Just curious if anyone knows the reason for the recent arrival delays of the #30 into WAS? I'm guessing it could be all the rain? Heading that way tomorrow and hoping I make my Acela connecting in DC :-)

Taking my first trip in about 3 years (rode the SWC from KS to LA in 2014). Just curious how the EB is doing with passengers making the connection to the CL in Chicago? My son and I will be traveling from MSP to CHI and then onto DC. Thanks!

I will be taking my first trip on the Southwest Chief (Newton, KS to LA) in July and have been periodically looking at Amtrak Delays just to get an idea of how the train runs. The Chief was doing really well in early spring, but when I looked this morning, there are some pretty significant...

**Just realized the LSL left late last night to accommodate all the poor folks coming in on the EB** I'm guessing that's the reason? Just curious if anyone knows why today's LSL is running 2+hours late? Is it heat? Just trying to figure out if it's something that's likely to happen again...

Just curious: I've booked a trip w/a sleeper using AGR. Let's say I'm taking the CZ to Chicago and am ticketed on the LSL into NYP (final destination NJ). If I arrive in time to make the CL and there is a bedroom available, can I switch to this train mid-trip? The reason I ask is because I...

If all goes well next week and the CZ is close to on-time into Chicago (knock on wood), I will have about 6 hours before the LSL leaves. I'll have my 8-year-old son with me and would love suggestions for things we can do, places to eat in that time frame. Is the top of the Sears Tower and a...

I live right inbetween Fargo and Omaha, so either station is an option for Amtrak travel. I'll be heading to NJ in July and am trying to decide which route will give me the bet chance to make my connecting train in Chicago. Right now, it seems like the EB is running really late consistently. Any...

I'm in the process of revising an upcoming trip b/c of the flooding disruptions and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with longterm parking at the Minn/St. Paul Amtrak station? We'd be leaving our car there for 12 days. Is the parking lot pretty safe? Do we need to worry about whether or...

I have a family trip booked (with AGR) for the 3rd week in May from Fargo to DC and back via the LSL. I'm starting to worry a bit about the potential for flooding and how it might effect train travel in NoDak and Minnesota. Anyone have an opinion about this? I don't recall how service east of...

I am planning our second Amtrak trip for this May (Fargo to New York). We're going through DC on the way out and spending a few days there before heading up to the NY area. On the way back, we could go the same route in reverse or take the Lake Shore Limited. I keep reading bad reviews of the...

I am hoping some of the experienced Amtrak travelers might have an answer for this :) Right now, I've booked and paid for our summer trip: Omaha - Chicago - DC on the way out and Newark - DC - Chicago - Omaha on the way back. I was thinking about leaving from Fargo instead. This would only...

Well, I just booked our trip :) Thanks for all the great suggestions, tips and info. We're going Omaha - Chicago - DC and returning Newark - DC - Chicago - Omaha. I booked us into bedrooms on all legs except Oma - Chi and Newark - DC (so 3 legs with BRs). We've got room E twice and room D...

Hello :) I am very happy to have found this board! I've learned so much the past few days from just reading the great info here - the first timers forum is great! I am in the process of planning our family's first Amtrak trip (Me, hubby and our 4-1/2-year-old son). We will be traveling from...
