[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [qb] Vicki, Albuquerque is one of the least likely places you would ever encounter a late train. BNSF keeps the Chief on time and there is schedule padding at ABQ, so you would more likely be early than late. Last time I was there, Hertz either picks you up at the station or pays for your cab ride to their airport location (4 miles), and you can drop your car at the station and leave the keys with the agent. [/qb][/QUOTE]Hey Vicki, I concur! While no train is 100% on-time, the Chief is normally on-time (and often early) arriving into Albuquerque. There is even a cheaper option for reaching the Hertz office at the airport too. The Albuquerque City Transit system has their main terminal NEXT DOOR to the Amtrak station. The city bus takes about one half hour to the airport, costs just $1.00, and gives you a close-up look at the University of New Mexico on the way. My wife and I have interfaced between air/rail/and rental car in ABQ 2 or 3 times now and I've done it on my own two other times. In fact, in 2002 when Amtrak was threatened by the possibility of a total shutdown I rode #4 from LAX to ABQ (arrived early), caught the bus to the airport, flew back to LAX, got one of the direct vans from the airport, and walked into Union Station just 24 hours after my first departure.......and then I left again on the Sunset which pulled out at 10:30pm in those days. But I digress.......Albuquerque is one of the easiest and cheapest cities to switch transportation modes in. You can always get good info here on ABQ by posting a thread to 'Chucky's Attention'.....he's a regular on this forum who lives there. Happy Trax.......Oh, and I stayed on topic here. Not one word about ponies! [/QB][/QUOTE]
