    Amsnag Question...

    Does Amsnag have a problem with Texas Eagle and Sunset Limeited routes? I am trying to track fares for the TE, Chicago to El Paso for March 27, 2015. Amsnag allows me to enter the stations and date and will show me the fares. But after I save the fares and come back to saved fares page, nothing...

    Connection at MSP (Airport)

    We have 2 terminals here at MSP. If your connection is in the same terminal, 58 minutes should be plenty of time. If you have to go from Terminal1 (Lindbergh) to Terminal 2 (Humphrey). or T2 to T1, it could be close. Here are maps of each...

    Dining Car Etiquette

    Last month on the CZ-CS-EB was very enjoyable at meals. I was seated twice with young couples from Europe, one from Germany and the other from Spain. Once with a lady who I found out graduated the same year as I from my rival high school in Minnesota. Another meal I was seated with two ladies...

    Why don't the attendants want to bring the meal to my room?

    I hope it wasn't that I just lucked out with the SCA's on my trips on the CZ and EB the last two weeks. On the westbound CZ I had Gwendolyn, whom I thought did a very good job. I asked her for ice for my small cooler, she came with a small bucket full and checked with me later on to see if I...

    Anyone know why the CZ has been up to 3 hrs late many days WB stop in

    I was on the CZ into Denver on the 27th. We lost a lot of time in western Illinois and eastern Iowa then Omaha due to freight traffic. Plus we hit a deer near the Colorado Utah border (30-40 min. delay) then had to have 2 drunks removed at Green River. Arrived in Reno (my destination) about 3+...

    suggestions to alleviate equipment shortages?

    Unfortunately the "Average Joe" in this country is not the kind of lobbyist that Congress is interested in anymore...

    Amenities Being Eliminated from Long Distance Routes

    As long as the 1%'ers (of which Congress is 99% made up of) still get their 1st class services, they don't care how us sheeple (the 99%) travel. As long as they are getting their tax breaks, entitlements and deregulations they are fine with us getting our "trickle down"...in other words "pissed...

    double days returning?

    Does the Double Days promotion include trips already booked? I booked my CHI-RNO-SAC-PDX-MSP trip back in November and I travel next week...3-36 to 4-3.

    Better to board from the "Great Basement' than the "Great Beyond"...

    EB mess

    Neroden...if you don't mind a bus ride, MegaBus departs from SPUD also. They have about 6 trips a day to Chicago. Not sure if you knew that.

    Howdy everyone! I have a trip coming up departing the 26th of March. Chicago-Reno with roomette. I have plenty of time in Chicago for buying my stock. But it is the return leg of the trip that I need advice. I am going Reno-Sacramento, then Sac-Portland, then Portland-St. Paul. With roomette...

    When planning First Class Travel Check all Room fares

    I personally wouldn't book a family bedroom just for myself, but if it is not against the rules, I guess they are free to do it. I really don't think it would be that hard for Amtrak to program into the online reservation system that when booking the family bedroom you must click that you have...
