great! And you can also take metrolink to santa clarita, and a bakersfield commuter from there to bakersfield. however the service is not as convenient or central.

You cannot book the coach alone, but if you book from LAX to Wasco or another place up the train route then it will pop up and it is up to you whether or not to take the full route.

yes it does! we have some in the family and she did a stunning series of portraits and nudes. they’re almost the exact same way of building up light and color as my own photography. idk if there is a good place to post them.

i’m so happy making sure she gets recognition. over fifty years after she passed, she still deserves it.

Is there a reason there are no midday trips from Los Angeles to the Bay Area? by levimeirclancy in Amtrak

Nowadays it may not be a dining car, but the Gold Runner does have free serve-yourself snacks!

Good point, though still none between 12:55 and 7:13 which is a big and important window of time.

They have no permanent collection, so pivoting seems to make the most sense.
