I've always wondered why they don't do this in Chicago, especially for the LSL. "Board here for South Bend through Cleveland" "Erie through Syracuse" maybe with the intermediate stations also listed, on a sandwich board with slots or pegs so the station names can be moved around to adjust for...

You haven't heard of edible dinnerware? http://www.brighthub.com/environment/green-living/articles/121952.aspx http://www.funfindsformom.com/blog/paper-plates-made-out-of-corn-and-potatoes http://potatoplates.com/

And if we didn't have a forum, there wouldn't be nearly as much for Google to find. <_<

Don't underestimate the involvement of Ft. Wayne. There's a great deal of local interest in rail service to Chicago with greater convenience and frequency than the CL/LSL can provide via WTI. CHI-FWA by itself is not realistic; a larger market on the eastern end of the route is needed, and with...

You might use the HSR network in Spain as a point of comparison for what's possible in a reasonably short time given a significant level of investment. They've built 1900 miles of high speed track in the last 20 years, most of it in the last 10, with more under construction. Scale as needed...

I'm used to seeing just a blank paper with the handwritten station code, as in this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chuckandaliceriecks/4796801301/ The amount and type of fraud probably varies by route, but it has crossed my mind that it would sometimes be possible, for example, to board...

Officially known as "Colors in Motion" but often referred to as "wavy gravy."

Sounds fine in theory, but implementation could be difficult. Pick any LD train and show us from the schedule how this would work when the train is (a) on time, and (b) late.

Based on the grass and trees, I'd say it's more of an outside joke.

Good thing "Annoyed" gave up after an hour and took the bus. Six years is a long time to wait for a train. The actual departure for 55 that day was 8:42. I don't see four trains departing NYP for WAS between 6:45 and 7:45 that day, only three: 137 at 6:48 (0:23 late), 2171 at 7:07, and 175...

Print the PDF. :)

Book a one-zone award to Toledo. Then buy a paid ticket for the rest of the trip. Using multi-city search, enter Toledo to Dearborn as segment one (which will give you the bus) and Dearborn to Detroit as segment two (on the Wolverine). This will cost $6 more than the bus by itself, but you...

No, but Nederlandse Spoorwegen does. :)

Bring your own microwave. :ph34r:

A good fare from Toledo or Cincinnati or Atlanta to FBG would be just as useful, as a 2-zone redemption would cover everything up to one of those stations.

There are also car rental locations reasonably close to the Dearborn and Ann Arbor stations, but as BCL notes, hours are limited. It would be easy enough if you were on train 350 rather than 352. If you're headed to Boston next you can return the car, catch the Thruway bus from ARB/DER/DET to...

Earlier this year I did Chiang Mai to Bangkok in the "Japanese type" sleeper shown here. It reminded me of a 4-couchette on City Night Line, but with curtains and without the corridor door. The ride was mitigated slightly by some rough sections of track, but otherwise quite comfy.

Yeah, I can see from the map that it's a bit farther than I-10. It starts out going the "long" way out of New Orleans (on the Long bridge, that is). Speaking of which, Google Street View has a great picture of the SL on the north approach to the bridge. :)

I think Elkhart is correct, but that would be CL (and LSL) rather than CZ.
