Appears to be dead again. Anyone else successful in bringing it up?

It died shortly after the introduction of the new Amtrak website.

Indeed! It is also working again using 64-bit IE9.

I know he's turned down "donations" in the past, but I sure wish there was some way to more tangibly thank him. Amsnag is a magnificent coalescence of art, technology and ingenuity.

Arrrrggggghhhh... sometimes I think Amtrak is trying to kill me.

Amsnag has gone away again ("### Unable to parse page! ###") - I presume due to ongoing changes in Amtrak's website.

Such as useful tool. I'm not certain I can survive without it.

I'm finding it working in Chrome at this moment on a couple of test itineraries.

This is among the more valuable travel tools discussed on FlyerTalk, and I'm grateful the developer continues to make it work. My searches seldom cover more than about ten days, however, so, yes, I could punch in individual dates on amtrak.com.

Probably nervous paranoia on my part.

It occurs to me that I might have been trying during the weekly 3-hour period when amtrak.com shuts down for maintenance. I thought the shut down happened on Sunday evening/Monday morning, but now that I think about it, Saturday evening/Sunday morning makes more sense.
