I found this on the Amtrak site. I hope this helps with some information on this thread.

I looked up the travel insurance Amtrak offered and it only covered me if ''' I ''' was unable to make it to the train. It was a good price, but nothing was covered if Amtrak cancelled.

I haven't gone to the Amtrak site yet so I am asking here. Does anyone know what the price of their travel insurance is for their trips? Does it depend on how much your ticket cost?? I have always gotten travel insurance for my cruises but never given a thought to getting it for my train trips. This thread has positively made me think I should be getting it. Thanks for any replies.
Looks like it's $17.00 per person no matter what. I do not think it's worth it, considering the constraints.

Personally neither do I. If there was a problem with say a connecting train, Amtrak will take care of it anyway. If you really want travel insurance for a high expense item, like a 2 week hotel stay or the flights get to reach the train, I would go with another company myself.
 
You're Credit Card or Insurance you already have may provide coverage during Travel, but for what Amtrak offers, as was said, I don't think it's worth it.

As,also was said, if you're doing an Expensive Trip ( in the Thousands,Non Cancelable Reservations etc) I'd look into Private Insurance with your Agent or Broker!
