I think you're confusing me with somebody named... The Traveler? :huh:

Nice report Jim. Thanks! :cool:

Hey, at least there's plenty of meat to this conversation! :P And there's no asking here... "WHERE'S THE BEEF!" :lol: .... :unsure:

I'm not talking trains here, but I was often assigned to a seat in the principals office by my teachers! :rolleyes:

I can't really say as I don't know how much I do know. A couple of legit things I know from experience that does take priority and causes delays is when the SA has a number of stops during meal times and has passengers to bring aboard. Another is when a superior orders him to cover another car...

One correction! In NY Spitzer is brought up as a joke as far as I can see. It's AG Andrew Cuomo, son of former NYS Gov. Mario Cuomo to watch out for. It's being reported locally that Andrew is on the edge of democratic supporters flipping to Andrew if Gov. Pattersons polls drop any further...

Seeing that I have never seen, let alone know that there is "standards manual," I'll have to take your word for that! I wonder just how often an SA actually does solicit passengers in rooms other than the H room. I'd bet not often! Even in the H room I haven't always been asked but had to take...

[Chorus/Refrain] Home, home on the dome On east coast and west coast they'd roam If they built number two Leaving no coast feeling blue Since both coasts could then call the dome home!

Thanks for the comments on my trip report. As for the comments by the LSA in the diner, we need (as well as the SLA) to remember that it is not primarily the responsibility of the sleeper attendant to solicit the passengers for in-room meal service - especially non H room passengers, but it is...

He, she, it can't be for real! Sounds like it might be a hapless spoofaholic to me! <_<

I enjoyed the video! It's not scenic in the traditional way, but it is Americana, diverse and interesting. Beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder! :)

A chicken and a cow? :unsure: "There's something wrong with that picture" sez the rooster to the bull! :blink:

Contact the CIA. They have software that can help decifer it! :lol:

I guess I I'm just the ultimate sleeper fan. Just thinking about being in coach is too much for me! :(

Get hit by a bolt of lightning? Hey, just make your reservations to be on the same train as the Traveler. His travels move so fast that lightning never has a chance to catch-up! :lol:

I would have done that but because of my size and physical condition it it's impractical to impossible for me to do that. What I did this trip for the first time is make notes in a little pocket notebook and pray that I can read my train altered writing :blink: later on! :)

This question just popped up in my mind. (I'll be alright!) If you make a reservation with the entire trip bought with AGR points, and you had experienced situations like no AC or toilets not working, etc., would the purchasing via points only have any effect on Cust. Services decision to give...

IMO the picture of it looks less appealing than it actually was. Maybe is the lack of the sensual (smell) to go along with the visual! ;)

Craig, Nice report. I wish I could remember detail as much as you did for your report. Reading it actually kept me up past my bedtime! :blink: But that is mean't to be a compliment. There was one thing I finally learned from viewing you photo site, and that is you don't wear a 10 gallon...

Being that some people can become sick (nausa, dizzyness, vertigo) from riding backwards in a moving vehicle, doesn't Amtrak try as best they can to made sure that all sleeper rooms with seats that only face in one direct are oriented so that the passengers are facing the direction that the...
