    Chicago station hotel

    I'm at the Palmer House right now. It is a classic hotel and worth whatever you pay. It is a $6 cab ride from/to CUS.

    SCA service seems to be going downhill fast

    I have recently traveled on the Silver Meteor, Lake Shore Limited, Texas Eagle, Capitol Limited and had outstanding SCA's on each train. I can only think of one trip where I was unhappy with the SCA.

    personal "food" items in dining car...

    I know a person who brings her own salad dressing and has never had a problem. Of course, the dressing does not contain any garlic!!

    My first cross-country trip: CZ and Wolverine, Aug. 2015

    I made the eastbound trip on #6 three weeks ago. It was a good trip in the sleeper and dining cars. The staff were friendly, helpful and experienced. My SCA was Sergio. He was truly outstanding!! The sleeper car had been refurbished and was most pleasant. Josh, thanks for your fine report.

    Zephyr > Cap limited

    I'm currently on the Zephyr en route to Florida. I'm hoping for a proper connection to #97 in WAS. I didn't realize the bus connection o Toledo was an option. I prefer to sleep in a sleeper car and not on a bus.

    Capitol Limited

    I have been on the CL three times in the past two months and will be on #30 tomorrow. It is a Superliner vs Viewliner on the LSL. I have been pleased with the CL and is more convenient for the trips I take.
