Yeah, I'm not expecting to find a lower one, but I am hoping to! :)

And the money is back on my credit card. I'm now hunting for the next lowest Sunset Limited bucket! ;)

I logged into my account. Via "My Trips" I selected "Details" from my "Upcoming Trips" list. In that window I chose the button "Modify Trip". There I selected the same date as the original trip, chose the same options and refund to original form of payment. Just got another room number.

2x, and as I don't have a US/Canadian phone number, my account is still pending...

I just modified two of my reservations on the Amtrak website (app wouldn't go through) for a lower fare, refund to my credit card. Anyways: LAX-NOL roomette multiple dates October 2024 - January 2025 $719.

Thanks for the trip report, and the pictures! Just a tiny correction, you first train wasn't a former Dutch Wadloper, but a former German BR614 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_614?wprov=sfla1. Please, make more trips and trip reports! 😃

For breakfast I've been to Homegirl a couple of times, a block or so north of Philippe, opposite side of the street. They say they help former gang people. https://homeboyindustries.org/social-enterprises/cafe/ I find Alameda Street from Union Station to Cesar Estrada/Chavez Avenue a bit...

The image is a cut out from a printscreen from an 'eTicket and receipt' email from Amtrak received on my mobile on gmail in dark modus. So directly from Amtrak. Just mend to send an update for your great list, thanks for keeping it up to date!

Here's part of the revised trip details.

Yeah, I know. I like traveling in the USA and Canada and it became more expensive in the last few years. I hope the people working the trains had an likewise increase in income. But this one I thought was missing from Niemi24s "bucket list", so this post is also a bit of a heads up. Ow, and...

Here we are in Metra towards Joliet. I guess we put the suitcases on the racks near the stairwell you see between my walking wife and our sitting children. My stepson making good use of our luggage in the Blue Line.

I've done Metra to/from O'Hare Transfer a couple of times when the timing was right. The cars are a bit cramped, but we've done it with our family of five with bagage before. But CTA has far more trains running between the airport and the city center. Both are easy to do with a bit of luggage.

Last summer I rode in the local train from Zittau to Görlitz, Germany. The train crosses the border with Poland several times. Before Poland moved a bit to the West after the second WW it was just an in intra-Germany line. My trip report is here on AU. It's gone now, but in the nineties I took...

Even I, from the Netherlands with just a couple of sleeper trips per year and not enough TQPs, remain Select.

In CAD it would have been 2,205. And off course the 30% temporary reduction thully mentioned helps a bit.

I just booked a discounted cabine for one Toronto-Vancouver in October for 7,016 points and CAD 286.65 taxes. It took the lady about 45 minutes including involvement if the back-office to complete the booking, because of redeeming one of the four Premier-coupons. She explained the introduction...

I offer a roundtrip: - Grand Central Terminal - Bridgeport by train; - Ferry to Port Jefferson; - Train back to Jamaica. You have to walk a bit, so dry wetter would be nice. I did that once to get from Manhattan to JFK the time-killing-way and I'd do it again.

Train 14 Los Angeles-Seattle of October 11th had a trespasser incident nearing Ventura. A replacement engineer took us into Ventura and left again to pick up another train. We wait for another engineer who is supposed to arrive at about 1530 hrs. Conductor stated another train had an incident...

Oh, and because it kind of fits with the title of this thread: today on train 14 out of Los Angeles is the second time I'm in a/the touchy/feely controls car (32034):
