They've been serving a turkey shank special on the last few trains I've been on and I don't care if it's processed all to heck it is perfect, meat-falling-off-the-bone turkey.

Just to throw a little current knowledge in this thread, that isn't super relevant but whatever: I am aboard the SWC heading east and we are now in an hour and a half delay at Raton while they go fetch another engine (or whatever) that is actually capable of getting us up the Raton Pass. Is...

The Weatherford has 10 rooms, in fact, according to their website. Two of them even have air conditioning! Thanks for the local knowledge. I prefer boutique to somewhat seedy so I am going to go with one of the other two, if possible.

The Weatherford looks nicer to me, at least going by Yelp reviews. Maybe I'll just get a room there that night rather than leaving Phoenix so late on the shuttle. Be nice to have a place to crash for a bit and monitor how late the eastbound train is...

One other question for you all: is there any place to wait at the station after hours? For the return trip I was thinking of having Arizona Shuttle drop me off (and getting my car at Sky Harbor), but the closest time they drop off to the eastbound SWC arrival is 2 AM.

So I called to check if I could at least drop the car off at the station and apparently that option is going away too for Hertz. Someone mentioned Enterprise upthread and they said I can still leave the keys at the drop box so I guess I'm going with them. A shame too, I liked being a Hertz only...

You know, that might not be a bad idea...I'm coming from Philly and my idea was to break the trip up with a few nights in Kansas City. If I take the Crescent to the Sunset Ltd it would take a similar amount of time but I'd get to Arizona a little earlier and Tucson's airport Hertz has far later...

Yeah, sorry for bumping an old thread (and with my first post too.) When I googled "amtrak flagstaff hertz" this was the most detailed thread about it so I figured it might be useful to add my new information to it. I've been spoiled in general with car renting and Amtrak since my main train...

So I don't know if anyone has done this recently but I called to see how to reserve a Sunday night car from Hertz and the woman I talked to said 1. there were no longer having an agent available to meet off-hours arrivals and 2. they were closing the Hertz desk at the Amtrak station. Hertz was...
