I have been given the go ahead for my vacation. ;=3

This is my first extended vacation in quite some time. :=3

So here are the times of the various trains.

A couple of notes. I have to verify the time of arrival of the CZ in Chicago. It seems they changed the schedule a bit. Also be advised that the long distance trains can be delayed quite a bit.

And as much as I would like company in D.C. on Saturday I would advise against it, except for maybe a certain Celtic fox. With Obama/Biden arriving by train that day, WUS is going to be a mad house and security will be tight.

Train numbers and names:
4668, 4621 & 4623 NJT AC Service
195, 148 & 178 Northeast Regional (I will probably try to catch the earlier one if the Capitol Ltd. is on time to Washington.)
29 & 30 Capitol Limited
3 Southwest Chief
14 Coast Starlight
524 Capitol Corridor Service
6 California Zephyr

you should take the train and come out and visit sometime.

Or, you could take the train to here. ;=3

Enjoy the trip through Glenwood Canyon and the tunnel district on #6.

That particular section is my home turf, and #6 has a reputation for running late.
