This should mean you are on the sleeper designated as the Trans dorm car. Amtrak employees are bunking on the sleeper too. We were moved from a sleeper to the trans dorm for 2 days from now.

I remember Diet Coke but not Coke Zero?, LSL. Full ethyl Coke and Sprite available too.

I was thinking that the west end concourse was generically either manual stairs or elevator only trying to get down. I am thinking about having to drag two + 50lb suitcases .8 miles and whether to do the stairs or elevator. I am guessing the west end concourse elevators are either up to...

It appeared to me that it was at least only one employees policy. I intend to follow the Amtrak policy published on their website until someone shows me a new published policy clients can see. Moynihan let us in with only a same day arrival. That same employee broke away from checking us in...

The key to understanding ATC is to know what they are supposed to be saying before they say it. 😀

We think we were 12 minutes early. We were even held back for several minutes for a Metra train and something else (couldn’t understand radio) in Chicago.

No cap, just some metal bars and some safety looking yellow/red? straps.

Noting this appeared to happen to us today at the Chicago lounge. We have same day arrival and departure on sleeper. Wife showed them our arrival ticket, told us no, I need to see the departure ticket. Wife scrolled phone screen, same reply, wife scrolled more and oh ok I see a departure. If...

My CZ today was like this, the 40 car was a standard sleeper instead of a real trans dorm. There was no way to get to the baggage car without going around. The end train fan window of 40 was one of the most dirtiest windows I have ever seen - almost no light came through it. There was a 32...

Thanks! That helps, yes CZ. Is there a phraseology standard manual for engineer/conductor? (like in the air we have the manuals Pilot/Controller Glossary, AIM Chap 4 Sec 2, JO 7110.65Z ATC)

Halpin-CP 1750 39 160.695 BNSF CP 1750-Galesburg 51 160.875 BNSF So, between Halpin (Albia, IA) and Galesburg IL we have "CP 1750". How does one figure out where/what CP 1750 is?

I hadn't been checking sold out or not for CZ around the 29th on or before the 6th so I don't know what it looked like at that time. Just trying to do my part and add a log to the speculation fire :) 🔥

For most smaller non-towered airports, there is no car rental counter. You call and ask the FBO how they handle rental cars. Some FBOs will get a car arranged for you usually at a bit higher price full service, or some will give you a number to call for what works best in their area...

Noting for information purposes, we were booked in car 532 for 08-29-22. On 08-06-22, they moved us to car 540 trans dorm. So, either the 532 got removed for the 08-29-22 run, or, they started canceling people for 09-01-22 run and people were madly rebooking back into August on the 6th and...

Is a Turo type rental an option for you? (Like air bnb but cars).

Our home station has no checked bags so I just want to be prepared to carry (like request the wife have her things packed efficiently as I carry her heavy bags too). I am sure it will all work out ok, I just want to look like I know what I am doing and not be clueless. I don’t mind reduced SCA...

Our reservation was just changed to a Superliner transdorm this weekend for a trip in a couple weeks. I have been searching and reading about the experience here, some info is older and may be out of date. Some questions are answered, but a few remain. - Is there a luggage area for a large...

Are they bussing LSL passengers too?

Reminds me of “The Major and the Minor” movie.

Getting covered in manure coming out if the car gets sideways or upside started crossing my mind...
