    Amtrak Dining and Cafe Service discussion 2024 H1

    Bear in mind that any TV-style meal can be goofed up if not properly prepared - especially the pasta portion, as depicted above.

    California Zephyr discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024 H1

    Don't know about breakfast, but Arrow tells me the CZ's departure time from EMY changes from 0910 to 0825 on 8 April and remains so for the foreseeable future. No change noticed in its 1400 departure time from CHI.

    Most scenic route from east to west

    Could this possibly explain it? https://www.google.com/search?q=river+to+atlantic+and+pacific&oq=river+to+atlantic+and+pacific&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTIzMjc2ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8f691851,vid:mN2flAvdQXU,st:0

    Most scenic route from east to west

    This shows what's available for the taking on the FRA Safety Map: Label and arrow are mine. The route prior to the Moffat Tunnel is very interesting, to me at least. Same goes for the predecessors of the present Cascade Tunnel on the route of the Empire Builder.

    Rail for Less: a fare checking site

    That's my experience too. I've a sneaky feeling Amtrak IT has found a way to thwart RailForLess instead of doing something useful.

    Most scenic route from east to west

    In addition to what joelkfla just said, I don't think there's really any way to tell if the bedrooms in your car will be on the north or south side of the train. FWIW, the north side is best for photography as that'll be the shady side with no sun glaring off the dirty windows. But as far as...

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    Been away a few weeks and have just discovered substantial fare increases on the SWC, TE, SL, CONO and AT. All others are $1 above what's shown on the chart in this thread: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 While the RailForLess...

    Long Distance Train Coach & Sleeper Fares (Buckets)

    Been away a few weeks and have just discovered substantial fare increases on the SWC, TE, SL, CONO and AT. All others are $1 above what's shown on the chart as noted in the previous post. While the RailForLess website . . .https://railforless.us/ . . . should ease the task of finding new...

    Can see where menu refreshing is important for those who may stop riding only to do their laundry, but for others like myself it's of no concern whatsoever.

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    The fares you show reflect the $1 across the board increase for Coach and all Sleepers fares of a month or so ago and will not be shown on the chart until the next substantial fare increase and chart revision. Because of this all the fares now shown on the chart are $1 less than actual.

    Amtrak Thruway Bus discussion

    Well, think of all the millions of people in the US who can't get a Thruway bus link even if they do make it part of a train/bus trip.

    Cities without Amtrak service

    By Amtrak service are you excluding Thruway bus connections?

    Amtrak Route Map

    You can get most anywhere by walking, hitchhiking or driving. The idea behind the map was to show the places you can now get to or from (or could have gotten to or from in the past) by booking with Amtrak.

    Thanks for the idea and kind words, but think I'll find something else to tinker with.

    Amtrak Route Map

    Looked at the first 18 system timetables looking for system maps with bus routes with no luck. Then the 19th finally had them as kinda shown below: This is defuzzified as much I could get it. And this is getting to be a real chore. Anybody wanting to glean the missing bus links from this and...
