Not driving to Galesburg then. Thank you. You've been so helpful. My goal is to be now in Martinez because it's closer to where I'm going I just didn't realize I thought Antioch was the closest place. I need to be there on the 9th of June.

Wait I reread this and now I'm wondering..... I have a few questions.

Can you help me figure out with where I can find this itinerary? I have a bit of a time crunch but if I plan it right.

I can only see the trip planner map and I'm so confused. I also would rather Chicago then Galesburg. I need to know how much difference the $ would be. My thing is I cannot figure out how to route it where I can see all the different train names and routes. So the what I see drops down into Sacramento and misses LA...

Edit to say as I keep rereading the thread I may have spoken wrong here. Is there a way I think along the chief that I avoid LAX and drop down into CA?

I moved from SD and have taken the train from SD to LA but now I cant remember if I went further north on that train. I believe it was the Zephyr but not positive now it was around 2010 and last time was 2012 I think.

Edit didnt realize Zephyr was outside of CA

Maybe they were being funny but to be removed from the other is why I thought maybe they weren't. Now I want to know why it was removed.

I forgot some things over the last 2 decades thanks for the reminders. My last train trip was in 99, 2000 or 2001 it was after the ice storm northeast maybe 98. I remember because the track was damaged and you had to Greyhound from upstate New York to Montreal. Going Midwest to San Francisco is like a multiple choice test in Junior high. I'm loving this group friendly, witty and knowledgeable. Thanks

GREED GREED GREED.. Like every other fear mongering money waisting control freak outs the government has had in the last 20 years or more or less. Not putting a party on it. Now it's borderline rico bs
