Hi, all. A few weeks ago we visited the Corning Museum of Glass here in New York State. This is the factory where Corelle was developed, so the large gift shop sells a lot of discounted and clearance Corelle products. We were very surprised to find a display of nearly a thousand Amtrak plates...

Hi, all. An interesting quirk that my mom is running into: Setting a reservation for a round-trip from Elkhart to Cumberland in September and October places the rider on the Capital Limited on the way out, as you'd expect. On the return trip, it gives me these options: Ride the CL from...

Hi, all. I've seen various discussions regarding points and transfers from United and/or Continental, and never seem to remember what I've read. I'll be doing some flying tomorrow (I rarely do this--if train is an option, I'll take that any day!). When going through the online check-in, there...

Hello, all. I've been lurking for a while but haven't posted in a bit... Three of the daily Empire Service trains (one each direction, so actually six) stop at the New York State Fair for the duration of the fair (late August through early September). Does anyone know when that stop gets...

I'll be traveling from Rocheester to NYC in late March, and this great deal popped up...

Hi, all. I'm getting ready for my next trip (Music Teacher's conference in Milwaukee!) next weekend. I couldn't have planned it better: I got the winter discounts, and I'll also get the double points for the spring. On the way back, I'm meeting a friend who lives in Chicago. Since my layover...

Hi, all. I really enjoy the discussions around here, and seldom feel the need to contribute because you all answer the questions I'm already thinking! Thanks for the great discussions! I recall discussion about a "town hall" forum last March that proposed future changes in routes. Here at...

Hi, all. Since moving to Rochester, I've traveled the LSL a half dozen times or so back to my hometown. I avoid driving, since focusing on the road for nine hours is boring. Being well over six feet tall and quite active, the train is really my only option. Also, I convinced my wife to take...
