    What should Amtrak change?

    Curious for any links to pictures of these "Ampad" interiors please? I searched for a very short time and didn't find any.

    Amtrak operational technology inventory may be incomplete

    I ran across this Amtrak security story today. I tried to search for a thread to apply it to but drew a blank. https://fedscoop.com/amtrak-ot-may-not-be-on-track/

    Coast Starlight hits truck in Ventura County CA, partially derails (6/28/23)

    Did the people on the first sleeper with quite a lean to it get out on the uphill side, or did they appear to get out of sleeper 2, or ??? It looks unstable. 🙃

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    Is it chilly upstairs too? Tyring to remember if any of the windows caught sunlight, if they do, that area may be warmer for you.

    California Zephyr discussion

    Guessing f or b is forwards or backwards, f meaning bedrooms and toilets to the front. I don’t get the A-C-E or B-D yet… Edit guessing A-C-E and B-D has to do with which way the beds face in those bedrooms, whether you get thrown out of or into bed on an emergency brake 🛑 ( or also which way...

    Capitol Limited discussion

    We are booked on the CL for this October. I have never been inside a CCC/diner-lounge. I normally use Craig Mashburn site for car floor plans, but I don’t see one for a CCC there. I did some other light searching and found some interior pictures but no floor plan. Does anyone have a link for...

    BiPAP in sleeper and coach?

    My mother has a CPAP machine. When I have heard her use it, it seemed really loud and I couldn't even imagine trying to sleep near that device. Was hers abnormally loud or an old unit? Maybe so, but if I was in overnight coach and someone wanted to use one of those all night within a few...

    Ticketing Station, Staffed Station, Checked Baggage station?

    There was a different thread which was talking about firearms and needing to go to a "ticketing station". It seems locked now and so I am starting a new thread which I don't like to do because I waste moderators time to have to move it. Is a Ticketing Station (a walk up desk with a person? a...

    Longest flight experiences

    I see discussion of not knowing where one is on a commercial flight. I can usually get a moving map gps (Google Maps or Foreflight) on smartphones to work in the window seat on national flights. I assume one can get it to lock on internationally too? I read gps may not work well over the...

    Oh, this looks like a really bad idea for roadworthy modern cars to me. Any of the fluids may be a problem, fuel tank and its venting, battery fluid venting, washer fluid tanks, motor oil seals and vents, plus all the random vintages and designs of cars. I looked up these railcars and they...
