Thanks for the responses. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough on my question. The station stops are still there, but Reno used to have an 'arrive/depart' time listed, which makes it a refresh stop. For comparison, look at the Salt Lake City stop. I don't have the new Timetable yet, and amtrak.com...

I was just looking at the California Zephyr Schedule and noticed that Reno is no longer listed as a stop. Is that accurate? It used to also stop in Winnemucca. Does it still stop there? If not, that is a long time from the Salt Lake Stop to Sacramento, well over 12 hours. I thought they had to...

Great Idea!!!

Welcome to the board and congratulations! Why don't you call the Reno Station and see if they can help set it up for you? If they are willing, maybe you could go to the station the day before with the "goodies", and then the Conductor or Sleeping Car Attendant can retrieve the stuff and get it...

No, but it might make you a foamer! :giggle:

We haven't had any issues drinking the coffee. But I would use bottled water for brushing teeth.

Yeah, I remember that rack. I think it would be bit short for the bag. I would hate to have the bag bounce down on my head. I know this isn't real important, just want the bag out from underfoot. Can't store it downstairs because I can't lock it all up.

How big are your duffel bags? The one I plan on using is 28" x 13.5" x 14.5". It's also a soft sided duffel.

Okay all you experts! Does anyone have any idea how much usable space (dimensions) is under the sofa in a Superliner Bedroom? It's not all that important, but more of a curiosity. I want to see if there is enough space to put our overnight bag there, to free up floor space. I don't want to...

Welcome to the board! Dave, the Palatka, FL (PAK) station you are wanting to leave from is a platform only. You will not be able to pick up your tickets there. Go here for more details. . The Deland, FL (DLD) station would be a better choice unless you want the tickets mailed to you (not...

:giggle: Anybody over 30 was old then. He was 46 when he started serving under Nixon in 1969.

I'm glad you were able to meet him. I was still in Jr high and heard the news on my portable radio the following morning. My comment was not intended was not intended to cause hurt or pain. My apologies if I offended. I guess Newt will quit when he's ready.

I have no problem with Newt getting Secret Service protection. I'm not sure if you are old enough to remember what happened to Senator Bobby Kennedy on the campaign trail, but I am. I would hate to have anything bad happen to a candidate because they didn't have protection. Edited to make more...

He does have a very distinctive voice. Oh the stories that man could tell...Glad to see he is still getting out and about!

Wow. Nice! I agree there's nothing wrong with asking. Just talking about stated policy. Amtrak can do whatever they want, if someone with authority approves it.

That's what I expected. True Customer Service is long gone. I think that the OP's expectation of a full refund may be too high. But that's only my opinion. I was pleased with the response from Amtrak when we had an issue, while it would have been nice to get a bigger voucher, it was fine. After...

I understand the OP's frustration. Phone calls are faster, mail will be slower. One of jobs I had involved doing Customer Service, which sometimes people would try to get something free, or a large gift certificate for no reason at all. I don't have any experience in late flights. Has anyone...

I carefully read his issue before responding. And reread to make sure I didn't miss anything. Amtrak does not offer refunds, according to the website. The OP is asking for an exception. He also wants a response. I listed the tickets for the show in case he also had any question in that area...

That is awesome!!!! :giggle: We were talking about taking that very same run to do the whole CS route. Thanks for the info, Alan!

Welcome to the forum!! I'm sorry to hear you missed out on your show. From what I understand, Amtrak has a narrow qualification for refunds, that can be found here. I would call Amtrak Customer Service again and accept a voucher, unless you do not plan on taking Amtrak again. I personally...
