I think your Dad was correct. Lots of things are cyclical. The stocks Ive owned, relationships and Amtrak's dining. Things go up and down. Current food service I think is at the bottom and sooner or later is due for a bounce up to better dining :)

Good report. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting. Its a great ride!

Ive had a few issues over many years as have most travelers, mostly too cold for me and have never had great luck with thermostat. I think we all would like the climate control and other things to be improved. Without money how does Amtrak accomplish this task? No help from Congress.

They need to change that. Might be a real liability issue if someone gets sick and it gets legal.

Did you discuss the open door no mask situation with your attendant? Or anyone?

Thanks for the adventure! I enjoyed it.

Many places on the EB and the CZ illuminated by a full moon are great and a clear sky at night on either train with all the stars out is pretty scenic if you look up at them. I also enjoy all the small towns that are lit up at night that the train passes thru. I stay up late on train trips to...

Look forward to riding the train again instead of flying. I only ride in sleepers but not sold on your simple statement of "much safer". Im not saying you are wrong. Is there some data you can point us to? Ive flown cross country twice this summer. June and end of August. Terminals in major...

My experience over the years is prices stay high if you are wanting to book a long ways out. Give it a several months and keep checking.

From years of experience the way I made my business successful was to treat all my existing customers exceptionally well. I only wanted a fair share of the market dollars for my company. Superior service was given. I had no need to do expensive advertising to the general public as they provided...

In casual conversation I always ask members of the crew where they are based. Is it their home, family, what life is like on the road, etc. Im genuinely curious and it helps the trip go smoother.

It says Under Construction at my end.

Thanks, good information to have.

Again, "most encounters" it is as simple as.... True but not all encounters are simple. The last two times in the Sea station many people were a bit unnerved as homesless people kept walking up and down the seating areas. They werent asking for anything just surveying folks. Perhaps if there...
