Didn’t NJT cease service to Atlantic City?🤔

Too bad one of those is not at a seat in the waiting room!:rolleyes:

Somebody sees Las Vegas and one has a train station and one you need to take a bus. I’m going by train, which do I chose?🤔 Remember that many are not as knowledgeable about Amtrak as us. They only see a stop on the SWC for Las Vegas.

I have not gone down to the food court in a long time, but my own opinion is that it may also be due to less people waiting a long time. Since they have removed many of the seats in the waiting area, maybe many riders show up “at the last moment”. I know on my last trip thru WAS, I wanted to...

I once took a flight from ATL to Chattanooga. As I was on a connecting flight and on a FFM award, I flew First Class on that flight. I was the FOURTH passenger served my beverage. As the FA was getting my order, the pilot said “We have started our descent into Chattanooga“!:oops:

“No, that will be fine!”😁

Just using Las Vegas as an example: Someone wants to book a trip to Las Vegas, they know (or may have been told) they have to take the SWC. So they look at the schedule and see the SWC stops at Las Vegas! They may not notice it’s NM and not NV - after all, it‘s only 1 letter off!

That’s exactly what I’m saying. You should either say the full name or state. Amtrak doesn’t even serve Albany, NY. When you need to fly to Albany, and you ask the agent for Albany, are you being booked to Albany, NY, GA or OR. There was a commercial for some company (I forget which) that said...

New York State used to have the highest rates in the country, then we closed everything and opened up things on a staggered basis. Now we have one of the lowest rates in the country and decreasing, while other states “couldn’t wait to reopen” and their rates are very high and increasing. The...

But it doesn’t split at the Albany station! That is 2,500 miles away in Oregon. And you say that you’re going to Portland, do you mean the one in OR or ME? You say you’re going to Vancouver, do you mean WA or BC? You say you’re going to Newark, do you mean DE or NJ? A few years ago, you were...

Sometimes it feels like you do pay the gas station that much!😱 I remember when you paid $10 to fill your tank - and got money back. Now, it barely moves the needle!

Agreed! Only Viewliners have an in room commode in a roomette.

Well, in that case why say the LSL splits in Albany? The station is in Rensselaer and across the Hudson River from Albany! (Notice the name of the station is not Albany (that’s in Oregon) or Rensselaer (that’s in Indiana), it is Albany-Rensselaer. So why not say It splits in Rensselaer or...

Back in the old days, did the Silvers split at Kissimmee? They continued together and split at Auburndale, where one section went to Lakeland (only a few miles away) and Tampa, while the other part went to Miami. So I wouldn’t say they split at Kissimmee.

How about a bathroom in your house/RV/hotel that you share with your wife/kids/family/friends - would that be private?

Yes & no. Ft Edward is like 20-25 miles south of Whitehall. That makes as much sense as your statement that the Adirondack (and in fact EA also) split in Schenectady, not Albany. SDY is 15-20 west of ALB, much like FED is 20-25 south of Whitehall!

In the ad writer’s defense, it does say: Private rest room and shower in your car - yes there are restrooms and showers in your car on Superliners. All it says is complimentary meals - not traditional dining car service. I do agree that if I were a first time traveler, I would think it was a...

Actuall, the EA spilts just south of Whitehall. The branch is about 1 mile south of the station in Whitehall, so Ft Edward is the last NYS station it stops at.

The trouble with ATL is that to get from the airport to the train is a MAJOR undertaking! There are no direct bus or METRA lines between them, plus they’re on 2 separate sides of Atlanta. I once went to Atlanta for a convention by the airport. I took a train down, and rented a car near the...

Also, note that your head when sleeping is never “against the toilet”. Due to the reduced width, your feet are always at that end - that’s the way the mattress is shaped and how the SCA always makes the berth.
