推 hsiawenc:這樣你不就幾乎整個月都在火車上？
→ davidlhs:XD 真的在火車上時間是蠻長的, 不過有刻意選時段, 在車上
→ davidlhs:睡覺休息
推 hsiawenc:Empire Builder有透明屋頂車廂，可以觀賞雪山景觀
推 ndr:Empire Builder這陣子因為bnsf鐵路太忙,誤點有點厲害
→ ndr:可以參考www.amtrak.com上的公告資訊
→ cchris:可查過去5天所有班次的到離狀況,就知道接不接得上
推 ccshan:哇，好羨慕。Coast Starlight有人戲稱Coast Starlate，要是
→ ccshan:在LA接不上的話我不會意外。建議乾脆在LA待一晚再走吧。
推 Marimo:這禮拜在紐約附近搭了三趟，有一趟在車上因故障等了快一小
→ Marimo:時，一趟剛到車站就看到公告說要底累2.5小時，最後晚了快三
→ Marimo:小時。第三趟準時，但在車站有看到另一班公告底累2.5小時，
→ Marimo:後來也不知幾點才來......
→ Marimo:我被底累三小時那班，後段的車因此沒坐到，但Amtrak的條款
→ Marimo:是如果底累到後面Amtrak的車班，他會負責(但非Amtrak的車班
→ Marimo:，如飛機，他就不會理了)，所以我後半段的火車是計程車代替
→ Marimo:開這麼久的車，又要在一小時內，以我這趟經驗是蠻危險的
→ Marimo:不過如果底累也無妨的話，沒接到他們是會負責的XD
→ Marimo:條款上是寫會找替代班次或其他交通工具"或當地住宿"
→ davidlhs: 瞭解, 感謝樓上的資訊 :)
