I was on the CL that departed Chicago on Thursday May 6th and can confirm that there was no SSL. The last I heard anything about it was when I rode in October and an employee said that it could come back in June. Obviously that's just a rumor and it was before the return to daily service was...

From what I heard they operated on the Michigan Line, although I don't know what the reason was.

Face shields are not acceptable as a face cover on Amtrak. I think they initially were when Amtrak first made the requirement, but that changed a while ago.

I saw it entering the Amtrak yard in Chicago around 4 PM yesterday. The last that I heard was that it was going to leave Chicago last night.

Why does the LSL take so much longer eastbound than westbound? It's just over a full hour difference. The eastbound LSL also takes an hour longer than the eastbound CL over the shared portion of the route from Chicago to Cleveland.

My thought process was that a standardized diner could be purchased for both the eastern and western trains as part of the Superliner replacement, allowing the Viewliner diners to be converted to lounges for the western trains. I don't necessarily think that's the best option; the possibility...

I wonder how feasible it would be to convert the Viewliner Diners into cafe/sightseeing cars. The shell is already suitable for the purpose, although changes to the food service area and seating would likely be needed. If the entire LD network becomes single level, that would allow for...

As has been mentioned, moving it 6 hours earlier would eliminate guaranteed connections, move the upstate New York stations to the middle of the night, and potentially require another consist. It could also result in overcrowded conditions at Chicago Union Station and even though it would be an...

Those aren't the only two entrances. There's also an entrance at the north end of the Metra platforms. Additionally, there is another entrance at the northwest corner of Michigan and Randolph which feeds into the same hallway as the other entrance at that intersection.

I think I remember reading somewhere on here a few years ago that Superliners could get from Albany to within Boston city limits, but wouldn't be able to get through Back Bay.

That timetable is inaccurate; checked baggage service is no longer offered on the Boston section of the LSL.

According to the Amtrak website, trains will return to full capacity on May 23rd.

Here's the way I interpreted it: Light blue with no existing route: new service Light blue with existing route: currently LD route with new corridor service to be added Yellow with existing route: already existing corridor routes with increased frequency by 2035

The problem with the Savannah connection is it likely wouldn't be same-day. The only way for a train to/from Atlanta to have a same-day connection with the current Silver Service schedules is with an overnight trip, which seems unlikely. For the same reason, this map would do virtually nothing...

For the most part, this map seems to have good coverage but not necessarily good connectivity. For example, Atlanta has five new corridor routes but no service to Florida or Chicago. Pueblo gains service to Denver, but still doesn't have a connection to the SWC. There are also three new separate...

Based on the linked article it sounds like it's not yet certain that the second round-trip will return at all. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/some-states-begin-restoring-amtrak-corridor-frequencies-others-continue-planning/

Although as I stated above, always blocking off the seats next to individual travelers is not practical once the pandemic is over, I do think Amtrak should prioritize passenger comfort over employee convenience. Assigning passengers to certain coaches depending on the destination makes sense...

It would be nice as a passenger, but it's not a practical option long-term.

The bus is running, but it's just not showing up when searching Sarasota-Richmond. The connection from the bus to 92 is shown on that day if searching other city pairs such as Sarasota-Orlando.

When daily service was re-uploaded into the booking system, all the connection possibilities weren't automatically added. The thruway bus to 92 connection is available if you search Sarasota to Orlando, as is 92 all the way to Richmond if you search from Tampa. You could try calling Amtrak to...
