    Amtrak Timetables

    I love that RPA is attempting to keep .pdf schedules available and I know it is a big task. I appreciate the immense attention to detail required to do the job, but noticed an error in the Lake Shore Limited schedule. Missing calling times for 449 between Boston and Albany, as well as departure...

    New train (40-41 Floridian) between Miami and Chicago via Washington DC

    Second time this week (I believe) the Floridian has been hamstrung by a bridge issue in Chicago.

    Midwest Corridor discussions-proposed.

    To my knowledge, Iowa has in the past expressed no interest whatsoever in supporting this service.

    VIA Rail Canadian and the Canadians

    Here is a nicely done and very creative YouTube video about a trip from Dauphin, Manitoba to Edmonds, Wash. I point this out because at about 16 minutes into the video he provides stark views of some of the wildfire damage done in Jasper.

    Empire Builder discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    Good job identifying Empire Builder as Empire Service, Amtrak. Interesting now they are putting disclaimers about efforts to find alternative transportation.

    Grey Cup and Canadian Vancouver to Toronto

    I watched the game. Wonder how different the outcome might have been had Zach Collaros not suffered the freak injury to his hand in the third quarter.

    Thank you. I suppose I should know, but I do not. What is PMO?

    This follow-up question is beyond the scope of this thread, but do you recall if he gave any guidance on Viewliners? Thanks.

    What should Amtrak change?

    This seriously cannot be a monumental implementation.

    Rail for Less: a fare checking site

    I found your tool to be invaluable in planning my upcoming trip to Florida. So helpful when one can be flexible with travel dates and can visually see the fares over a wide timeframe. Thank you!

    California Zephyr discussion 2024 H2

    Glad you had a terrific experience. I think we're all curious how you were able to grab these photos leaning out the window without being thrown off the train. ;-)

    Everett, WA - New York City VIA Canada.

    Thanks. I intentionally timed my trip so that it supposedly falls before the change to summer consist. And the agent said she was able to get a schematic while she had me on hold to confirm this. She actually thanked me for asking, because now she knows the answer for the next caller who asks...

    Trip Report: Halifax to Prince Rupert by Rail August to October 2024

    Officially named Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM) and once known as Agence métropolitaine de transport (ATM). Modern branding. Kinda like Comcast wants consumers to think Xfinity. Which I think is silly, but I digress...

    Everett, WA - New York City VIA Canada.

    Thank you for posting this photo. It helped me visualize where I was assigned for my trip in the spring, and allowed me enough time to call and change my car to 10 from 13, much closer the diner and Park car, which is where I want to be! I could not do without it because when I called VIA the...

    New train (40-41 Floridian) between Miami and Chicago via Washington DC

    I scheduled my first trip on the Floridian for early next month. A round trip, sort of. Pittsburgh to Orlando with a stopover to finish the leg to Miami on Brightline, and a return directly from Miami. I'll be eager to see if I get VIs or VIIs. Much prefer the IIs. I'm in the 10 car going south...

    Remote Quebec services

    Can anyone share experiences with VIA's remote services to Senneterre or Jonquiere? On the surface, it would appear either trip would be a charming journey, and certainly slow and long with an incredible number of stops along the way. But I have no idea how hospitable the end points would be...
