As someone who rides the amtrak system through Texas quite a bit, just
a word of caution for those picking up folks using Amtrak. The line
through Texas is seldom ever on time. It is among the worst in the
Amtrak system for on-time schedules. I have arrived in San Antonio as
much as an hour and a half late, and I have never arrived on time. So
be aware of these conditions.
There is a section on Amtrak's webpage that will give you an updated
schedule for a particular train. And yes, there's even an iPhone app
for that.
And as an aside, even for it's lateness, it is still an incredible way
to travel. You learn to deal with the lateness. I didn't say tolerate,
but you cope. Gotten more books read while riding the train to and
from Dallas. And it's cheap.

Dear San Antonio area cavers---
I'm looking for any folks who are NOT going to the ICS early and who
may be able to pick up some folks at the Amtrak train station and
put them up for a night and then deliver them to the Airport the
next morning for free shuttle transportation? Or, would a volunteer
driver be willing to pick them up that late and bring them to
Kerrville?
I have 2 people arriving at 10:25 pm at the Amtrak station on the
evening of Friday the 17th. I also have 4 people arriving the
evening of the 18th at 10:25 pm. If you think you could help out,
please contact me off list ASAP at [email protected] to get more
details.
Thanks!
