I was sent a survey by Amtrak. My submission should throw some flags or will get tossed out :hi:

I guess this is the disappointment thread of the month? Mine was last month's whine thread =) I also did the LSL/CZ. Sounds like they got the same crew I did? http://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.php?/topic/67225-first-timer-not-impressed-with-amtrak/

I'm a handful of miles from Niles Canyon. Video here too: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Commuter-train-derails-in-Niles-Canyon-6876223.php

How about hospital socks with the grippy things on the bottom?

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Train-slams-into-stalled-RV-in-Berkeley-driver-6869557.php The driver of an RV was seriously injured in the aftermath of a collision with an Amtrak train in Berkeley Thursday evening, transportation officials said. An Amtrak train struck a stalled RV on...

Is Tom the fellow that does the luggage hold? I only seen male worker when I was there last Wed.

I've never stayed in a youth hostel, but I think the Roomette was the closes thing to it. A meal at Chipotle will beat out any dish served on the train. So maybe $25/night for a comparable experience.

Sure, blame the victim here.

Night 2 after getting off the train, I awoke at 4am and thought I was still on the train. I sat up and my head felt as I was still rocking back and forth and I could hear the sounds of the train ride in my head. Day 3, I'm still a little worn from the traveling. Don't know if it was from my week...

Pack a lint roller too, it comes in handy for all the hairs on the chair, bed sheet and blankets. I'm the original bellyacher here, I felt as if the staff were treating people as car and room numbers, not going above of what they are expected from HQ or HR. They didn't feel very approachable...

I did a long haul from NY to SF, with a change in trains in Chicago. Lake Shore Limited and California Zephyr. I had a roomette for both legs. I felt the service staff to be average, not as polished as the airlines. The airlines run a tight ship while I felt the Amtrak staff to be like the...

Thanks for the replies, I thought I was getting sick but it seems like its the norm. I'm glad I took my train trip home from NY to SF instead of first. But I actually think I might be coming down with something. I heard a lot of people coughing on board and one lady seated next to me during a...

Is this feeling normal after getting off a long train ride? I've been off the train for about 3 hours now and I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth.

Glad I didn't use the blankets in the sealed bags last night, I figured they weren't washed. I'm going to purchase the coach class comfort kit with a small blanket for my sleeper unit for the use of 2 more nights. I also found a lot of different colored hair on the folding mattress pad sheet...

I want to pick up a few Amtrak souvenirs for my NY > CA trip, Lake Shore Limited & California Zephyr. Anything to look out for while at the gift shops or buy on board?

Ok got it, fresh fruits, carrot sticks, cheese, crackers and a box wine to share with everyone ^_^

Hi gang! I'm a first time rail rider and I'll be doing the Lake Shore Limited from New York (NYP) and CA Zephyr (CHI) back to back next week. I'm heading home to the SF Bay Area. I will have a sleeper car with included meals but I would like to bring along some foods from NY and Chicago while...
