We are taking the SWC from ABQ to LAX on Wednesday and the CS from LAX to SEA on Thursday. Right now we are set up w/ Roomettes, but I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade on the SC to a bedroom. I posted a question the other day about whether or not they might serve a turkey dinner and...

is there a food vendor or restaurant inside the SAN station in San Diego?

Planning to take the SWC from ABQ to LAX on Saturday. I notice that it's been running late most of the week. I suspect this is due to weather up at Raton Pass. Can anyone verify this? We are in for snow tonight through most of the day tomorrow, but then clearing and all weather out of that...

We will be arriving at LAX on the SWC on Christmas morning, taking the Pacific Surfliner down to San Diego getting off (and back on as we are doing round trip later in the week) at SAN. We'll be staying at the Best Western at 707 Pacific Beach Drive. Need to get a cab to/from. A bit concerned as...

Taking trip from LAX to San Diego, what is best station to use in San Diego? Hope to stay on Paradise Island, but not for sure. Want an actual station, not street corner and it's not clear from the website which is best. Thanks for your help!

We are thinking of taking the SWC from ABQ to LAX then Coast Starlight to...well, not sure where. Want to take the train up the coast. Will get roomettes. Notice it then travels up the middle of CA on it's way to Seattle. Would like to see the Cascades from the train, perhaps? Any suggestions...

sorry if this post shows up twice, didn't seem to "take" first time. Hubby and I are planning a trip from ABQ to Laughlin, NV later this month. Notice that we get off the train in Kingman and take a bus into Laughlin. Would like advise about this transfer both going out and coming back. Thanks!

Made our reservations for SF. Taking the SWC to LAX, then Coast Starlight to OKJ, then bus to SFW. Way back, taking bus to EMY, San Joaquin to BFD where we'll pick up a bus to LAX(need advise on that as well) and SWC from LAX back to ABQ. Notice that SFW is not a real station but a bus stop...

I'm hoping to make a trip to BUF from ABQ (switching trains in CHI) in the fall. The prices seem to have gone up and I'm wondering if there are cheaper travel days than others.

I'm going to be making a trip to and from Buffalo, NY in a couple of weeks and noticed that the LSL often left late out of Buffalo (on one occasion as late as 2 hours!) to Chicago this week. What's going on? It's a major drag to hang at the Buffalo Station until 3:30am!! I know, I've done it...

I'm sorry if I'm asking something that's already been asked, but I looked around and couldn't find an answer. I noticed a post referring to the LSL having Diner Lite. Can someone please tell me what that is? Do you go to the dining car as on the SWC and sit where told and the only thing...

Does anyone know what types of restaurants are inside the CHI Union Station? Which one's are best?

I will be taking the LSL from CHI to BUF in March and I was reading another post which referred to the "diner lite on the LSL". What does this mean? Is it the same as going the dining car on the SWC? I am assuming that I will have breakfast on the train before I get to BUF and breakfast and...

We just returned from a lovely Santa Barbara trip, although we were on the SWC that had the broken down engines on the way out. The Pacific Surfliner was a bit of a challenge w/ all our luggage, but we managed. Anyway, I am taking the SWC in March and will arrive in CHI on Easter Sunday at...

SWC #3 is 2 1/2 hours late out of La Junta, CO and is hung up again somewhere between there and Trinidad. Julie has no info other than it's late and waiting for an update...anybody got a clue?

I have my bag all packed for our weekend excursion to LAX via the SWC. Just weighed the bag, which is w/i the SIZE limit, but weighs 57 pounds!! We plan to carry this bag on and keep it in the "downstairs" as we have roomettes. We will then get our bag at LAX to load it on the Pacific Surfliner...

We are thinking of taking the train from ABQ to Las Vegas, NV for the Thanksgiving holiday. We would leave ABQ on the 21st at around 4:40 and get into Kingman, AZ at 12:35am. From there it looks like a bus takes you on to McCarran Airport arriving at 3:10am. Have any of you done this? Can you...

I'm taking a trip in Sept from ABQ to BUF and returning in October. About a month ago, I looked at the rates online and then about an hour later called Amtrak to make the reservation. In that amount of time, the rate jumped almost 100 dollars. I went ahead and made the reservations thinking...
