We are underway! The conductor, or whoever makes the announcements, said they had to switch out three of the seven cars for mechanical issues.

Waiting to board in Chicago—there is a delay with no estimated time according to what they are telling Metropolitan Lounge staff, due to an equipment issue.

Thank you thank you thank you

It’s still heading toward California, not away from it?

This is amazing news!

I’m just getting so worried about CZ westbound on Tuesday. I know we just have no way to know when this is going to be resolved, right?

Hey! They’re there. Thanks for this.

Hi guys—when do you get the coupons after opening a new AGR credit card? I got the card in the mail about two weeks ago. Thanks!!

Welcome from your neighbor to the north!

Yeah I decided this would be a bad idea anyway. 99 times out of 100 she would be fine, but what if I missed the train and she was on a train to Chicago alone? Not great.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the thoughtful responses. Another random question—they wouldn’t let a minor (age 12) ride by herself for just one stop, right? Just thinking about saving my ex-husband a little driving time at 5 am, but it probably isn’t worth the hassle.

Coming home on SWC, connecting to Wolverine, the guaranteed connection we are booked on has a 3 hour layover. There is a train with a 1 hour 10 minute layover. If SWC is on time, what is the best way to change to the earlier train at the last minute? On the app? What if it was really tight and...

Just double checking—for our August trip, we are in 2730 on EB, 1130 on CS, and 430 on SWC. These are all base sleepers?

Oh I didn't notice that a bus was even offered as a connection! It seems like I get different options each time I do a search-- it differs whether it is website or app, and each day looks different too. You can meet us at Disneyland. ;) My twelve year old and I have a goal of all the LD...

Resurrecting this old thread. I want to do Wolverine (ROY to CHI) to EB (PDX) to CS (LAX) to a little hop on Pacific Surfliner to Anaheim (yay Disneyland). The LAX to Anaheim part is a 59 minute connection. I can make it come up if I do multi-city. It's the last PS of the day. I guess my...

I second this one-- I loooove the prints and would love to have a patch to get and sew onto my backpack for each long distance train we complete.

Great to read! Very excited for our first LD trip on CZ next month. I’ve already booked us on southwest chief in August because I’m just so excited.

It is kind of crazy. Going WB the connections seem plausible, but going EB LAX-PDX-ROY both connections are only an hour.

I actually did this search yesterday (LAX to Royal Oak, MI), and it did give me this as an option— CS to EB to Wolverine Express. I was looking at early August.

Interesting! I guess we must have been in one of the Venture cars on the way home from Chicago to Royal Oak a few weeks ago, though I didn’t know the name of it. I just noticed that it was new and had the great outlet between the seats, with USB ports. That meant I didn’t have to use my usual...
