We returned from Florida on the auto train to lorton from Sanford on friday may4 arriving sat may 5 2011. On the way driving home both of us experienced what we thought were mosquito bites. my husbands were on his arm and mine on my back. they were very very itchy and swelled up and were very red with small blister like heads on them. a lightbulb went off in my head so I looked up pictures of bed bug bites and sure enough there were many photos of the bites. certainly I can't say for sure that these were bedbug bites but I have a very very strong feeling after seeing the photos that that is what happened to us. Previos to this time we were staying in a place in Florida and had no problems whatsoever with bites or bugs. Funny that we both experienced the same thing at the same time. We had a couchette on the train. I know that there is a problem with bbs all the u.s. But I never expected to have this problem. We called customer service and were told we may get a reply but it's not guaranteed that we would. I almost feel more upset about this than getting the bites because I feel that the problem has to be addressed by amtrac and as a customer I want to know specifically what they are doing and what they plan to do about this in the future. I wNt to travel this way again but am very fearful about it. I certainly don't want to. Ring these into my clean home they are a nuisance to get rid of and very costly. I realize that it's a big problem for amtrac but they need to address it immediately with more response slitty to the passengers.Planning a trip west on the CZ to California, and south to Miami via Chicago and Washington, DC. Any updates on the bedbug situation? I am not aware of any problems but would like member insight.
