Aside from being chronically slow, I think the Coast Starlight is
still out of service due to the mudslide south of Eugene at the end of
January. Apparently Union Pacific, who owns the track, had/is having
problems laying new track.

Hwy 101 through California and Oregon is gorgeous, but really slow

I love trains, and the trains that only travel within Oregon and
Washington
state are much nicer and faster and all around more pleasant... But
the
Coast Starlight (the train out of SF) is really a nightmare,
timewise. It's
such a shame. vj

Subject: [CODE4LIB] what's the best way to get from Portland
to San Francisco on Feb 28?
Dear Code4Lib folks,
Can some of you west-coasters advise me on the best (read: cheapest
and most fun) way to get from Portland to San Francisco on February
28? Taking a plane is my last resort. My first choice would be
hitching a ride with any conference attendees who would be going
that
way anyway, and I also thought about taking the train but Amtrak has
stymied me. Greyhound would take much too long, I imagine.
Anyway, I thought it was worth a question. Any suggestions from the
community?
