Wifi at Chicago, LA and Washington Union stations?

[user 6862]

Is there open or free access wifi at Chicago, LA and Washington Union stations in the lounges?

Thanks

Chicago, yes. The password is posted in the lounge near the computers.

Washington, yes. Don't recall if password is needed.

LA - alas, I did not have time to see the lounge my one time there, but I think it does.

WAS, yes no password.

LAX, yes, can't remember about the password but I think none needed (or easy to get from desk).

LA yes. The attendant that checked me in gave me the password of the day when I checked in. I left my luggage behind a comfy chair and plugged the laptop in to charge while I went to Phillipe's for breakfast.

Before the recent construction at SAC, I did get a signal near where the new "sleeper passenger lounge" is now.

Any word on recent progress with the SAC interior? I'll be there early morning on 3/16.

In LAUS, wifi is offered in Amtrak's Metropolitan Lounge but, not the station in general. Last year when there, the password resembled a phone number (I'm guessing it was!).

Great, many thanks

I think CHI is amtrak1234 or something like that.

CUS is only in the Metro lounge, not in the general public area.

...except that WiFi is *also* offered by Metro (the subway operator) in the LA station in general. That WiFi is usable from the main waiting room and the gardens; the signal does not reach upstairs to the Metro Lounge or the platforms.

You can't get WiFi on the platforms in LA, amusingly.

Unless, perhaps, the CS consist (with PPC attached) is in the station and the PPC's wifi is activated.

If you can get close enough to a Pacific Surflner, you can access "Amtrak Connect"

In Chicago, it's pretty lousy. But, you can head over to the Metro Bar http://www.metrodeli.com/ and they have great wifi. It's a good joint all around too. Food, drink, music.
