@Me_little_me Thanks for the tip. I actually paid 170 for a cross country ticket (From Arizona to NY) so I think I got a good price. However, I will keep that site in mind for the future. I've been wanting to get a room on the train for some time but just haven't had the funds. Also - I joined...

I plan on it :) I doubt I'll have much wifi on the train, but I will do a write up of it after I get to a stable location. I have one question for which I don't see the answer: Are the any showers for the plebes in Coach on a train? If not, what are the best ways to keep clean? I'll be on...

I am looking to do that in NY. I want to go up and down the East Coast since I've (for the most part) always lived on the West Coast.

I don't think I've ever had a trip that didn't have some kind of trouble. Heck, when I was a kid my family and I were driving cross country. We slept in the car and I took my shoes off and my grandma decided to put them in the trashcan until the morning. (Because of room, you see.) Well, the...

Hey there, Greatcats. I'm from Arizona as well, though farther south. (Around the Casa Grande region.) Personally, I think Train travel has to be looked at as an adventure. There are faster ways to travel and often more comfortable ways. Both of the train trips I've been on have had some...

Thanks! I'll be on the train for 3 days or so,with a stop over in Chicago I believe. Never been to Chicago, so it should be interesting...

Heh yeah well, I haven't even made 10 to 15 grand a year in the last few years much less spent that much. I'm heading to NY and getting a job up there, so maybe I"ll look into getting one of the cards after that. Thank you for the info but I know I won't be getting those points by the time the...

Hah, yah. I'm just part of the great unwashed group of plebes back in coach ;) I understand you want what you pay for, but sometimes you just gotta sit back and enjoy the ride. Anyway - here's to hoping things turn around for ya. *Lifts up a pint then quaffs it*

I am the ticketed passenger. They asked my friend for my AGR number, but I didn't have it at the time and the Amtrak rep said I could put it on later. I shall give them a call and add it. I'm glad the AGR stuff is so simple and easy to understand, hah. Thanks for all the info!

Hey, thanks. I looked for those but didn't see them. My only excuse is it was like 4 am when I posted, hah. Ah well.

Hi! I just found this forum. I've ridden Amtrak two times and will be riding it again for the third in November. I bought a seat going from the Maricopa station in Arizona to a station in Buffalo, New York. I'm curious for all of you that are veterans at train travel if you have any tips or...

You know, I am new to this forum but I had some thoughts on this post. The first is that I love train travel, not Amtrak specifically. I take Amtrak because that is the main way to ride the train in this country. It there were other options, I'd look into them but there really isn't. The...

I've read up a little on this and have signed up for the site. After I did, I got the email saying it is going to change next year. Yet, I'm still unsure about the current program. Basically I'm taking a trip from Arizona to New York. A friend bought me the ticket so can I add that ticket to...

HI all ya'll! Just found this website while looking for tips on traveling via Amtrak. I'm about to take my third trip on Amtrak (Second in three years) in about six weeks. I'm heading from Maricopa, Arizona to Buffalo, New York, so it'll be quite a trip. So - Who am I? I"m a 39 year old...
