Make sure the conductor or car attendant is aware. He can monitor your exit from the train to ensure you have time.

Mine was definetly a "Tell us about your Amtrak experience" survey email.

Completed one of the surveys (we've all done these) regarding my recent Pacific Surfliner trip (the rare mileage trip). Toward the end, they appologized for the train being late (it was 24 minutes late). This appeared without any previous questions regarding on-time performance. Followed were a...

I would call Amtrak on this one.

Yes, that is correct. The Union Pacific qualified crew (pilot) was required for us to use the Alameda Corridor.

December 27, 2023 In railfan circles, "rare mileage" refers to traveling a route not normally used by passenger trains. Todays trip from Chatsworth to Fullerton, in part, qualifies for that status. For the week of December 26 through 29 Metrolink is performing track and signal maintenance and...

I do that with my Chase card (formerly my AGR credit card). I set up an auto-pay to the card for a small monthly bill and then an auto-pay to the card to pay it each month. The card now has monthly activity that I don't even notice!

Not at all unusual with officer involved shootings, at least in California.

KTLA TV 5 in Los Angeles posted this article about the outage... https://ktla.com/news/california/all-metrolink-service-will-be-down-for-4-days-heres-why/

It was implemented during Covid so people could judge occupancy and therefore their risk of exposure during the pandemic. Not surprised it has now gone away.

I have a coach reservation for a same-day round trip on the Pacific Surfliner. At the time I booked, business class was "sold out" (I read, unavailable). I checked this morning and BC is available so I proceeded to upgrade my reservation. When I selected the entire trip (same-day, two-leg...

In 2019 we (wife and I) took the SW Chief LA to Chicago and overnighted. Then the Lake Shore Limited to Buffalo/Depew. Spent several days there; rented a car and drove up to the falls and another trip to Lockport (Erie Canal). Back on the LSL to NY Penn Station. Spent several days in NYC (Statue...

I am booked on a Pacific Surfliner round trip (Chatsworth to Fullerton and return) that week to get that "rare mileage" on the East Bank, UP LA Sub and a bit of the Alameda Corridor Sub (not the corridor itself).

OK, now I understand your situation.

"Will LA Metro buses, subway and rail still be operating?" "Yes, LA Metro buses, subway and rail will be operating during this time." https://metrolinktrains.com/schedules/no-service/

I don't know how current/accurate this info is but there is a phone number listed. I found it via Google: Osceola Station - Parking in Osceola | ParkMe Maybe try the Osceola chamber of commerce/visitor bureau. Maybe a local hotel would accomodate?

Carnival is trying to clear up what constitutes a "service dog". "In response to guest comments, Carnival Cruise Line brand ambassador John Heald has offered some guidance on service dogs onboard, including where the dogs are permitted and what types of service dogs can set sail on the Fun...

Sounds like a question better asked of the folks at OSC. If allowed, you would probably need to notify them of leaving your vehicle for an extended time. I know that LA Union Station allows parking up to 30 days (we've done it) but they do require registration for any parking more than three days.

I'm looking into making a "rare mileage" run on the Pacific Surfliner that week...round trip sufficient to travel the bypass. Looks like lunch in Fullerton. I have traveled the north part of the East Bank line during my years of daily commuting on Metrolink. The southern part will be new. Only...
