Yeah, I noticed that on the map as well. I was especially surprised to see that #50, the Cardinal, was running very early through the Northeast Corridor and arrived into New York at 8:46pm, 1 hour and 10 minutes early!!

Actually, I have been keeping a running tab on the train status off of Amtrak's main website. I have been recording the data in a spreadsheet. I check the site every 4 to 5 days to update the spreadsheet. I have used the Amtrak Delays website in the past, but prefer to use the official Amtrak...

The City of New Orleans still has its revenue sleeper in addition to the trans-dorm. It has just been moved to the rear of the train. The consist is as follows for the CONO: P42 Trans-dorm Cross Country Cafe Sightseer Lounge Bag-Coach Coach Coach Sleeper

Correct. Your Turn.

I will be on the same train as you in a roomette (car 5800). I will be boarding one stop out of New Orleans in Hammond, LA. Just look for the guy wearing the shirt that says "Great Canadian Rail Adventure" on the front. The City of New Orleans is almost never that late. Most of the time it...

The TE/CONO still share equipment. I saw train 59 (19) pass through Hammond, LA this afternoon. The consist was reversed with the trans-dorm on the rear. Consist was: P42 Sleeper Coach Coach Bag-Coach Sightseer Lounge Cross Country Cafe Trans-dorm

Not sure how late it runs on holidays, but you may be able to catch a ride on Metrolink's Antelope Valley line to either the Newhall or Santa Clarita station. Both are within the city limits of Santa Clarita.

That was a detour for the Cardinal. Normally, the only trains that use the air line are the CONO, Illini, and Saluki. The Cardinal normally crosses over the Metra tracks near Kensington Park and enters Chicago on a line just west of and parallel to the Dan Ryan Expressway.

I will be traveling on the Maple Leaf soon from New York City to Toronto. What is the baggage policy on the train since it is both an Amtrak and a VIA Rail train? I am planning on bringing two bags with me, one is small enough to be used as a carry-on on the Canadian. The other is slightly...

One more question: How strict is VIA with the carry-on size policy? Reason: I have a suitcase at my home that is right at 9" deep, maybe a centimeter or two over.

I have a few questions regarding red cap service at NYP for an upcoming trip. I will be arriving at Penn Station on the Cardinal on January 4 and departing on the Maple Leaf on January 6. 1. Where are the red caps located in Penn Station? 2. Can you use the service if you are not in the...

How early were you able to board with the red caps?

Thanks for all the information. It is greatly appreciated.

#1: It is generally safe to leave your things in your room. Just remember to stow it in your bag and close the curtain and door. #2: Yes, the Parlor cars should still be running. #4: The TV on the lower level of the Pacific Parlor car is just for movies. #5: The windows do not open. #6: Room...

Thanks for the information.

I will be traveling on the Canadian (westbound) in just a few weeks and have a few questions. 1) Is there a place inside Toronto's Union Station to store my bags for the day? 2) I have heard that the redcaps will place your bag in your room on the Canadian before you board. Is this true and...
