Nice, I was on the USS Wisconsin. I had a lower coffin locker, so sleeping in the top bunk is fine by me.

Yep, I missed this thread. Doh!!! Thanks JATX

I am looking at https://asm.transitdocs.com/map and see test train, Amtrak 934, from EMY to CHI. Just wondering what the test is all about? Thanks, JATX

TE22 is back on schedule today. 6/8/19 Hopefully your trip goes well.

Looks like it. The TE22 was 3 hours late to Taylor and now heading to Temple.

You can check for alerts on twitter. It somewhat gives you and idea of what is going on. https://twitter.com/AmtrakAlerts Hope that helps a bit. Looks like a freight train derailment.

I guess we will both find out soon. If so, I am cancelling and flying to where I need to be.

The link below is from Amtrak. I am going around the time you are too. I am going to check back on the 8th and see if the service is still suspended. https://www.amtrak.com/alert/amtrak-service-temporarily-suspended-between-missouri-and-texas-through-arkansas.html

The TE 22 was cancelled today. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/williamson-county/freight-train-derails-outside-taylor/2057356803 Hopefully they will get this resolved quickly as the TE is suppose to be fully operational again in a day or two. JATX

I'll be on the 421 heading out of Austin to LAX. When the train stops in SAS how long do I have if I want to meet a friend to go out on the town?

What car will you be in? I just came from CHI a few weeks back so the consist may be the same.

Sometimes I check the dining options just to see how the pricing looks, but I would definitely book a room for a short trip. I had done that from DFW to AUS and the trip is usually 6 hours, but the train was 3 hours late. Glad I got the room. Got a nap in and didn't have to stress out. JATX

I just had a great experience with Amtrak. I saw that my roomette had gone down $42 dollars and I called it in. The agent told me that the fair was for a downstairs room and didn't apply to my room. I decided to stay in my current room without the price change. The agent put me on hold and came...

Awesome thanks everyone. I just booked my ticket today and I am looking forward to my trip. JATX

I will be getting into LAX Sept 2016 on the SL. Do we still have to get off the train at 530am or has Amtrak changed to let Sleeping car passangers stay on board a little longer? Thanks JATX

Hi, I am heading to Milwaukee and I am taking my Thermos collapsible cooler with me. I have used it before and it seems to stay cold for most of the first day. I bring extra ice packs and freeze small blocks of ice that I keep in Ziploc bags so they don't leak. I used to get ice from the SCA...

That is awesome news. Glad you got it back safe and sound. JATX
