Attention LoopHole Fans!!!

I knew that. <_< But it's still not a round trip AGR loophole; you still have to either spend $100 or burn what, another 12,000 points? I guess it comes down to whether it's worth it to go from Columbus to Omaha for $100 or the extra points? I suppose it could, it is a longer trip and has some good scenery. . .

I would love to only have to shell out 100 bucks to do OMA-CBS. Count yourself lucky that you only have to pay peanuts to stage yourself at MKE to do this.

If you want a roundtrip loophole the closest thing out there Slidell, LA to Hammond, LA via WAS and CHI. You still have to buy two coach tickets to get in and out of NOL. That is still going to run you about 20 bucks and you don't get near as good of a trip as OMA-CBS. Then on top of that whatever you have to pay to get to NOLf. I can guarantee that you will spend more than 100 bucks staging yourself.

No, the Crescent is not on time! It's EARLY! In fact - it was early into BHM and has remained that way.
It may arrive NYP 20-30 minutes early!

Oh No they are taking your train time away!

You guys lemmie know if I am getting the hang of this loophole thingy.....

From Baltimore, I could burn 15K (roomette) on either the Cardinal or the Cap to get to CUS, to then conx to the Blue Water. I'd detrain in Niles, MI, and skip back to CUS on either South Shore, or buy $13.50, tix on 355 back to CUS.

Overnight in Chicago.

Next day buy tix $57.60, dpt CUS @ 2:00pm and travel via CZ to OMA, switch from coach to sleeper, burn another 15K (roomette), CS to PDX, then PDX to CBS on the EB. Buy coach $21.60 tix from CBS to Chicago.

Now, how to get from Chi back to Balt? (2 zones)

And, does anyone know if Detroit is in zone 1 or 2. Port Huron is listed as zone 2, but two squares show below it, without names attached to them.......

No, it would be 2 zones! Baltimore is in the eastern region and Chicago is in the midwest region. You must go to Port Huron or Detroit - or make sure your ticket is pulled.

The borders are Port Huron, Detroit, Toledo, CIN and ATL between the east and midwest. Between the midwest and west, they are ELP, every station between ABQ and TRI on the SWC, DEN and Wolf Point. All those cities/towns are in either zone!
