Salt Lake City is open 10 PM-5:15 AM, more or less the opposite of a "normal" work shift.

This may be dead horse by now, but I really wish they were using this livery instead of the new American one. Ah well.

The article doesn't specify if these cameras would record audio full-time as well. On some transit buses, internal cameras are video-only unless one of a few specific events occur, which turns on audio for a limited period of time.

Manhattan Deli at the Atlantis, about 3 miles south of downtown on Virginia St, makes a good corned beef sandwich; I'd expect their pastrami to be good as well. Another option that I can vouch for the general quality of is Newman's Deli at California Ave and Virginia St; they offer a "mile...

Don't know for sure about bag storage but I would guess most of the hotels would hold your bags if you're doing anything on property. Most of the casino hotels have shuttles to the airport; Harrah's is relatively strict about who gets to use them, but I've almost never been refused a ride on the...

The last time I used Greyhound I used Print at Home to get my tickets and had no issues getting bags "checked" and stored in the underside of the bus. I think what they're trying to say (but not saying very well) is with a print at home ticket, you still need to visit the luggage desk if you...

I can't find a picture of it, but I recently saw a poster in a station-Sacramento, probably-that said something to the effect of "book early for holiday travel so we can add cars if need be," accompanied by an cartoon of a fairy (?) adding more cars to a train. I think it also mentioned how a...

Makes sense, especially since Elko-Salt Lake has to be one of the longest runs without a stop in the Amtrak system. Of concern is that It's not clear if they're actually talking to Amtrak or are just building a station and expecting the trains to stop. That article also mentions the idea of...

I'll be on a San Joaquin from Denair (Turlock) to Bakersfield and then an Ambus to Las Vegas on Friday.

On the "sleeping car service on all segments" verbiage, true. The first agent didn't say that's what the problem was, though, he said it was because it wasn't a published route. I'll probably end up going up to LA the night before anyway, so not having the ANA-LAX segment as part of the trip...

Success! I didn't add the Surfliner section this time, which seemed to do the trick.

Denver to LA via 5 and 11 is not a published route either and it requires an overnight in SAC as well, but the site gives that as an example of an allowable booking under this rule. The rule in question, via https://amtrakguestrewards.com/info/redemptionguidelines and under redemption travel by...

So I'm trying to book a trip between Anaheim (ANA) and Reno (RNO). Ideally I'd like to not use buses and also experience the Pacific Parlor Car so I was hoping to be able to invoke the rule on AGR about non published routes that allows booking a sleeper with an overnight in a city-in this case...

Possibly some elected official requested Red Cap service there? Based on who it's named for, that might be why Wilmington is on there, though it has quite a lot more passengers than RTE. Another thought: They could be testing how well Red Caps would work at smaller stations, and chose that one...

Wow, I've probably walked near that place hundreds of times and never seen it. I'll have to check it out. I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about with the Round Table sign though. Round Table's a chain, but a decent one. High grease content (they don't skimp on the cheese), though, so it...

Looks like you caught some of the stragglers from Hot August Nights (classic car show) in Reno. It sounds like you got to Midtown, which is good. Lots of weird/interesting stuff there. I'm intrigued by your mentioned of a Russian café, caravanman; do you remember what it was called?

As livery changes go this one's decent but hardly earth-shaking. I doubt I'll have any recollection of the old scheme once it's fully changed. The changes appear to be: move the airline name from the tail to the body (fine); end the orange further back (eh); and move the website script from the...

The buffalo meatloaf they had as a special once in a while is great; not sure if it's still being offered anywhere. I've never had a bad experience with the half chicken but some find it overly salty. I prefer the pancakes to the french toast, but that's largely a function of my feelings...

I don't have either service in my home town (though as a former cab driver I hear rumblings that Uber's coming); my only experience with Uber was in Chicago, and it was rather disappointing. The car showed up with a police officer on his tail, who promptly began hassling the driver about his...

I as well just discovered that I can't login to NARP's website with my existing account, and my email address isn't recognized. Which is odd, since I'm still getting newsletters.
