If Texas Central uses eminent domain and seizes all the land then goes belly up, do they get to auction off the land they seized? By my nature I am always 100% cynical when it comes to for profit entities using eminent domain to take land to build their for profit ventures. I assume they take...

I booked the Travelodge for $160 with taxes and fees in Chicago. Its just for a night of sleep so I dont need super fancy.

That sounds like a rather lengthy consist from what I have read of other consists.

I have bought two trips that I would have loved to have had the card as an option for the extra points. Here's to hoping we get word soon on who the new one is with.

I had your help in getting them fares. I based the trip around that low bucket Zephyr you found. There are a lot of knowledgeable railfans on these forums and its awesome that such a place exists.

EDIT: Got my answer to the where to post question. Decided I didn't want to wait until my DC trip next April so made one that will start on Oct 28 and ends back in Dallas the following Friday. It will be a circle trip. Eagle - Dallas to Chicago Zephyr - Chicago to Emeryville Coast Starlight -...

Dang, doin it right. I want to do a transatlantic cruise and Alaskan cruise at some point. I decided on my first train trip instead for next year to DC.

Im surprised more people havent done measurements themselves lol. Honestly though Amtrak has the ability to measure and post that information for people they just choose to try and keep everything secret.

Thank you, I can probably make that 10/20 date work.

Even a fresh install of Chrome didn't work. EDIT: 100th try was the trick.

I am unable to login into either the app or the website. It just redirects itself and doesn't actually log me in on either one. Tried on both FireFox and Edge. Is it that hard for them to get a simple login working?

Yeah I found one on the 7th for $804 but I would spend that in hotels waiting for an affordable option from EMY back to DAL. Sorry, didn't mean to de-rail the thread.

Westbound Zephyr is never coming off high bucket this year is it?

Im hoping most issues are ironed out before my trrip April of next year. But I'm in room 2 both directions at least.

I've always wondered, can Amtrak not do a quick restock at a station along the route instead of just being out of something for the remainder of the route? Or am I being too smart and expecting management to figure out stuff like that?

I wonder if my luck will extend to hotels lol. Will find out tomorrow, thanks for all the info!

Oh the receipt they give breaks it down by segment. 324 Dallas to Chicago, the segment you chose was spot on at 345, and the same prices on the trip back.

Thank you for the info. Went ahead and booked it since I do have 121 days out for full refund.

Its from Dallas to DC. Ive seen the chart now and are the prices one way or round trip? Amtrak is showing 669 each way for me. Since the charts are by train and each direction is two trains for me do I divide the price by two to compare?

I plan to visit DC April of next year. My head physically cant handle flying at all so im looking into Amtrak for my first time ever. How often do the fares change? Is it unwise to plan that far in advance? If I book it now it would be $1338 for roomette's roundtrip on the Texas Eagle and...
