One time I was inbound on the Starlight #11, they took the connecting Sunset Limited passengers (those with a guaranteed reservation) off in Santa Barbara and bused them to Palm Springs to connect with #2. With two seperate tickets for each segment, I don't know how/if that bus would work for...

In your example, the time of departure and arrival is more of a concern to me than the duration. Given a choice I would probably lean toward a daylight journey. For that length of trip I would, at the least, book a roomette - daytime or night. We've done LAX to EMY and reverse (day), LAX to WMJ...

Changes build on earlier improvements to Amtrak’s fare structure https://media.amtrak.com/2023/10/amtrak-announces-simplified-fares-coming-soon/

I don't use Google Pay. I haven't set up any subscriptions recently either (and not Google AFAIK). Those are still in the "pending" category. I'll just keep checking my account. EDIT Update: Just found this (thanks to Google). I do use autofill on Chrome. Pending transactions When you use a...

Just noticed this on my card this morning... Now Google is getting in the act!

Hey @drdumont , NW6A here!

Being able to transmit is a whole different ball of wax, expecially regulatory.

Most scanners, including inexpensive scanners will receive both AM and FM modulation - it is set based on the frequency programmed. Look at the frequency coverage (and modulation) for the BC-125AT here: https://uniden.com/products/bc125at

Most scanners will automatically set the mode of modulation (AM, FM, etc.) based on the frequency programmed. Any modulation may be used on any frequency if desired (and allowed). The inexpensive Uniden BC-125AT will receive both AM and FM. AM is automatically set when listening to aircraft...

Meanwhile, Southern California's Metrolink alerts/status updates continue to appear on X.

I"ve seen that, not just with FNBO. I believe they are "test" charges for a possible later charge. Just what I "think"!

Agreed. A scanner will provide much more info (entertainment) than a "scanner" app.

@AmtrakBlue ... your guy on the platform blowing the whistle appears at 1:50, LOL!

I don't pay to use Twitter; I'm subjected to advertising. I only follow Amtrak, Amtrak Alerts, Amtrak OIG, Pacific Surfliner, Metrolink, National Weather Service so that reduces what I see. I dont like, comment or otherwise respond to any Tweet. If pay-to-play on Twitter happens (as has been...

Just read on FB that Amtrak Alerts are back on X/Twitter. I checked yes, they are back! EDIT: Well maybe not. Still only seeing two alerts that were there earlier.

Just read on FB that Amtrak Alerts are back on X/Twitter. Nevermind, still only seeing the two alerts when I first posted this.

Yes, appeared to be very well attended on Saturday. Looking at the date/time data on my photos, we got in line about 1100 AM (near the piano and main waiting area) and first equpment photo was taken at 1145. We passed the 60 minute wait sign at 1130. So, not too bad for us.

Saturday 9 September I traveled on the Pacific Surfliner #770 and #777 to/from LA Union Station for the Train Festival Here are some images from the well-attended 2-day event. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAV25C Greeted and conversed with Amtrak's Lamar "#ComeRideWithMe" Smith who was also there for...

Yea, the last one I see is on the 11th regarding Pacific Surfliner Coast Starlight Schedule Changes for September 16-17. With a two day-gap in posts, I now see a couple of Pacific Surfliner alerts posted in the past hour. 0930 on Sep 13. I have a Twitter/X account.
