I do wonder how much notice Amtrak had to at least prepare some options or relay options to passengers as they arrived at the station. Even if it was to tell passengers we can bus you to wherever but not starting until 8am or whenever. At that hour how much help is the Amtrak helpline? I...

That sucks but at least you got early enough notice to make necessary changes and were prepared for necessary changes. I have thought about a weekend type trip to OKC just to ride the Heartland Flyer myself.

Telling passengers to fend for themselves should never be an option for Amtrak. In this case Amtrak should have stepped up and taken care of the passengers that got the boot. The "Oh they will take care of you afterwards" is not acceptable. I wonder how many passengers did not have the...

Watching your train pull into Galesberg just now on Virtual Railfan lol

I would hope that since Amtrak is publicly funded that they will have zero choice in the matter and information would have to be forthcoming.

Nice trip report and some great photos! I definitely have the Canadian cross country train on my bucket list.

The Big 10 curve cam is back online on YouTube.

Do you not run into the limit we get for doing to many searches too quickly? It seems as though after about seven searches or so I get error messages telling me I have to try later.

Yeah, some of the Virtual Railfan cameras have full pan, tilt, and zoom features. I think moderators in those chat have access to the cameras to operate them.

How do they go about re-railing the cars in the tunnel?

Is it that lone square window on the upper level that identifies it as a transdorm?

Is one coach and one sleeper even worth the effort of running? And here I didnt think it could get any worse the The Eaglette.

Thats my favorite Flex meal. Everyones tolerance for sodium is different so always at least try it out once for yourself.

And it will stay that way as long as the LD routes are only ever given table scraps. I am glad though that LD at least got SOMETHING this time around. Not everyone has the privilege of living in the area Amtrak puts most of its focus and investment in. Most states West of the Mississippi have...

$700 million for LD but $7 billion for NEC.

Someone must have bought the 100 foot garden hose they needed.

Its even worse when the next generation of riders ends up being disappointed.

We want them to use the same services paying customers do when they take a trip. I can promise you they never had any Flex meals touch their lips on the Cardinal or Eaglette. Why are Flex meals ok for paying customers but not for them?

Figures. Cant be bothered to ride the product they put out.

Do the executives get the proper experience on the Eaglette and Cardinal or is there a special car for them with a private chef?
