This proposal for passenger service is what the California Rail Plan should be working on instead of the weak plan they have. This route, if it was state owned could be fixed up! The private owners are not interested in doing much. #1 elimination of at grade crossings #2 upgrading the road bed...

I have both cards too. I opened each one and read all the document. I’m going to keep the Mastercard not the Preferred Mastercard cause I don’t travel that much and see no need to pay $99 just to get one upgrade and one companion coupon. What not reported is the Foreign transaction fees. I’m...

I wish DBAHN could take over the AMTRAK booking site. Amtrak has a much less complicated system ( trains and destinations ) than DBAHN, so they could fix all our problems in less than six months!!

Traveling west on the Zephyr, I’ve done that and enjoyed the scenery. If you would like to explore the San Framcisco Bay Area. There are two regional routes of interest. From San Jose to SF and then the route from Santa Rosa to Larkspur. check the schedules because you will have to overnight...

The menus on every Amtrak route I've take serve the same items. I'd love to see Restaurant Impossible take on Amtrak's menu and service. That said, I believe firmly that the dinning car, view car/cafe, and the parlor car ( this line up is from the Coast Starlight) should be on every long...

The Train tracker does not seem to work other that to show the general location of the train #.The NARP train tracker has more info. I wonder if its a issue with the federal government?

We purchased and used a California Rail Pass for a trip from Dunsmuir, CA to San Diego and return. The overall trip was a great success. The purchase of the pass was a failure, as it has to be done over the phone and we had to pick up and pay for the pass at a staffed California Amtrak station...
