Yeah, I missed the phone call about my 300 being cancelled while I was at work today. They didn’t leave a message (my inbox is probably full), but I found the corresponding email. Biz is sold out on 302, so really don’t want to do that. The shuttle to CDL for CONO connections isn’t an option...

I can verify that STL is a 24 hour station with no carts available. There is security there, and random ticket checks are conducted (especially overnight)... The KFC/Pizza Hut combo closes at... I want to say 7 pm, but there is a little convenience store, for lack of a better term, in the...

Granted I live in the territory where they're more common, but yeah, I knew it even from that tiny corner by the engine heh

Did you like the popcorn?  NoC is one of my go tos when I'm passing through or spending a day or three in Chicago and I have spare money. :D

While for some reason, I was thinking SLC, heh

My question is (since I've only just woke up, I don't expect Google to function properly for me), where is there a bustitution along the SAC-SLC portion of the Zephyr currently? I got the robo call saying that there will be alternate transportation over part of the route about a half hour ago...

I'll add another endorsement for the HI SAC location - stayed there last summer, booked to stay there again this summer. I love (aside from the price point of other nearby hotels) that I can just come off the train and turn onto H Street to get there, without having to even set foot inside the...

Sounds like inept Chicago to me, unless things have actually changed since my last attempt to enter the Metro Lounge purely on a coupon (disclaimer - yes, I did Metro Lounge in December, for those that follow my adventures off this site, but I also ultimately came into Chicago on 58 that day).

With the minimum gone? Let's face it, Kirkwood will probably see a lot less of me, unless I get so desperate to get out of the house that I go wander STL county anyway, and end up at the station to say "hi" out of habit... For redemptions, though? Gathering the initial points will be more...

Granted, it's been April 2014 since the last time I've been in Boston... But darn it, now I want a sandwich or two from Cheeseboy... Though at least with the supplies I do have handy, I could recreate one of the sandwiches I remember having during the course of the PAX East I did most...

And I say "why waste money on something I'll kill, when that money could go to at least points runs?" :3 (seriously, my late grandmother was the last person in my immediate family that had any interest in making things grow).

... *raises an eyebrow* for the simple factor of "to have had the experience", that makes me half wish that they had not bustituted me - it's not like I made the Crescent that night anyway.

Hmm... It *is* really starting to look like we were among the last handful of people to be allowed that connection, huh, Jim? :)

For some reason I think that station code was supposed to be BNL. :) Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

I would dare say in part to make up for it not showing up last year when they said it was gonna heh Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

It's funny, though... i don't usually use it because I'm only taking an Alton or Kirkwood run and I arrive very near boarding (especially on 302 days where I don't make a detour for coffee first), but I've been able to use my S+ card to get into STL lounge. Disclaimers, though - I tend to only...

*chuckles* The California cars are pretty cool, huh? At least for the people that don't have to ride in them on a regular basis. :P

To me, as a person that doesn't usually drink liquor... it depends on how desperately you want a particular seat. For an aisle seat on a flight where by my priorities I *have* to be off ASAP after arrival, if I can afford the difference, I'd do it. Usually I'm fine with the Earlybird Checkin...

Hmmm... ! Aside from rearranging things period, I want to say that some part of that run was sold out - I remember that the run I ended up on was my second search. Photographed at St. Louis? Admittedly always a possibility, though me remembering a specific bus number even a few hours later is...

Because that was about the 9:30 to 11 pm Eastern on Wednesday range, when I was still raging about missing the Crescent and wanting to get to Atlanta with an arrival still technically on Thursday with no deeper schedule specific knowledge. I know that I could have poked here for help, but I...
