I often wear RR themed T-shirts and occasionally a ball cap when on the train. I don't outwardly display my scanner.

Noticed (on the La Plata cam) #3 was minus a sleeper this evening. Only the transdorm and a one regular sleeper. I believe that removing a sleeper at the beginning of September was mentioned a while back.

Probably takes the website a while to "catch up"!

Uber or Lyft, I suppose.

"On October 5, 1995, just after 1:00 a.m., Amtrak’s Sunset Limited train derailed near Tonopah, Arizona, west of Phoenix, killing one train employee and injuring over 100 passengers. "Years after the tragedy, True Crime Arizona interviewed a passenger who had cared for a young boy on the train...

Perhaps "MarkinAustin" is thinking of the TE between Chicago and San Antonio.

Right up front in the Travelers drop-down.

Palm Springs (PSN, not PSP) is occasionally subject to closure due to drifting sand fouling the tracks.

With this discussion regarding outlets on train I thought I would check the voltage. On my recent trip on the Pacific Surfliner I brought along my outlet tester. Not surprisingly, the outlet was wired correctly and the voltage read 120, sometimes dropping to 119. More stable than my utility...

As long as you are booked in the 421 sleeper (422 if east bound) you will not have to move. I've done several trips LA to Temple, TX and return on the Eagle (a few years ago) and always stayed put in my sleeper.

Are they ones that are occasionally seen on the Pacific Surfliner?

Recalling those stories from the past is why I proactively changed our car from 31 to 30. Our reservation is in mid to late September and was made in February. I didn't want a surprise like that a week out from our trip!

That would have been a Imperial Western Beer Company issue, not LAUS. Doesn't matter now as it closed, as mentioned above, as well as Homebound Brew which also closed.

"The Chief gains a full coach on Aug. 1 but loses a second sleeper in early September. The L.A.-Chicago train has struggled all year with one full coach and a coach-baggage. Unfortunately, the coach is coming off the Seattle section of the Empire Builder during the height of the summer tourism...

Its been more than four years (retirement) since I've been on Metrolink, hasn't that been addressed with the current refresh/overhaul project of their cars?

Same experience I had. Did lots of "cleaning" (history, cookies, etc) to get it to work correctly. Just checked this AM and it seems ok on Chrome. Off topic: Got an email that AGR has reinstated that multi-factor authentication has been (re-) enabled.

That has been the norm lately (since running with only one sleepr and a transdorm).

Saw that on the Ft Madison and La Plata cams.

Just got it too. I've seen this before. "zh.amtrak" That was with Edge, Chrome came up just fine.
