I've had the great pleasure( NOT) of several bustitutions thru the years, the most frequent being on the Texas Eaglete Route. Each year when UP performs track maintainence between Longview and Ft Worth, passengers are bussed in I-20 between the 2 points with 1 Bus for Ft Worth and beyond...

I'd add Alpine and Sanderson ,Texas to this list!( Sunset Ltd Route)

The length of the stop in St Louis depends on the time keeping, so if you're early you will have time to visit inside the Station which involves going up an escalator or elevator and crossing the tracks into the Train/ Bus Station. Even if you havd time during the atop,there is nothing close...

Guess with the Cap going to Single Level Equipment helps with Roomettes, but with Fewer Bedrooms it'll no doubt be more Expensive!

Both serve Flex meals and have No Lounge, and have High Bucket Sleepers! Flying is a much better deal IMO. YMMV.

Was just in Napa, and it was sad to see the FPA4s were gone from the Wine Train.🥺 It looks like California regs will eventually force all classic petrolium powered vehicles to only be seen in museums, not out and about as a means of transportation.

I had this meal on the Sunset Ltd several times, it was Excellent!

Enterprise used to pick up Customers @ the Station but not sure they still do??? Uber or Lyft as suggested, is probably your best bet if shuttles can't be found. Most people pick up Rent Cars @ the Airport there since the choices are better. Google up Hotels on one of the Travel Sites to see...

I think you got a newbie or a lazy agent who didn't want to do the necessary steps to book your trip. And putting a Premium on Bedrooms makes no sense since they're all the same except for A as other posters said. My best guess is that the Bedrooms were priced in different buckets, with B...

Best to stock up with your own food Eddie,,I doubt if the Bus will stop for meals between Boston and Albany, and South Station isn't noted for its Cuisine!

The only LD Route I don't think is anything special is the Crescent, due to some of the best scenery occurring during the night, ( Carolinas)the Bad Schedule and terrible Time Keeping, and the lack of Traditional Dinning. An overlooked route is the Adirondack( currently suspended due to...

Hopefully the Fares will drop on the SWC, keep monitoring daily and if they do drop, call in and Modify your Reservation( Don't Cancel and Rebook, you'll usually pay a Higher Price ). If you get an Agent that says they can't do that, ask for a Supervisor or call back for another Agent.( if...

In an Alternate Universe perhaps?

Let's hope it's better than the Old SP Automat Cars were! Considering how well the North Carolina vending machines work, it shouldn't be that hard to find a similar vendor to operate this system.( and since it's California, healthier choices should be Job #1!!!)

The only real " change" on the Orphan Eaglete "sometime this Fall", are adding a Coach and 2nd Sleeper on 421/422 days,( 3 days a week) but not a Sightseer Lounge or Traditional Dinning between Chicago and San Antonio.

Did they allow you to eat Dinner and Breakfast without charge in the Diner, which is usually the policy when one is downgraded from Sleeper to Coach ??? And meanwhile Viewliners are sitting in the yards collecting dust as Ammanagememt fiddles while Rome burns!🤪

Thd Sunset Ltd has Traditional Dinning from NOL to LAX!

No Contest,Go with the Chief! Better arrival time, no hassle of getting from the El Paso Station to the Airport, No TSA etc. And the Chief has Traditional Dinning as opposed to Flex Meals on the Eaglete and a Sightseer Lounge!!

No automatic rebooking, everyone transferring will have to detrain, go into the Station,and have Amtrak staff rebook them on a Space available basis. If enough spaces aren't available on #48/#448, you will be given a Voucher for Food which will be Cashed @ the Ticket Counter, Money for a Cab...

Yes, I was just in Emeryville last week, it has really been gentrified and cleaned up around the Station to the Waterfront. Saw absolutely no homeless or " street people" in that area.
