Update: We went up the hill rather slowly. At Grandby I saw the engineer walking around and he said that one of the locomotives was down and that he had been running full power. That was pretty impressive when you think that they were pulling a 2% grade and supplying hotel power at the same time.

I hear that. I have to laugh at those here who ask why I didn't just take coach, why didn't I do my research, etc. There will always those types who don't understand things and just don't get it. They are not successful people, are bitter, etc. That's fine. I get it. I took the same trip...

I will take your suggestion about contacting customer relations if I can find them. I already wrote to customer service. I'll see where that goes before I contact Visa. I didn't want to sit in open seating with a mask for 6 or 7 hours. I never said the meals sucked. And how was I supposed...

I fixed that. It was $800 round trip. Still kind of high.

I thought I'd take a friend of mine from Denver to Glenwood Springs, CO. It's 190 miles. I booked a trip to and from this past Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was $800 roundtrip for a roomette. The train was late in leaving Denver and had mechanical problems. We arrived two hours late. Average...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Two other questions, if you don't mind. How loud would it be in the engine room or the cab when under full power? Also, I know that they use 2 units, as one is needed for hotel power. Does one locomotive provide the electricity and the other for motive...

When I ride the Zephyr out of Denver and into the Rockies it's easy to see that it's a steep grade. Anyone know if they are running the power in the 8th notch for the climb?

We wound up driving to Glenwood Springs. It's kind of funny. The train is supposed to arrive at around 1:00 PM. It got there at 4:15 PM! We would have lost most of the day. In this case I am grateful to Amtrak for their incompetence in not letting me pay. It was a nice drive, also.

It's not an issue, it's a problem.

Hey, you get it, unlike Rebel. I won't pay by phone on principle. I have decided to just drive. The train would have been fun but it's not a bad drive through the Rockies from Denver to Glenwood Springs, and A LOT cheaper.

I did call to see if there was any support for the site. The people I talked to were clueless. When I asked to be transferred to the internet support group, they instead transferred me to a phone survey - twice. I gave up and will drive. From what I hear about Amtrak this is hardly surprising.

Very frustrating. I have booked a $500 trip and am trying to pay. On the payment page I have entered everything correctly and have checked the terms and conditions box. When I click on "purchase" nothing happens. I have tried two browsers, I have cleared the caches, etc., nothing works. Looks...
