Ah…indeed missing that caveat! Makes sense…

We actually looked at that. I’ve heard Amtrak can take down the partitions between the bedrooms or that you can book a private car they tack onto the Amtrak train but I would think I couldn’t afford such a thing. What I saw was 5 to 10k a day? of course with enough people such things can...

How valid is the “Only one room left” etc. message. I’ve seen it and then booked two rooms anyway so I think it’s marketing…but is it?

Yes I think I can say they are all train enthusiasts since they haven’t ridden it yet😀. That might change after the experience! As I understand it, Flex dining is only on the Texas Eagle…once we combine in San Antonio it’s Sunset Limited full service? Someone please correct me if I am...

I live in Monterey, Ca…so the Coast Starlight is my “home“ train, but grew up in East Texas. My parents are near Longview, Tx, my Sister and BIL in New Orleans, my brother and SIL in Dallas, and my Aunt and uncle in Houston. So we are trying to collect the gang and assorted kids to take a...

Well having flown Emirates a few times that is indeed one plane I’d take over a train! But if you thought bedrooms were high bucket 😮

Holy mcsnorkle…I’ll not be doing this anytime soon. At this stage in me life, time to get onto coach…can’t make those prices make any sense

Hah me too…especially when you have something in your hands from the cafe car. The tracks seem to know this and act up accordingly

Yes that is the fun of it. For instance…what would it be like to be on train #692 on your way to Churchill at this time of year. I had to google it! I can only imagine,but some people are on there right now and I’d love to hear what they are seeing and doing…

Oh a sopappilla with some butter and honey is a glorious thing. I’m not a foodie, but it seems like a more savory beignet like you get in New Orleans, either one …are both delicious. I need one now!

and no Empire Builders at all x🙁

Now I’ve become obsessed with this thing. Is there any historical reason for the numberings of the trains? I see all the western trains seem to meeting up at 2.00 am pacific…I assume that is by design. Why that time? it’s fascinating to me at least!

Thank you…most interesting

Well that is a sad story. I will admit am one of those who would have said “bonus…more train time” because I don’t ride the train expecting to get anywhere on time, just approximately…hence my post above. But there are clearly those that do. This is a case in point.

What is a MOW?

its a great page and (I dont know those rules) but should be stickied to the top. Good job sir!

Oh I love both those restaurants and probably ate something he made. Hope the kiddo is surviving the Covid, and I can’t wait to hit up some City restaurants again.

Just a wonderment…what does happen when your stuck on a train….I mean a long distance train that isn’t just late, but 8 or more hours late…I’ve never had the experience thankfully but it’s happening according to the big map… 1. Does OBS communicate it? I’ve always thought this was hit or miss...

Thanks for this…I didn’t know it was there. I love the old route maps and the juckins.net schedules and printing them out in full colors, then taking a pencil or pen and crossing out the stops In between…as well as planning Sunrise and Sunset and where we are gonna be for breakfast lunch and...

Well Dairy Queen put me through college working there at my local franchise in the summers and I could use some steak fingers and white gravy right now!
