How about The Anderson - Gardner Stubby.? A lot of this started during the reign of the Emperor Richard.

1 sleeper - cafe - 2 coaches. Apparently we will be able to eat in the cafe car.

I'm getting on the Eagle this morning. I'll report the consist.

Why would you want to visit Emeryville?

Downstairs roomette by the family bedroom, her attitude, belligerent and "I'm in charge here", and the comment later by the attendant. It WAS a power trip!

Still get to enjoy (shudder) 6 hour bus ride across Texas without lunch or the comfort and privacy of the sleeper space.

(At San Antonio) what does one do between 4.50 am and 7.00 am? I did the transfer from the WB SL to the Eaglet to get up to Austin (12:05 AM to 7 AM) one time, and it was my misfortune that the SL was on time into San Antonio. It's a problem. The waiting room is unpleasant, a musty smell from...

Just noticed something odd: the Sunset Limited arrived in San Antonio at 9:15 AM, 4 hours and 21 minutes late. According to Track Your Train, Train 22 departed at 7 AM, but has an estimated arrival at San Marcos at 12:32. According to asm.transit.docs, Train 22 departed San Antonio at 10:20 and...

On the Sunset Limited WB around Beaumont last year, an extra-board Conductor told me that if I wanted to take off the mask I had to have my door closed AND the curtain closed. Either one would be an acceptable barrier. Both is a power trip. The car attendant told me that they absolutely hated it...

Sort of related. On my upcoming trip, I'm ticketed Sacramento to Chicago, but not desiring to spend two days in Chicago, I'm staying in Aurora, cheaper and safer. My plan is to get off at Naperville and backtrack by Metra to Aurora. Then I will come in on Metra on my next train day. Am I going...

Can't figure out where else to put this. Do they serve dinner upon leaving Chicago on the Cardinal?

The museum is terrific. Worth an overnight there. I'm booked from Seattle to Sacramento on the CS in October, overnight there, at a hotel out one of the light rail lines (Yeah!) and plan to visit the museum again. The last time I was there it poured rain all day, so I didn't see the outside...

I think that cancelling the two-night trip trains was sorta kinda wise, although they could've should've done a better job of explaining why, and given cancelled passengers more assistance in working out alternative travel. Why do I say this? For the single-nighter trains, getting the passengers...

According to the news reports, the Southwest Chief, California Zephyr, and Empire Builder will be cancelled in both directions starting today to avoid stranding along the routes should the strike happen. I don't find a notice of this on the Amtrak site.

I abhor riding buses. After my Seattle stopover, I was booked on the Coast Starlight to LA, and was booked in a bedroom for the 61+ hour 3-nighter from Los Angeles to Chicago, but due to the recent repetitive delays on the Sunset Texas Eagle Limited have truncated my trip, and will now go only...

Today's champion late train is the Southwest Chief heading for Chicago, over 15 hours late, presently between La Junta and Lamar, Colorado. The Eagles are flying better today, although a bit late.

Much the same for me with the Texas Eaglette (do like that name!). Living near Austin, Texas, it's the TE and SL, or nothing, both horrendous at timekeeping. At least it's back to real food on the SL.

The southbound 21 Eaglette is 4 hours 22 minutes late at Mineola today, and the northbound 22 is an hour and a half late at McGregor, with the worst yet to come. Seems like the line from Dallas to Little Rock is where the big mess is. Thanks for the Twitter tip. I'll try it. I'm not on social...

I see that the Eaglette is horrendously late in both directions today. Southbound Train 21 is 4 hours 25 minutes late, now heading toward Marshall. So much slop in the schedule that if there are no more delays (don't count on that!), 21 will still arrive 17 minutes early at San Antonio...

Happy to see a fellow tin-can sailor. My first ship was USS Mitscher DDG-35, from 1970-72, going on to the USS Joseph Strauss DDG-16, 1973-1975, then USS Richard L. Page FFG-5, 1978-1981, split tour to USS John King DDG-3, 1981-2, all as a Fire Controlman (FTM (now FC). Broke the mold then, as I...
