    Track Your Train map: why was the old one removed?

    You can see that from the map above. It isn't realtime, but it's updated every handful of minutes. It's what has existed forever and it's still there.

    Ideas for Amtrak to raise revenue

    5 years in the late '90's, yes.

    Viewliners and Superliners ... what would you change?

    If by "Viewliner" you really mean "single level equipment, I completely agree. If you mean an actual "viewliner", you're sadly mistaken. We'll never see another one manufactured. There is a plan, it was linked to in the 4th post of the thread. They are executing to that plan. It's the exact...

    Track Your Train map: why was the old one removed?

    The map on their website does this, as it has since it's been released at least 5 years ago:

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    You provide your contact info for that person so that you get the documents?

    Switching from sleeper to coach mid-ride

    It's not like they're going to physically pick you up and put you on the bus to the wrong destination. Just get on the bus that's going where you're going and if someone questions it show them your ticket. IIRC, this mythical "linking" is nothing more than a note in the reservation that...

    Can't book on coast starlight?

    Comes right up for me in the app as well. It's likely either user error or something specific to the day she's traveling.

    Western Maryland Scenic Railroad

    She is in fact *that* Ocean View. Looks like that forward-center piece of glass was never replaced? It was blanked out when I rode it in.... 2011???

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2018 - 1Q 2024)

    Based on any actual professional training, or just a gut feeling? Even if you solve that, I think that the track centers are too close together to enable tilting for any actual high speed operation.

    What date? Works fine for me for a trip this week:

    FDA rules in cafe?

    I like it when people say "gas station food" like it's some sort of a bad thing. Clearly you people need to find yourselves in a Wawa/RoFo/Sheetz or your local equivalent. Some high quality food to be procured at those evil gas stations.

    Ideas for Amtrak to raise revenue

    Demonstrably false given the number of threads where people complain about the high cost of their tickets. They're probing to be quite effective at revenue management.

    Ideas for Amtrak to raise revenue

    Amtrak has a long history of doing this. This is over a decade ago:

    When is Sleeping Car returning to WAS-BOS overnight train?

    Meaningfulness is in the eye of the beholder. Chatter from certain people can be very meaningful if one is savvy enough to know who has the best tea.

    Heat and cold speed restrictions

    Potentially both. When metal gets hot, it expands. When a long skinny piece of metal (such as a wire or a rail) that expansion makes it longer. If a rail gets longer but doesn't have gaps to fill, then you get a sun kink, and the rails are no longer parallel. That's a bad thing when you try...

    Chase offer: 10% off Amtrak w/ $9.00 maximum, expires Aug 13

    Already debunked: FWIW, I have it on my Chase SW card, not not Marriott/Freedom/United/Sapphire Preferred. Clearly that means that WN and 2V are merging and the airline people will be in charge forever.

    Chase offer: 10% off Amtrak w/ $9.00 maximum, expires Aug 13

    That doesn’t mean it has anything to do with the Guest Rewards program.

    Longest flight experiences

    All of these flights are a drop in the bucket compared to spending nearly 65 DAYS aloft in a Cessna 172.

    Disability Discount

    Excerpted and emphasis added to aid in reading comprehension. The Viewliner I cars aren't new. And yes - it isn't a hard and fast rule that's publicized, but in the vast majority of the cases it's sold at the roomette rate. Any exceptions are likely anomalous due to the ancient inner workings...
