Then I hope to get Stephanie. I love being pampered. :)

I decided to call Amtrak. The agent stated that train 5 was canceled so they are running train 1005. It is the same train as 5 she said. She also stated that Amtrak said they were going to a new numbering system ( 4 digits) and I asked her if it was permanent but she did not know as Amtrak...

I just received a revised ticket from Amtrak for my trip from CHI to RNO. Originally my ticket stated I was on train #5 leaving at 2:00 p.m. and arriving at 8:36 a.m. on September 2, 2014. The revised ticket states I will now be on train #1005 with nothing else changed. Can someone please...

Mike, I will be on the CZ on August 31 which means we will arrive in Denver on September 1. I hope that means our train will be exempt from this delay. I have been checking the performance of the CZ and noted that when looking at Amtrak's train status they have changed the scheduled arrival...

Earlier today Amtrak Status maps showed 6 as a service disruption. I was checking their status this morning on Amtrak and saw the note of service disruption so I went to Amtrak Status maps which said the same. Why it is gone is beyond me.

Can someone please elaborate on the washout on train 5's route and does anyone know how long this washout will last? I am a bit concerned as I will be on the CZ next Sunday. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again to everyone. I really enjoyed reading all the responses and I loved the map.

Thanks for all the information. It is so appreciated. One more question, did New York Central have a name for the train that ran from Chicago to Detroit? Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for your replies.

Brian, Thanks but I do have a copy of the consist. I have ridden trains 58/59 and the consist has not always been as stated on that list. I was hoping someone recently rode the City of New Orleans and could let me know whether the sleeper was in front or back. Thanks,

Hi everyone, When I was a young girl between the ages of 5 to 12,(approximately 1955 to 1962) my mother would take my sister and me on a train ride from Chicago to Detroit to visit relatives. I do believe we left from LaSalle St. Station. What I would like to know is what train operator this...

Can someone please tell me the current consist of the City of New Orleans. I will be traveling next month in a sleeper. In the past I have experienced the sleeper both in the front (behind the transdorm) and as the last car. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, On Saturday, November 16, 2013 I got to Chicago's Union Station and waited in the Metropolitan lounge to board the California Zephyr to Reno. We boarded at 1:30 p.m. and left exactly at 2:00 p.m. My car attendant was Tony and he was fabulous. I had booked the handicap room as I...

First of all Amtrak allows all types of oxygen tanks, concentrators, liquid, etc. They just have a weight limit on the tanks. So, if you are going to use a concentrator that should be fine. Just remember, if you have not made your reservations yet you must call Amtrak and make them. They do...

Yes it is.

I have waited in the Memphis station many times for a few hours by myself and feel safe in the station. The police are very visible. I would not however, walk around the area by myself as I have been told by locals that the station is in a bad area. There is an Enterprise phone in the Amtrak...

Cooley, I always have my meals brought to my room as I am on oxygen and getting around is a bit difficult. When I make my reservations I let the agent know that I would like my meals in the room. It is noted on my record and the SCA is already aware before I even board the train. The SCA...

Thank you all for the wonderful tips.
