So Amtrak didn't bother you for filming here? Hopefully they didn't care.

Deerfield Beach is one of the most friendly Amtrak stations in South Florida. Many of the Amtrak employees that work there know who I am and don't have a problem with me filming.

Good job. P091 got into Hwd. Sta. @ 5:22 PM. That's pretty good time from Deerfield Bch. I had to stop for it on my way to Downtown Hwd. to catch 222 which rolled through @ 5:30 PM.

Thanks! I usually don't get 91 running early to on time often, but I have recently.

What was the car directly after the view liners? Also, I have taken several trips (in Superliner Roomettes), are the view liners something to try?

I had a sleeper car on this train :)

[TheDylanJoyce]

has there ever been a time a train has..."Overshot" the station platform? like failed to brake in time lining up the train with the station?

[danglesmcnasty]

are the sleepers usually at the front? when I was on 97 to FL and 92 from FL they were on the end.

we took one of the silver trains 10 years ago and it took SEVEN HOURS from Alexandria to Richmond due to a CSX speed restriction.. 7 hrs for a 2 1/2 hr trip!

I suggest to do what I did: ride it as far as Reno and rent a car. I know Donner pass is great to cross but there are many delays on the capitol corridor between Emryville and Sacrm. Also you can stay at Lake Tahoe before you drop down into the CA . Central Valley. Reno is now in a ditch to get rid of all the downtown RR crossings.

The bedrooms do give you your own sink/toilet but If I'm alone it's alot cheaper to get a roomette. I have been pretty lucky as the toilet is not far and the attendants keep them clean and leave cans of lysol in there. There are also plenty on the lower level where the shower is.
