FYI...The Business Class car is at the locomotive end of the train.

We got the link earlier in this thread but here is some additional info (FWIW). From a post in "Amtrak Fans" this morning on Facebook: "so if you use Amtrak guest rewards and their points for shopping to earn points, be aware that the link has been removed from the AGR website and is being...

I would rather have a few hours than an hour or so. Enough time to grab something to eat, etc. That said, I always build in an overnight between connecting trains (Chicago, New Orleans, Seattle, Portland, Emeryville). LA is my "home" station.

"Central Japan Railway Co. said Friday it has given up its plan to launch a new high-speed maglev train between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2027 amid long-running environmental opposition in Shizuoka Prefecture, pushing back the schedule possibly to 2034 or later."...

Yep. There is no link (that I could find) on Amtrak's page when I'm logged in.

Good point! It used to be called "Points for Shopping" under ways to earn. I can't find it ether. Retail and Specialty Partners has always been there along with Points for shopping. I can't even find my shopping history and a couple of pending transactions. Hope this is temporary.

The info about access during this construction project could be better. Within Amtrak's advisory ( https://www.amtrak.com/alert/chicago-union-station-access-impacted-by-street-project.html ) about CHI there is a link to an image which shows access points, etc. More useful than the Chicago Union...

Just found it. Medfly Preventive Release Program https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/PDEP/prpinfo/

I'd like to know that too!

I tracked this interesting flight this morning. By the regular pattern, I'd say aircraft N65U was doing an aerial survey (photos, mapping?) over the San Fernando Valley this morning. Altitude 6600 ft, speed 155 kt. N65U is a 1967 Beech 65-A90-1. Multi-engine turbo prop. Nine seats, two engines...

I'm now using this site as I am listening to air traffic control on my scanner. I listen to the Burbank area of SOCAL Approach TRACON and airports BUR, VNY and WHP. Interesting to locate aircraft I hear on the scanner.

Even if you are paying for the trip, by providing Pat's number she is earning her own points for the trip. She would earn points for her portion of the basic rail fare (not the accomodation charge). If you don't do that, those points are lost. We each have our own AGR accounts and seperate...

I recently started exploring this site: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ I can zoom in and ID an aircraft currently flying over my house. I'm under the approach (from the west) to Hollywood-Burbank Airport (BUR).

As far as I can tell, everything INSIDE the station is the same. It is just the outside construction (Canal Street) that is potentially affecting access. Amtrak announcement

The Amtrak alert you linked to describes the construction taking place on Canal Street, not Clinton. Within that alert is a link to a map which corresponds to the description in the alert...

Normally, you have to show a sleeper ticket to the desk person at CUS Lounge. I believe you are correct that anyone can use Red Caps.

Was always curious why they didn't have a loco at each end of the consist and operate "push-pull" for the Winter Park Express. They did just that for that VIP special train to Longmont and return last week with the same consist so the capability was there.

While these two attempts do not! ANY ROUTE SELECTED ROUTE - SOUTHWEST CHIEF SELECTED. FROM AMTRAK'S WEBSITE. Fun, isn't this!

https://railforless.us/ appears to be working for me (today, Sat 3/16) on Chrome (with the exception I have been discussing above).
