However, once the lounge reaches capacity per fire marshal mandate, even a sleeping car passenger may be denied access in LA. It happened to us.

Hello, Jack, Even on those holidays, the dispatchers and maintenance crews are on duty. They are not Amtrak but rather private railroad employees, who won't go to work if a strike is called.

I don't bank with BoA, and I've always been able to review my statement, and pay my account balances through my checking account at my credit union.

We are in a bedroom. We have two bags which meet airline overhead dimensions (meaning they aren't real big) and two backpacks which are smaller "personal item" size. Really would prefer the two larger bags be transfered in CHI rather than move them ourselves from the Eagle to the LSL when we...

Regarding the inability to check bags on the Lake Shore Limited beyond Albany (for Boston passengers), should I consider checking to Albany and retrieving those bags there for that final leg? Is there time to get them and return to the room? We hate having bags (other than our overnight...

My next trip AUS to BOS departs on 9/19. (We hope.) The last time, did Congress act before the stoppage? If not, how long was service disrupted?

The SAS crew needs an hour to detach the 422 cars from #2, connect them to 22, reestablish the electricity, and do a brake test. Passengers are advised that if 2/422 doesn't arrive by 6:00 a.m., connection will be by bus. On a recent trip, we arrived at 6:10 a.m., but we got lucky and we...

So if we "assume" that the anonymous information mentioned in post #1 is no longer correct, then why did BoA stop issueing cards? Was that a power play by the bank to get more favorable terms? Sounds like hostage taking. I still believe a new bank is on the way.

Your question didn't include the city of origin, so the consist is different if leaving from LA versus leaving from New Orleans.

Please do not take this comment personally, but many folks posting make comments about Flex meals being microwaved. This is not accurate. The meals are heated in convection ovens. Those foil covers would set a microwave oven on fire! We forum members should always be doing our best to give...

If the relationship is to continue, why did they cut off new spplications? I suspect that BoA management hasn't advised their call center staff of the changes.

Hey, we made it the morning of the 16th! (Barely) Train all the way to Austin!

That makes more sense. Yep, bus ride in order.

Boarding time in AUS is normally 9:30 a.m., so that doesn't sound significantly late to me. Yep, 2.5 hours scheduled SAS to AUS. Drive it in an hour.

Car attendant Steve said he thought the patient survived.

On a positive note, the Sunset/Eagle which departed LAX on 8/14 (30 minutes late due to the gentleman I mentioned above) reached SAS only 1 hr 20 minutes late, thanks to an additional delay due to a passenger medical emergency in Alpine. This was just in time for the 422 cars to be attached to...

And we left 30 minutes late, due to the authorities having to remove an unhappy passenger at LAX. Timing is slipping.

That Portland delay is requiring passengers who were planning to connect with 2/422 at LAX to do so in Ontario. In the meantime 2/422 was delayed 30 minutes in departing duke to a sleeper passenger being unhappy with his room and becoming belligerent. The authorities had to be called. (He saw...

Today is Aug 14, and the 2/422 is ready and waiting. We got to board more than an hour early. Crossing my fingers on the toilets and schedule, as we go to Austin.

Yes, the fact that no one can apply to BoA for an AGR card is an obvious indication that the end is near for that relationship.
