    Riding the San Joaquin

    I love the California cars… sad to see them go. IMO the top level of a California car can’t be beat. I do want to ride the san Joaquin’s eventually to compare how the Siemens cars feel from a comfort perspective Have the cafe cars arrived yet? (With vending machines).

    Riding the San Joaquin

    They are in use on the California trains. Jan Joaquin, Capitol Corridor, and Pacific Surfliner. I believe it’s a CA design and bought by Caltrans. They are now being replaced on the San Joaquin with the single level Siemens cars

    Food suggestions on delayed trains

    As a vegetarian, I can’t eat any of Amtrak’s go to emergency meals, so I always carry extra food. Like 2 meals worth + snacks

    Map of California Zephyr route?

    Most modern cameras can and do have the geolocation data stored in the photo. You just need a program that can read that exif data stored in the photo. For example on an iPhone (Which can do this natively from the photos app): https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/view-exif-metadata-photos-app/

    Horn noise and fumes

    I’ve only noticed the fumes in a tunnel, but like others said, getting the 2nd/3rd sleeper should help!

    New San Joaquins pdf timetable

    I thought the service pattern was Bay <-> Bakersfield and sac <-> Bakersfield. This schedule doesn’t seem to show that? it seems to show bay -> sac -> Bakersfield which doesn’t make sense

    Wow that’s a super confusing to read schedule. Most of the Sacramento portion makes no sense …

    Hypothetical High Platform Superliner Replacements

    Just look at france and their double deck TGV… it’s pretty much taken over the fleet because of the capacity advantage, and because platforms can only grow so much. They even run them in pairs! Personally I’m a bit disappointed the third gen hi-level didn’t work out

    Are VRE day and week passes valid for all lines or use one?

    I don’t know if I’d call those galley cars beautiful. We have them on caltrain and … they’re solidly okay at best, and they don’t ride very well. The bombardier cars are more comfortable.

    VTA (San Jose) still not running after shooter incident.

    They also mentioned on the news they have to rebuild one of the buildings because of damage. So reports of controls being damaged make sense
