Yes, on certain trains. For example, I don’t think you can bidup on the surfliner

Just heard from a service attendant on the empire builder that there is a menu refresh in the works ‘in about a month’. I inquired what he heard was in the works, and he mentioned some changes - but all seemed minor. At lunchtime he mentioned a different sand which option. At dinner, he...

I’m pretty sure it’s because DUS doesn’t like when the engines are at the ‘front’ of the train when they pull into the station because of exhaust complaints.

3. They probably just replaced the tray table with one of the ones from the back-stock. I doubt that one is the original. 4. On certain parts of this subdivision the UP requires trains slow down at every grade crossing to ensure that the gates activate.

The ones on cascades don’t have any Amtrak branding on them. They are just a traditional card deck.

The Pacific Surfliner is probably for the itinerary that requires taking a Surfliner train to an overnight bus to the California Zephyr. It shows up if you want to do LAX-CHI.

Probably from this incident, involving 504 (3) https://www.kezi.com/news/police-investigate-fatal-vehicle-versus-train-collision/article_10661874-d9a1-11ee-9b5a-ebc4d74909a1.html Why can’t Amtrak put fares at a glance on their website? Why is this so difficult? Airlines do it. Following up...

I just ran a search for LAX-CHI during the month of September and had no problem!

The horizon sets now run with 4 coaches + 1 business/cafe car. With the added fourth coach, they have more Coach capacity than a Talgo!

Yes, the load indicator was taken away a few months ago, but does appear to be intermittently appearing again. Note that the indicator does not always appear on the first search, it sometimes takes multiple searches. And I haven’t noticed it on the website, just the app. This leads me to...

They still sell them on the cascades.

On the older horizon cars, yes they rotate. However you’d need to ask the crew to rotate it for you, ppl are not supposed to do it by themselves. On the talgo trains, seats are fixed, but there are two sets of seats that face each other in each car.

It’s pretty early to be finding low bucket fares for those routes in October and November…

Yes, only when the departure is 7pm.

With the re-invention of Amsnag (now Railforless - which got a significant overhaul the other day), it is much easier to find low bucket fares again. Here's a low bucket bedroom on the LSL! (@niemi24s: Note this fare is not on your chart)

Yes, as long as you have a same-day First Class ticket, you'll get lounge access (even at your destination station).

Yep. The Sunset Limited (which also runs a bag car, but no transdorm) has the same situation.

Yeah I’ve noticed with that connection in particular, they almost never hold it. There were 5 times in the past 3 months where the same thing happened (where the transfer was missed within a half hour)...

Supposedly the last two cars on 28 (1) derailed at the Spokane Station.

Not able to search up fares for the City of New Orleans route. I've tried numerous date ranges, none of them work. It searches as normal but after searching for all the accomidations it gives an error message (most of the time, when I get an error, it's early on in the process). However, the...
