    Self-defense (on train)?

    You know what I meant. Newly renovated. That work for you? "Pretty much" harmless can still be problematic.

    Self-defense (on train)?

    Correct. Especially walking around big cities. However, Ive been to the new Seattle station a couple of times with some shady looking homeless folks and not a sign of security anywhere. And the incident outside the EMY station a few years ago also comes to mind. All in all I think the stations...

    Without additional funding, how can Amtrak improve the LD trains?

    Would love to see a better OBS culture. Transition out the bad is a tough road but a good idea. With smart management it can be done.

    Will full service dining ever return to the Western trains?

    4 1/2 hours. CTL to SLC is the best example. West Palm Beach to CTL also nothing but thats a 2 hr 600 mile type flight. I was notified in advance. Last leg was SLC to JAC only a 40 minute flight so never anything on that leg.

    Will full service dining ever return to the Western trains?

    Sorry, I thought you were referring to US airline companies over the last 3-4 months not a few years ago. There were no meals served on Delta or American on my last flights in June in first class. A snack yes.

    Will full service dining ever return to the Western trains?

    Not sure why you are surprised given the magnitude and the financial crisis of this pandemic. Think next September, maybe.

    My trip on the Capitol Limited

    I havent traveled since last fall (EB,CL, SM). Do you have a latest trip you took along similar route for food review to better explain yuck status ? Tks.

    Who travels in the Sleeper Cars?

    I travel from a west coast city each year back to my home in Florida. ( I will fly home this year) I fly to my summer destination and take the train back with 1-2 nights in Chicago and Washington, DC. I choose a bedroom but have been in Viewliner roomette which is fine. I simply enjoy the slow...

    How reliable is Air Conditioning in Bedroom cars

    I have carried a pizza box and other recommendations of yours for a long time. I feel like a hardware store when i board but it has served me well. Thanks for tips over the years.

    Will full service dining ever return to the Western trains?

    There's a lot of pessimism on food service but I'm optimistic it has no where to go but up. Lots of things going on in our country that need addressing but hopefully when some of the dust settles improvements can be made.

    Silver Service changes?

    Florence is the crew change I believe for Auto Train. Dont know if its the same for Meteor and Palmetto.

    Southwest Chief LAX-CHI 7/12-14/202

    Ive traveled in bedrooms cross country every year during late summer on Superliners for over 30 years. Ive not had any incident of a/c failure so to say air conditioning in Superliners rarely works is not accurate for me at least. I have however had a couple of failures riding the Star/Meteor in...

    Washington DC Union Station

    I ate at Johnny Rockets in September for lunch before trip back to Florida awaiting the Silver Star. There were a few crazies in the food court that got my attention and generally there were less people than previous fall trips. Had I been waiting on the Meteor Id have eaten upstairs for an...

    Parallel vs perpendicular sleeper berths?

    I too prefer perpendicular. I have done both ways roomette and bedroom. First I much prefer a bedroom accommodation. I have always liked rocking chairs and the head to toe movement over the roomette rocking side to side. In the daytime I like laying on the couch looking out the window and enjoy...

    Eastern Sleeping Car Passengers Pre-Order Meals

    I think three days to pre-order is reasonable. If you dont pre-order or book last minute i doubt you will go hungry.

    about the black bear at SPUD

    Carry bear spray. It really works. Watch the wind direction though:)
