    What happened to the Canadian today (9/20/22)?

    i'm planning on doing a canadian trip but it is going to be almost 10k with 5 days say in Vancover and 8 days on train and 2 flys back to Chicago. That is a lot of $ for a train trip but i figure it was once in a life time.. maybe they get freight madness worse then us.

    Amtrak OBS shortage and salary

    I'm taking a trip to CHI to WAS and plan on tipping $20 each way no matter how the services is because that is a hard job. I don't know if i'm suppose to tip the people on the ACELA train going to New York City. I'm doing a trip to LAX next march and plan to do $20 each day.

    Bid Up questions and experiences

    Ya that make sense. I was going to do a single sections for my CHI to SAN next year because i figure i can just book a train when i get to LAX to SAN via the app. In case i'm running late via the Southwest Chef plus i want to see the LAX union station.
