Train Attendant
Greetings,
I've traveled quite a few times on AGR points and dealt with lateness, but I've yet to have to deal with a missed connection from an LD train.
So with that in mind, I've got a couple trips coming up this summer where I transfer from an LD train to a St. Louis-bound train (both in Chicago, one to the Eagle and one to Illlinois Service).
What do you guys do when it's obvious you're running hours late, who do you call (amtrak or AGR) or who do you talk onboard to in order to assure the best possible outcome? Or will onboard staff come to me to adjust the itinerary?
I have a CZ trip to Chicago changing to #305 in Chicago (2:25 layover). I may end up needing to get off at Galesburg and change to the bus/van to Springfield, or at least get the later Illinois Service train out of Chicago.
