Amtrak Coast Starlight Train Journey LA To Seattle June 2025 UPDATED Day 2 and Arrival at Seattle

[citruscurtis]

Coast starlight Amtrak was 5 hours or more late last week of August for 4 days. And another 10 hour delay between Eugene and cresting the Cascades South bound and has been running late out of LA Metro area north bound

The system has changed since 2011 or later... there is no longer the extensive menus... you are provided limited choices..I have breakfast south of Klamath falls North bound and find the $20.00 breakfast good for the situation and it is a full meal and in comparison to chain breakfast not that much more. And interesting to have conversation with intelligent folks. I ride Coach and they now have the business cars as the coach assignment and the fancy parlor car was also removed and I do wish that tink could have enjoyed that luxury... having the parlor car removed is the reason I don't purchase a sleeper.

A lot of it is cooked sous vide now, so that makes things a lot more consistent.

Christmas Eve and passengers having a white Christmas breakfast... running 5 hours late out of Oakland...so daylight hours in the snow covered California and Oregon

New year weekend... train arrived in Santa Barbara 2 hours late and than sat for 4 hours.... hopefully they were able to explore downtown around the corner before heading north at 6:00 on Saturday.... but with the rain????.... probably scout vehicles examine rails on Vanderburgh
