Thanks guys. You always come through.

We've been home 2 weeks from our LD Amtrak trip, so it's time to start planning another! If we ride from LCH to WPT, then catch the next EB westbound back to SAC, catch the Zephyr to DEN, spend a few nights, rent a car and drive to Raton and catch the Chief to LAX and the SL to LCH, how many...

The SM was our first ride on a Viewliner car. Ours was a roomette. There are advantages and disadvantages-the upper bunk is more roomy and has a window (not so much like a coffin as on the Superliner cars). The sink and toilet being in the room is good, but takes up valuable space. The large...

We are a retired couple (70 yrs.) Last year we took a 9,000 mile Amtrak in the West. This year (April 2- April 15) we went 6,000 miles North and East from Louisiana. In our opinion, the scenery and the trains and tracks are better in the West, but this trip was very nice, too. Our first train...

By the way, I did turn in a complete report to Customer Relations. I hope that the Good SCAs receive a commendation and the bad a reprimand.

We just returned from a LD trip. We had a roomette all the way, so I would like to rate our SCAs. CONO- Al GREAT CL- Darryl POOR SM- Patrick GREAT SS- Jr. POOR Crescent- Grady Great We don't ask for much from our SCAs- ice, coffee, schedule updates, directions to other cars, and clean...

We just returned from a LD trip. One leg was on the CL EB to WAS. This was our first time to ride this train. First our SCA put us in the wrong car. We had to move all of our stuff to another car. Embarrassing. We never had any ice. We were sent to the diner car for it. We had a roomette(#2)...

Thanks for the update. I'm trying to track it on Dixieland and calling "Julie". Not a great start for our 13 day, 6000 mile trip. But it will be worth it once we get going.

Thanks

Thanks. I just called. They said there was a vehicle accident west of Houston. Know anything about that?

Does anyone know the problem with the Sunset Ltd. today? The only info that I get is there is a service disruption. We're waiting for the train in LCH, headed to NOL. So far, it's about 4 hours late. Thank you.

Thank you very much . We are traveling sleeper, so we will use the lounges. Wonderful.

Can we store our luggage at the stations in NOL, CHI, WAS, while we sightsee, until our train departs? Thank you.

Hurrah! Thanks to JIM, I got our trip booked the way I wanted it. We're paying for coach LCH to NOL and NOL to HMD, then starting our AGR on the CONO to CHI, the Cap. LTD to WAS, the SM to MIA. Then returning MIA/WAS, the Crescent to NOL, then paying for coach NOL/LCH. This way we get to...

Is there any way that I can take a different route going to MIA and coming home from MIA to LCH? I called AGR. They want me to take the Crescent both ways. I would rather take the Capitol LTD from WAS to CHI, then CHI to NOL (the CONO)either going or coming home. Thank you.

Sorry about my last post. I think the traveler answered my question- 40,ooo-44,000 points. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your help. Just one more question. How many points will my husband and I need for LCH/MTR on the SL,CONO, the Lakeshore Limited, and the Adirondack. Then back on the Adirondack to either NYP or WAS and on to CHI on the Cardinal, the CONO to NOL & the SL to LCH? We would...

Thank you for your help. I hope that I am not being a bother, but I want to understand. I guess I could call AGR, but I've found that I don't always get consistent answers from different agents. Maybe, I don't make myself clear. I don't especially want to spend the night in NOL or New York...

Taking the Adirondack sounds great. How many AGR points would it be if we go LCH/NOL, NOL/CHI, CHI/NYP (on the Cardinal),NYP/MTR stay 2 nights, MTR/SDY, SDY/CHI (on the Lakeshore), CHI/NOL, NOL/LCH. I know we have to spend the nights in NOL. Staying in NYC is okay, too. Will this all work...

WOW, what great information (as always). These suggestions will definetly help me make a plan. I'll let you know how it goes. I didn't know about the Dome. Thanks again.
