Some photos from my trip to Gathering 2022. Trip to Chicago from Cleveland

Just signed up at the website, set up security notifications, etc. My balance from BOA since last payment has transferred, The website seems to work well and is cleaner than the BOA site. I was pleased with BOA and hope FNBO will be the same. And yes, that sticky on the card was a bit of a...

Wednesday Oct 12 Having started the night an hour late, I found our train had made up time across Arkansas and was now looking to be early into St Louis. The Mississippi River was running beside our train as dawn erupted and I chose to get a quick shower and grab breakfast before we reached St...

Monday October 10. I awoke around 6am, showered and went down to the diner for breakfast. The omelet hit the spot as Jim and I discussed the events of the previous evening. We had lost more time overnight and were now near three hours down. As we crossed the desert, we were now close to...

Saturday October 8 This morning we would meet the AUers at Santa Fe Depot for our all-day rides on San Diego Trolleys. At 9:30 we met JebR from Minneapolis/St Paul, Long Train Running from New Jersey, Cal and his mother from California, San Diegan from California and other members who rode...

Friday October 7 After a quick breakfast, we decided to walk down to the bay to see all the changes that had taken place since our last visit. For Jim, who had been stationed here in the Navy in the 1960s, the changes were enormous. Many of those buildings and small stores were now replaced...

Thursday Oct 6 I awoke at Barstow, California around 4am and found myself still not adjusted to the time change since it was actually 7am back in Ohio. Breakfast would begin at 5:30 since our anticipated arrival in LA was usually around 7am. I had the cheese omelet, potatoes, and biscuit and...

After an enjoyable 9 days of riding Amtrak, Coasters, Sprinters, SD Trolleys and a multitude of Ambuses, I reached home in Ohio to find a note from my doctor to prepare for my heart ablation procedure on Tues Oct 18. As I recover from that ordeal, I wanted to write my trip report and perhaps...

Enjoyed meeting you and riding trains in SD. Glad you had a good trip back to Netherlands. Best wishes

Welcome to AU.

Received my Preferred card on Saturday and will activate next week. Same credit line as before. Like the art work on the card. We shall see if FNBO works as well as the BOA and Chase cards in the past. Not much paperwork explaining the ins and outs of the benefits of the card. Would like a...

Still waiting to hear official change from Amtrak but website does show the schedule mentioned by Thully here

We traveled on 448/449 over the past two weeks. These trains do not have checked baggage service, but our car attendant placed our larger bags in #10 and if the H room is not in use, it has been used for bag storage as well. Coach passengers on Superliners have an option to store larger bags...

My wife & I experienced an Amtrak employee on our first CZ trip from SAC, who certainly did not represent 99% Amtrak personnel. She was assigned as LSA on #6 out of EMY having only office experience. The regular LSA had called off at the last minute and this replacement was told to take the...

Welcome to AU. Wife & I love Chicago

Wife and I both use Cpaps on the train. Always need extension cord when we are in the bunks top and bottom. When I travel alone it easily fits at lower end of bed and I have a super long hose that works well. I do not sleep well without it over the past 3 years I have used it. My cardiologist...
