Saw a train with at least an AMTRAK engine leaving Charlottesville VA on the Cardinal route today heading towards Gordonsville/Orange/Culpepper/DC - wouldn't be a shock if it were Wed, Fri, or Sunday (would have been the Cardinal a few hours late) - any idea what AMTRAK was running today? I was...

You will thoroughly enjoy your room and this upcoming trip! A great treat to have a bedroom all to your self. Enjoy!

Be sure you send a note through the AMTRAK website reporting your great service!

I agree with the poster who recommended the Crescent all the way to NYP. Coach seats on the Crescent have TONS of room - very nice - and the diner is so much better than the NER cafe - breakfast is pretty reasonable and decent tasting. Book early to get a low rail (coach) price, and keep...

I am connecting with the NER from CVS to WAS both to and from Chicago for the trip - true, I can connect with the Crescent on the way home if we are very late (more than 3 hours, and less than 5.5 or so), but hoping to make it in on time to CVS (Crescent would be 3 hours or so later, would...

Good info - never knew this - thanks!

Makes sense - thanks!

The layout of the CL is:   Engine (2-3) Baggage Transdorm Sleeper (2) Diner Sightseer Coach (3-4)   What is a "transdorm"?

First trip on a superliner coming up - CL from WAS to CHI and back. What is the general car layout - how many coaches, sleepers, observation cars, diners, etc and in what order? (I am in a sleeper) Are there hours of operation for the observation cars? Are there observation cars for just...

#30 arrived about 4 hours late. Would have missed my scheduled connection but could have changed to a later train as long as it was not sold out. Still wondering exactly WHY they left CHI 4 hours late. Ready to enjoy my upcoming family trip to Chicago!

Would not waste the points on any seat-only upgrades - the difference in seats is not worth it, even on the Acela. Save them up for bedrooms or at the very least, outright Acela tickets (not upgrades). I used points last year for 5 people to go from DC to Boston on the Acela (in biz class, not...

True - don't have to worry about the bus, just the connection (not really that much of a worry, but with 3 kids nicer to get home when planned!) Only curious why the really later departure if anyone knows - haven't seen it leave this late in a while.
