Good report, mta -- thanks. I do like to hear of other people's experiences with Amtrak, good and bad.

I just rode the Lake Shore (49) from ALB-CHI then took the Zephyr (5) CHI-OMA.   The Hickory Creek was on the rear of 49 going out to CHI.

 

49 Arrived Chicago On Time, The crew was outstanding, very courteous, pleasant and a good image for Amtrak. 

I ride to Chicago often and this was the first time I was going further.  I rode the Zephyr (5) to Omaha, once again the crew was excellent. The Conductor of 5 told me to check out the Dunham Museum-Union Station.  It was fantastic a great recommendation.   I have found not only a place to go visit again, but I will also will be traveling each time, by train.

 

I rode (6) back to CHI and then (48) back to ALB.  Great rides and crews again.  On 48 they had two private cars on the rear which got cut off at CLE.
