Thanks everyone who has responded. To clarify a couple of points of confusion, and my thanks here to @BlackDiamond, I was asking about a walking stick, not a cane. My walking stick was a gift from my bestest friend about 40 or 50 years ago and I've carried it on many a hike in many parks...

Thank you @Lcon for taking the time to explain it for me. I guess if I were an olive - I was in the situation where the whole salad was done away with!

I am not familiar with this expression, and google didn’t come up with anything. Can you tell me what it means?

Albuquerque city bus depot is right next to the Amtrak station. it looks like all city buses are free to ride. see how close the bus gets you to where you want to go.

Our recent experience… In mid July we hopped off the LSL in Toledo. Headed to Columbus, there were no buses until much later in the day. We rented a car and drove down and were there shortly after lunch. Leaving Columbus a few days later for Chicago to catch the CONO, we didn’t want to drive...

I sure like that Crescent schedule better than today's version :)

I’ve rode a few trains, but I’ve never even approached a triple digit speed. I hope to ride the Acela, I hope to ride Briteline - just for the experience of it. If I purposefully went out of my way and bought a ticket for either one I would be very disappointed if I couldn’t see out the...

A quick question here if I may. If the LD train is underway and then canceled due to freight derailment, bridge out or whatever… there is talk of turning the train around and returning to the starting point. How, exactly, do they do that? Surely not backing all the way? But you can’t do a...

If a second auto train from the upper midwest was a thing to consider, what about a Chicago to New Orleans route? Disclaimer: I’ve never rode the auto train and know next to nothing about it other than this thread.

Be sure to let us know where you plan to make this stop, and after the fact, how it went for you. I would love to consider the Empire Builder next year, but that is one long stretch across the northern plains...

Great news! NOLA wants it up and running within six months, how doable is that? And Mobile says if it is more than two trips per day, they want out? Tell me there is some fine print that would make this make sense…

Wow, three years and a twisty winding path to page 31! I read it all, and I have questions… What did/has Amtrak done with the 66 billion - with a “B”? Some engines & new rail cars of all types ordered and beginning to be delivered? What else? What seems to be a near universal complaint is...

We’ll be there in mid-Sept. Will post an update 🙂

That’s dissapointing news C-Z, how long ago were you there?

That’s disappointing news C-Z, how long ago were you there? A quick search on the net tells me that it sure isn’t promoted…

Does the wrapping obscure the view if you are in the train or is it a sunshade type of wrap?

@joelkfla & @Traveller - I can't thank you enough for this heads up. I've put it on our itinerary and am really looking forward to it.

Interesting, I had seen their affiliated diner in City Hall while I was looking over maps of the area. Getting a pic of City Hall is on my list of things to do for a couple reasons - I enjoy looking at and when possible touring old buildings, especially court houses and state capitols. This...

This makes me wonder why Amtrak doesn’t just throw in the towel and schedule stops long enough for passengers to get off and actually eat? Maybe a 1-1 1/2 hour stop where there’s a crew change. Passengers can feel comfortable getting off and walking a block or so. Local growth would occur as...

My better half is 5’4”. We just rode three LD trains, overnight on each. She reports no problems with the footrest location. She was good with the leg support. & footrest combo.
