    late train/missed connection senario

    I have been riding Amtrak for 17 years and only once did I miss a connection. Amtrak put me up in a nice hotel (in Chicago) gave me taxi money, dinner money and booked me on the next day train. Other than being one day late, I was pleased with the arrangements by Amtrak.

    Holland, St. Joseph MI

    Thanks for the videos of Holland, Michigan. It brought back pleasant memories of the three years we lived in the Netherlands. We lived in Amsterdam and my wife would get a seasons pass to Keugenhoff Gardens where the most beautiful tulips would be on display from the growers. I often...

    I'm sad to learn of Joe's passing. I always walked around the Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago looking for Joe, and many times he was there!! A wonderful person. Thanks Alan for letting us know.

    Hallmark Channel's The Christmas Train

    Mrs. Shanghai watched the show. She commented to me that the bedroom on the train was very different from the bedroom we have taken. She mentioned the size of the room and that there was a desk in the room.

    Cardinal #50 - Superliner Sleeper - Nov 18, 2017.

    I saw on Facebook today a video of train #50 with a superliner sleeper. If this is true, will the sleeper passengers be required to change to a Viewliner sleeper in WAS? If so, what happens to the passengers in rooms 11 through 14 and the family room? Perhaps the entire FB post is a hoax...

    Auto Train and medical emergencies

    When we lived overseas, I would rent a car in NJ that was normally restricted to NJ & NY. I had to request that the car could travel to PA where my daughter was in college. No problem, but PA was added to the contract.

    Viewliner II Part 2: Dining Car Production, Delivery, Speculation

    I hope the new V2's have a proper shut-off for the air systems. I'm tired of taping over the vent when the shut-offs don't work!! Every Viewliner and Superliner I have been on for at least the past three years have not worked properly and I have taped over (or the SCA has taped over) the...

    San Francisco to New York tips?

    We have a daughter in San Francisco, so when we travel there we go to Chicago (2 days), spend the night in a hotel, then travel onto San Francisco (2 days). We do the same on the return trip. Makes the trip more enjoyable.
