depature from seattle will be tru Oct 1.

Last 2 days EB OT into Seattle

It is probably a little of both.

CP Rail is also doing track work between in WI and the train has been loseing time due to this work, I also think that the reason that a MSP-CHI train is not being run is due to no equipment to run this train.

Two more cars are comming in from CHI they are the Amtrak Bussiness Cars Pacific Cape and Beech Grove with Boardman and party on board.

You can not check it as electronics are not permited in eather checked baggage or express.

You are going to have to stay the night in eather Portland or Seattle with the new Builder sched.

At the end of May the schedule will be looked at again and the schedule might be changed again.

This is because most of the trains to Buffalo are paid for by the state of New York.

The mainence that is done on the Talgo train sets is done by Amtrak workers and is only overseen by Talgo.

It starts April 15 and I heard will run until at least the end of May.

This will not happen as there is a clause in the contract that states that you can not replace a employee job (union job) with a caretaker(nonunion job). If they put a caretaker job in they can not sell tickets or check baggage, they can only open the door and clean.

The Parlour car comming off is still a few years off, but the trouble is that these cars are old and when major parts fail they have to be built, you can not just buy the part and that makes them expensive to run.

You can still make a res from the Starlight to the Builder, you just can not make it in one segment(KFS-MOT) on the same day you would have to make one seg KFS-PDX and the 2nd seg PDX-MOT.
