    Sacramento, CA

    With a "non-answer" as you put it, you'd fit right in over in "The Building aka the Capitol":) Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't, but I tried :) I'll leave Old Sac out of this. Outside of the railroad museum which is well worth it, I'm not the biggest fan of it, I'd even go so far as to...

    Not unless you count physical distancing as nothing. ;)

    Sacramento, CA

    What do you like to do? It'd be easier to mention what's going on/what there is to do here with your interests in mind.

    Am I missing anything by leaving from Sacramento instead of Emeryville on CZ?

    If you're coming downtown from the airport on Yolobus (42A) then you can just get off that bus at 9th and J to go to the Rite Aid.

    Am I missing anything by leaving from Sacramento instead of Emeryville on CZ?

    Closest convenience store that would be open both weekday and weekend would be the Rite Aid at 9th and K Streets. It's about a 10 minute or so walk from the station. If you're mobility-impaired you can take either the 30 or 38 bus from the Amtrak station to 9th and J Street where it will be a...

    Didn't use rewards number when booking - can I get point applied retroactively?

    Just had to do this today for a trip I took last week. You have between 7 and 120 days from the time you travel to request the missing points through the Missing Points Request form on the Amtrak website.

    According to the Nassau County Police, the SUV may have been fleeing from a hit and run collision with another vehicle in the vicinity of the crossing.

    Boston - New York overnight ferry

    As was said earlier gambling is legal in New York.  There's a Resorts World casino in Queens at Aqueduct.  There was a time close to twenty years ago now where a gambling boat operated from the South Shore of Long Island in Nassau County.  The boat's been defunct for years but it did exist.  I...

    SAC Station

    There's a second floor that houses office space which is available for lease.

    SAC Station

    To answer your question directly, yes the renovations are complete.  No, they do not have a food court in the station but as JimBob mentioned there is a Starbucks in the old REA building immediately adjacent to the station (the building on your left as you're facing the station building coming...

    SAC Station

    Yes, the Golden1 Center's been open a couple of years now.  The area was rebuilt in part and reconfigured west of the arena but it's now referred to as Downtown Commons or DOCO.  There are several food options there several open until 11PM or midnight depending on the day of the week event or no...

    Penn Station to JFK Airport

    I'd also echo that the LIRR to JFK is easier and out of Penn you can just take whatever train that stops at Jamaica that is leaving first (except Port Washington trains which don't stop at Jamaica.)  I use the JFK Airtrain to LIRR the few times a year I fly into JFK it's more expensive but...

    Improving NYC Area Transit

    BART's served SFO for the last 15 years.  The station is in the International Terminal on the Departures Level, G Gates side.

    Poughkeepsie and Albany stations--I could use some tips.

    Isn't that building now the SUNY headquarters?

    Another airline pulls out of MSP-ORD

    The A340-600 is a nice plane. I fly Lufthansa A340-6's semi-regularly SFO-MUC and love the two seats instead of three on the window side. There was a time SFO looked like an A340 dealership with the Lufthansa, SAS, and Swiss variants all parked at the same time. A few years back I took...

    LGA Term C to JFK Term 1?

    As much as I don't want to admit I'm getting older, I remember seeing the tail end of the tearing down of the Jamaica El and the progress on the construction of the Jamaica Center station. Realizing Parsons/Archer opened back in 1988 is suddenly making me feel old.

    LGA Term C to JFK Term 1?

    It should be enough time to make the transfer between LGA and JFK barring the apocalypse on the Van Wyck. For an 85-year-old woman with a walker, the best bet is the shuttle option as was mentioned or rideshare/taxi. In this instance, I'd avoid public transit between LGA and JFK. However, the...

    Airport to airport connections

    Shanghai Metro Line 2 runs between Pudong and Hongqiao airports. Did it several times when I lived there.

    Habitual Amtrak ticket Scammer in LA Union station.

    If the station operator doesn't want the guy there because of his activities they can have their police agency issue the scammer a trespass order which subjects him to arrest if he returns. I'm guessing since he's known to security, and it's hasn't been done yet (to our knowledge), that it's...

    Alan Burden (AlanB)

    I'm stunned by the news of Alan's passing. As many before me have stated he was a great guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions on both coasts. The first time I met him was about 15 or so years ago when I was heading back east and wanted to ride the then-new LIRR M7's...
