Old Zone Map

[momof5]

Does anyone still have the old zone map that had the cities listed? I'm wondering what is the furthest stop going east from California heading toward NYP for a 2-zone award? I was thinking I could use AGR up to the 2 zone and then pay cash from there.

Thanks!

You could go to Toledo, at which point at 3am you would switch to coach on the LSL - or you could go via the Cardinal and at Cincinnati at 4am you could switch to coach and have more train-riding time.

O if you pay for the overnight hotel in NOL, you can go to Atlanta for 2 zones.

I consider the 20,000 point two-zone roomette the best AGR deal. On a trip from EMY to BOS, for example, I will pay for a roomette EMY to DEN and spend the points for Denver to Boston. I have always been able to get the same space for both the AGR and paid space on the train involved.

I have been less lucky, however, at getting both transactions combined into one trip with guaranteed connections. Therefore, I avoid the other alternative which would be AGR from EMY to TOL and pay from TOL to BOS. A missed connection in Chicago would be an expensive problem.

Why did Amtrak remove the city names from the zone map in the first place?

Because it's AGR and they want to make it confusing for Members and Agents! :giggle:

The link just worked for me, but occasionally it appears to be dead.

Here is another copy:

Awwww, that's PERFECT, jersey42........and much clearer [hi-def] than before IIRC.

Thanks!

That they can't put city names on their current map (especially since they did it in the past!) is just exasperating. This is 2013.

I hear AGR will put up a new zone map sometime this year. It may even have city names, and remove the Broadway Limited/Three Rivers route and border city!

Oh, how I wish I was in Fostoria. Fostoria, today. (with apologies to Tom and Dick Smothers). AND, my mother liked my brother best!

is pensacola a border city? could you do a 1 zone redempmtion from, say, wpt to pensacola? if so, how do you think it would be routed?

 

[the_traveler]

By walking to/from either NOL or JAX?

#8/#28 to CHI, #30 to WAS, #20 to Birmingham, Rent a Car or Hitchhike to Pensacola! :giggle:

 

[Ryan]

What about Pensacola to Fostoria?

 

[yarrow]

maybe i'll call agr and ask.

Guests/newbies: Seriously, Amtrak no longer goes through Pensacola. The Sunset Limited did at one time, but no more.
