Yep, the windows are still washed at ABQ. Although now they use squeegees on poles instead of the cool forklift cleaner. But the window cleaning tradition lives on. At least as of last November, when I was last there.Not sure about the websites but I've been to both the Gallup and Winslow stations.
Gallup is an okay station, but if you plan on boarding from here be sure to know how the Chief is doing for on time performance. As the attendant will not be there if the Chief is late. He usually arrives and opens up the station an hour to 2 hours before the Chief will arive, not scheduled to arrive! And if #3 is really late, you'll miss any chance for dinner. Here's a hint that I used one time. Call up a pizza delivery company to deliver a pizza to the station.
Winslow's station is not so hot, but the hotel next to the Amtrak station is the beautiful former Harvey House, La Posada. I've stayed here and it's great! As for the station, it is less then desirable but for the rather small town of Winslow, it's okay. There are two private car tracks here, and surprisingly, they are used often.
As for websites, again I'm not sure but you can try these two.
