    Midwest Venture discussion 2023 Q3 -2024

    Has the Pere Marquette changed to the new business class cars yet or is it still the old one with the cafe car? Thanks!

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    Yes I mean just who is this lounge meant for then? How many people actually are in sleeper cars? I know when I go in there at 9 am when my train arrives in CHI it is not crowded at all so why keep us out? My ticket for under 2 hour ride is $50 in BC, so for $100 round trip I think you could...

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    this is horrible! I have been a regular rider for nearly 20 years. I no longer go back and forth from Michigan like I used to but when I go to Chicago for appointments on a same day trip I count on that lounge to have a quiet(er) place to work. Totally sucks!

    Midwest Venture introduction

    The article about these leaves me underwhelmed sadly. Glad I'm not a regular rider anymore but still do occasionally take the Wolverine/Blue Water/Pere Marquette between MI and Chicago.

    Best business class seats

    Changes to Amtrak Midwest and additional Wolverine RT

    hey Tim, no, not really - just here and there...since COVID we've mostly stayed in Michigan with occasional trips into the city - sometimes driving, sometimes train. But being in a beach town (in MI) in summer is an easy choice! LOL!

    Changes to Amtrak Midwest and additional Wolverine RT

    yes I did know 352 is still there but at the moment I am not traveling weekly on it...I WILL be more often though starting in August so my August trip has now had to move to the 364 into NBU, several hours later, and with the delays the Michigan trains seem to keep having lately, that's no...

    Disobedience on Amtrak

    We stopped one time after there was a VERY drunk guy mouthing off non stop (years ago, not mask related)...conductors called ahead for police to be where they were going to stop. They got the drunk guy off the train and you could see out the window the police pulling out MULTIPLE MACHETES from...

    Covid Mask Mandate for Transportation

    Totally willing to keep wearing a mask while traveling until we have much more certainty around odds of infection. Too many people still crying about masks and things not opening up but not willing to wear the mask or get vaccinated. The sooner more do their part the sooner we get to where we...
