Post your Amtrak trips for November and earlier as replies in this topic.

For each trip include:
- Date (departure date for trains that travel over two or three days)
- Train number (or name)
- Departure station or code
- Arrival station or code

Thruway bus conenctions count as well. List as above.

If you are not sure about the details, simply describe your trip and we'll figure it out.

If this is your first ever mileage posting, include your name (if you prefer to keep your name private, you can PM it to me).

D*mn, I missed October! 'Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!'

Welcome to November, everyone!

Sir: Please record the following tally for me, chuljin, for October 2008:

October 2008
--Detail for one-off segments (less than five in the same direction between city pairs)
----10/4/08 - #774 - GDL-LAX - 6 miles
----10/4/08 - #775 - LAX-OXN - 67 miles
----10/4/08 - #798 - OXN-GDL - 61 miles
----10/11/08 - #566 - LAX-SAN - 128 miles (Gathering organized ...
----10/11/08 - #591 - SAN-LAX - 128 miles ... in Another Place)
----10/18/08 - #768 - GDL-LAX - 6 miles
----10/25/08 - #763 - LAX-SBA - 103 miles
----10/25/08 - #784 - SBA-GDL - 97 miles
----10/26/08 - #768 - GDL-LAX - 6 miles
--Summary data for repeated segments (five or more in the same direction between city pairs...detail in the CSV below)
----18 segments - LAX-GDL - 108 miles (6 each)
October 2008 Totals: 27 segments, 710 miles

CSV for this submission is here.

Nothing like the impressive total mileage that others were able to contribute to the total-mileage record smashing, but I do what I can to smash segment count records! :P By strange coincidence, with this submission, I have matched, as one person, the total 2007 segments for all contributors. :P
I missed the October thread, but have I missed mention in the October YTD which will soon be pinned? :)
