Long time reader, noted mention of FlyerTalk and I was a mileage runner there and visited Japan a fair amount on runs over the years. I found the hotel concierges to be excellent support. They arranged Shinkansen tickets, gave us tips on using the subway and often would print or write out...

RIP.... According to the article, the incident occurred at Venoy in Wayne. If accurate: https://goo.gl/maps/dhi5h Here's a video by a rider going opposite direction on 350 awhile ago, starting at time reference 2:54, showing the Venoy crossing: http://youtu.be/9x1hCVSEMlg?t=2m54s I noted...

OP, I usually start searches on Amsnag and that matrix identifies any SO sleeping accommodations pretty well. I was just checking this morning and there's still some cross country bedroom sleepers available for the Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas. Wide open next year, pretty much. Also, when...

OP, another aspect to consider is that sometimes last minute price reductions to sleeping accommodations can occur and then the subsequent rail fare is discounted to lowest bucket. I noted this for a departure tomorrow including the SWC where the family bedrooms are discounted to 565.00, which...

Though I continued to receive functioning fare alerts during the outage, including the links to Amtrak booking pages, the web site returned the same results as in past outages. Fortunately, it apparently has been remedied with no loss of data or function. Thanks so much!

That's interesting. I checked BFD-FUL for tomorrow and include a scan of a transfer with 30 minute bus-train connection which apparently shows the icon for checked luggage being available. BFD-FUL.tiff Additionally, the evening 5816-796 connection, which is only 20 minutes, also shows checked...

I just received a fare alert so apparently the back end is still working. The front end is reporting the error at the top of the thread. The fare watch feature on the backup site is returning a 404 error, so logging in apparently is unavailable, but fares can be successfully searched from the...

Looks like the same issue which was reported in this thread: http://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.php?/topic/56871-amsnag-not-broken-with-new-web-design It appears there was a database issue at that time. The returned error was similar, and is currently occurring for me as well.

There appears to be two different forms of lighting, as I note conventional 'street lights' as well as metal halide/HPS parking lot downlighting. Note the square light pole in the foreground at near end of platform. Very odd that the area would be unlighted, save for a power failure. Lots of...

The member-provided link to the train routes page is still working fine on my ancient Mac with Safari and no plug-ins enabled except javascript.

In light of the recent browser discussion, checked this morning to find Amsnag working as normal with my ancient version of Mac OSX (10.5.8) and Safari (5.0.6) running with no scripting/plug-ins enabled, so kudos to Paul for getting things back online and providing a resource which doesn't rely...

Hey, thanks for the excellent resource and my sympathies for having to deal with a coding problem. Perhaps the thread linked below might help get the database back on the rails...

I've been looking all over out of my local, since I travel a fair amount, both long distance, meaning transcon, and short distance, meaning west coast. The only time rail is cheaper, so far, is comparing to puddle-jumper flights, like FNO-SFO/ FNO-LAX, etc, and those are the routes where I've...

Using the example of an upcoming trip, if booking today for the same arrival day by air and rail: Rail: FNO-WAS-RGH - 377 (FNO-WAS) + 89 (WAS-RGH) = 466 Elapsed time = ~72 hours Air: FAT-DFW-RDU - 322 Elapsed time = ~7 hours Comparing First Class to a Roomette, I can purchase a First...

New here and have been reading while contemplating switching to rail from air for a long leisure trip. Comparing similar start-end points, which would be FNO-RGH, I currently have a first class one-way ticket reserved on American Airlines for 569.00, booked in 'P' class, which is paid...
