    New flex meal menu (10/06/21)

    Really, at some point if you have allergies this is on you to take care of yourself. I love most foods, I fortunately don't have food allergies, thank heavens. BUT - if I did - I certainly wouldn't depend on Amtrak, United, Delta, American, or anyone else to assure me the food being served...

    Heartland Flyer Versus Car Carrier

    What is WRONG with people these days?? And I see children there too! Total idiots, but hey, if they get hurt, it's the train's fault.....riiiiight.

    New flex meal menu (10/06/21)

    Not trying to be unkind but that's rather ridiculous. How allergic to everything are you? When (or if) you go out to a restaurant to eat, do you ask to see ingredients for everything on the menu you're interested in?

    Amtrak System Sampler Reviews and Impressions - Fall 2021

    20th century - am enjoying your review and impressions! But.....so many trains, one after the other; I wish I was you! But what is all this? Business trips? Random pleasure routings? Just curious.

    Baggage Racks

    Yeah, I have to agree, never had any issues with bags on Amtrak. And you should always keep valuables with you. Funny - when I was a baggage agent at a major airline, we always had 'bag swaps' where people took similar looking bags that weren't theirs. Never have seen that on Amtrak......

    Most interesting encounter(s) on a train

    Dakota, we had almost exactly the same encounter - wonder if it was the same guy?? But anyway, yea, they make BIG bucks but they work like 3months on, 1month off, or something like that, I don't remember exactly. Young guy (kid, really) but he was banking it all for the future. Good...

    Article about a senior's LD trips in coach during the pandemic

    Oh, man, THAT sounds fun. It's expensive, though, as I recall. More than a 10-day Caribbean cruise. But we've got family in Mississippi, we'd love to do one of those riverboats.

    Article about a senior's LD trips in coach during the pandemic

    Wow......that's really moving, and inspiring. So many people would have said, ''poor me, sitting around feeling sorry for themselves until they passed. She basically said, ''hell no, I'm going to do something about it. Good for her!

    Catching the train in Seattle

    Well, no spankings in the 'woodshed' here; just to give you a different angle, there are others besides the Verizons, Sprints, TMobiles, etc, of this world. There's TingMobile, USA Cellular, Consumer Cellular, just to name a few. I use my smartphone quite a bit, my monthly bill varies...

    Route Timetable PDFs returning? (2021-2022)

    What a bunch of clowns, upper Amtrak management; hello, Board - are you listening?? Do you give a rats ***? I mean, how bloody hard can this be, having a website that actually functions. They have a bunch of nitwits attending to this; sometimes the site works, sometimes it doesn't. And...

    Positive comments about Amtrak?

    See, I have to totally disagree with this. I regard the LD train journey as the enjoyable part. I don't care if it's late, as I don't think you can reasonably expect reliable timekeeping until Amtrak is not held hostage to the freight railroads. I think the exception to this would be the NE...

    Route Timetable PDFs returning? (2021-2022)

    I guess the infamous (miserable) Amtrak IT team has struck yet again, or maybe it's been gone a long time and didn't notice -? But, at any rate, I was looking online for the old familiar top-to-bottom PDF of the California Zephyr. I'm thinking of taking it again soon, but the PDF is gone -...

    You eat in your room? Why?

    Oh, yes....EVERYONE has a story; I have to say, me and my spouse have had some very interesting and entertaining table mates in the dining car. Always on Empire Builder; one guy, huge, about 6'9'' and 300+ lbs, all muscle. Very intimidating size, could barely fit at the table, but hugely...

    Empire Builder accident (9/25/21)

    Aw, man. Poor Amtrak; not what they needed. So sad to hear about this, especially thinking of the several times I've ridden the EB. A terrible thing to happen; I can't imagine experiencing the train coming off the rails at 79mph; must have been terrifying. But, like aircraft accidents...

    Amtrak website now requires 'multi-factor authentication' for 'some' members - 'why me?'

    I signed in today and got the immediate response that my password must be changed; nothing about 2Fa but when I changed it, I got the notice about the verification code. I did it, and it was fine. Many sites use this now, my credit union account uses 2Fa, you don't have a choice. I...
