PAX East Train Alliance 2015: Metal Gear Line
OP stolen fromgenerously donated by @zerzhul and modified for 2015
The Metal Gear Line
"Snaaaaaaaaake!"
Train: 448 Lake Shore Limited (the 48 is the same train from Chicago to Albany, but splits off from the 448 in Albany and heads to NYC. Be in the right cars. The conductors are very helpful in this regard.)
Originating Station: Chicago, IL - Union Station (CHI)
Departure Date/Time: Wednesday, March 4, 21:30 CDT
Travel Time: 22h40m
Stops/Schedule (as of June 9, 2014): subject to change by Amtrak
Arrival Date/Time: March 5, 21:10 EDT
Schedule Source
Lake Shore Limited info (for the entire line, not just the 448)
Coming? An easy way to see your fellow passengers, use the following template:
3DSeseses work great. Small board/card games are always a good time especially if they're all personal hand type stuff. Jenga has been tried on occasion. Don't assume you'll be able to stay in the dining car with the tables the entire time, so probably Twilight Imperium isn't a great idea. The dining car goes to New York, not Boston, so isn't available after the Albany stop.
Other questions? Post below, they might even get answered.
Notes:
- THIS TRAIN SELLS OUT. Don't wait until the 4th and assume you will be able to get a ticket.
- This isn't the train from Washington/Philadelphia/NYC to Boston. Somebody else should make a Sonic Line post.
- No, I don't have a bigger version of the map.
