@AmtrakBlue ... your guy on the platform blowing the whistle appears at 1:50, LOL!

I don't pay to use Twitter; I'm subjected to advertising. I only follow Amtrak, Amtrak Alerts, Amtrak OIG, Pacific Surfliner, Metrolink, National Weather Service so that reduces what I see. I dont like, comment or otherwise respond to any Tweet. If pay-to-play on Twitter happens (as has been...

Just read on FB that Amtrak Alerts are back on X/Twitter. I checked yes, they are back! EDIT: Well maybe not. Still only seeing two alerts that were there earlier.

Just read on FB that Amtrak Alerts are back on X/Twitter. Nevermind, still only seeing the two alerts when I first posted this.

Yes, appeared to be very well attended on Saturday. Looking at the date/time data on my photos, we got in line about 1100 AM (near the piano and main waiting area) and first equpment photo was taken at 1145. We passed the 60 minute wait sign at 1130. So, not too bad for us.

Saturday 9 September I traveled on the Pacific Surfliner #770 and #777 to/from LA Union Station for the Train Festival Here are some images from the well-attended 2-day event. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAV25C Greeted and conversed with Amtrak's Lamar "#ComeRideWithMe" Smith who was also there for...

Yea, the last one I see is on the 11th regarding Pacific Surfliner Coast Starlight Schedule Changes for September 16-17. With a two day-gap in posts, I now see a couple of Pacific Surfliner alerts posted in the past hour. 0930 on Sep 13. I have a Twitter/X account.

Not "automatic" but my wife sets up a scheduled payment each month for each of our cards on the FNBO website. She specifies amount and date of payment and provides our checking account number. I don't know if that is the same as an ACH transfer or not. This method has been working well since...

Which is interesting because the Pacific Surfliner (for some trains) recently added the Metrolink stops of Burbank-Downtown (BBK) and Northridge (NRG) on the Ventura County Line. The "Rail 2 Rail" program is still in place.

The "Guide to Benefits" that came with my "Preferred" (paid) card and other paperwork states "World Mastercard Cardholder Benefits". It lists the same benefits you mention. Perhaps only the AGR awards (3 points Amtrak; 2 points dining, travel, rideshare; 1 point everything else; 20% rebate on...

"World" and "Preferred" are the same thing...the fee card. The original cards sent out, including mine says Preferred. "World" is the MasterCard name.

Keep checking availability to see if something opens up, even after you board the train. The other, not guaranteed, is to look into Amtrak's "Bid Up" program. https://www.amtrak.com/bidup

Chat on the San Juan Capistrano VR camera mentioned rocks on the tracks between Capistrano and San Clemente. Metrolink trains also affected. I wouldn't call that a "false alarm". It's being on the safe side and inspecting the tracks (that would be Metrolink's doing).

Only call the number on the back of the card. I think there were some website issues. Yesterday, I tried logging a couple of times on via my desktop computer and the log on failed both times. Used the phone app and logged on sucessfully. This had nothing to do with suspicious activity, I was...

Just recalled two museums I visited while in Southern Maryland last summer (2022): Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum in Calvert County, MD https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA3r2m La Plata Train Station Museum in Charles County, MD (closed the day I was there) https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjA3qNk

Yes, car/room numbers are assigned when you book. You can always call later if you see a lower fare and ask for a refund of the difference.

Generally, you can not choose what side of a train you are on. The cars may be oriented in either direction so a particular roomette may be on the west or east side of the train. There is no way of knowing until that particular train is made ready for departure (Seattle for a southbound Coast...

Yes, the LA River does do that with a good rain storm. As for the Metrolink Cars, they were sent back to Milwaukee (Bombardier) to be refurbished and now returning to LA. This has been going on for a couple of years now.

Amtrak has announced "Service Adjustments" ahead of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hilary for the Pacific Surfliner this weekend. I have also seen mention (on Facebook) of similiar advisories for the Sunset Limited/Texas Eagle. Lets hope there is no ground movement down by San Clemente as a result of...
