    Bucket List trip May 2020: trains 421, 4 and 50

    Do you think that all those doctors and nurses who work in hospitals think Covid19 is a hoax?

    Amtrak asks a passenger to move ...

    It's good that there are people who do what they're told to do without question. But then, that isn't me.

    Amtrak asks a passenger to move ...

    It seems to me that it's time for fully grown adults to learn how to say "NO" and refuse to comply with "authority" I learned this simple technique when I refused military service in 1967 and then later in 1977 when I said "NO" to a conductor on Amtrak Zephyr who wanted me to give up one of my...

    Can I book 2 seats to have extra room? (Southwest Chief LAX>CHI)

    I've done JUST THAT, in fact, I bought 2 rail passes, bought all my tickets in advance and got on the train. Upon boarding I explained to the conductor what I had when he came to my seat and all was fine. If there aren't two seats together you may have to wait until you get to a station where...

    Thanks, but I don't like to take chances. If Amtrak had a better on time record, I would

    Hotels at Amtrak connection points nationwide

    Because neither thing you mentioned has ever happened. What usually happens is the train I am riding on is late and I miss my connection. I live in Tucson and the Sunset Limited going west is often 5 to 9 hours late. Even with 4.5 hours of time between the arrival of that train into Los Angeles...

    Hotels at Amtrak connection points nationwide

    Sure-- I know how to do all that searching too but there are times where the internet, Google, Trip Advisor and other sites don't list certain places. I can attest to that after arriving at destinations only to see some other local hotel that I only could have found in person or if I knew about...

    Hotels at Amtrak connection points nationwide

    Has anyone ever tried to compile a list of the closest hotels to Amtrak stations at all the major connection points where one Amtrak train connects to another? I ask this because I am very much afraid of missing my connection to another train because the one I'm on is very late. If I have a...
