    Safety and environmental issues with Amtrak's Flex Dining concept

    I'll be okay with whatever they serve because I'm not that concerned with what I eat at home, a lot of takeout that I eat, because either they don't post their ingredients, or because I don't believe them. I don't have Covid-19. And Jesus, for those of you who believe, doesn't have it either...

    Good & Bad News

    That's how I originally spelled it but autocorrect 'fixed' it. Sorry, I'll go back and try to correct it. And yeah, I'm one of those -ugh- Texans.

    First time traveling on train advice/help

    Has *nothing* to do with their base pay; I have relatives who make half that, serving people who rarely tip for a service, not guaranteed to them, to do what that they cannot do themselves. But that does not diminish what the RedCaps do. Their tip is for the wonderful service the RedCaps...

    Good & Bad News

    Deming IS that bad. I remember being cheated at a gas station there in 1975. In later years when I was driving between West Texas and Phoenix I made it a point to stop in Las Cruces and not stop again till I got to Globe. But sometimes instead I have gone through Hatch from whence come my...

    Long distance considerations

    I'd like to know where you got the avatar of one of my cats. It looks like the oldest one, Peaches, and she says she will sue if she finds out it's her.

    Chicago Travel Order - 14 day quarantine

    Yeah, that's basically what I said, it's not an alternative because the Builder misses both regardless of which leaves first. My only respite would be if the Builder was so late that the metro lounge would be open the next morning by the time I got there. I think I could get away with it if I...

    Chicago Travel Order - 14 day quarantine

    Thanks but actually, I'm coming from FTW to LAX before I take the CS to PDX... my bad, I didn't mention that. This trip has been on my bucket list forever, never gone further north on the CS than San Jose and never having ridden the Builder at all. I'm also booked on the SWC to Lamy where I meet...

    Chicago Travel Order - 14 day quarantine

    Thanks for your concern Jim. I have been paying attention, unfortunately some of the information out there is conflicting. Add to that, I am currently living in a county that has had single-digit covid-19 cases and zero deaths. During the winter of 2018-2019 41 people died of flu or of...

    Amtrak CEO live stream broadcast Monday

    I thought the interviewer wasted a lot of time throwing softballs. I was disappointed in the lack of viewer questions, not that I ever saw that offered (not to non-subscribers anyway). I thought his answers to the few meaningful questions weren't particularly clear. Maybe I'm just feeling...

    Amtrak CEO live stream broadcast Monday

    Early to bed, early to rise... I hope this will be worth it. I have a Western trip planned and I pray it won't be the last. Bless you for tuning in.

    Amtrak CEO live stream broadcast Monday

    Looks like you have to register for it to see it live. I hope it will be recorded for those who can't attend. It's this Monday at 10 AM ET I hope I'm not violating any board policy by pasting the actual wording of the RPA announcement. "We Need You To Sign Up! Amtrak CEO Flynn Live Online...

    Cross country travel: are there any quarantines affecting train travel

    It's not that it's "an unbearable limitation" on my freedom, but I wonder at the wisdom (not to mention safety) of constantly, for hours, breathing my own carbon dioxide. I'm okay wearing a mask in the vicinity of others but I'm not going to wear it in open-air sunshine, I'm not going to wear...

    Amtrak Service Reductions

    This article seems to suggest that but it's not really spelled out. I hope it's not going to happen.

    Cross country travel: are there any quarantines affecting train travel

    I worried about that too but I think as long as you're just going through these places on the train, you're fine. I doubt getting off to stretch your legs would be of any concern (keep your mask on!). The problem I see is having to stay overnight somewhere because of an inability to connect to...

    New dining options (flex dining) effective October 1, 2019

    Yeah that's why "it's evaluating when it can safely begin full meal service again." Sheesh.

    Amtrak booking website/issues/timetables removed

    I'm wondering about the "multiple trains" too. If it's one of Amtrak's options for a trip on the results screen, doesn't Amtrak then guarantee the connections? I'm getting that option on a trip I want to book, connecting two trains, one arriving at the connecting station just over an hour before...

    Amtrak restores staffing positions at Marshall station

    I'm wondering how that's going to work now that the Lamy station has been turned into a restaurant/bar? I haven't seen it in about 3 years so I don't know if the new stuff took over the whole station.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    What do you make of the CDC now saying Covid-19 doesn't spread easily from contaminated surfaces? I was very surprised. They haven't reversed themselves about hand washing at least
