Thanks for the info and reassurance. Looks like we will check our bags.

Thanks for the info. I guess we will find out if they have switched the consist when we get to Chicago.

If I check baggage in Toledo going to Salt Lake City will the bags be changed in Chicago when I change trains? Is the baggage handling overall pretty good and prompt so that when I reach Salt Lake City I can rest assured my bags will be there. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have never...

I know this has been asked before but it seems to change. Wife and I are riding round trip from Chi to SLC the last week of April. We are hoping the sleepers are on the rear of the train to avoid some engine noise. Thanks for the help.

Hopefully I will be able to track it and not leave my hotel in the middle of the night and then have to sit several hours in a cramped station. I understand that sometimes trains are late, but would like someway to not show up so early that I sit for hours.

I am catching the #6 in SLC going to Chi. When looking at the stats it has only been on time once in 30 days and has been very late the bulk of the time. We are leaving on April 27. Is this the normal state of affairs for the route and should we just plan on being in the station for awhile?

My wife and I are going on the Lake Shore Lmt from Toledo to Chicago. We the will take the California Zephyr to Salt Lake City. We both have slight mobility issues and could use help with baggage and boarding. How do we make sure and get someone to help with that while waiting in the lounge...

We have two carry on size bags on wheels that we plan to bring. One we plan to take to the room and the other we will put on the luggage shelf in the train. Thank you all for the very useful information.

We are traveling in a sleeper so we will check with Club Acela. Is it fairly obvious where it is and the process to use?

The Capitol Limited leaves DC at 4PM. We will be checking out of our hotel in the morning. Where can we leave bags at the station so we can do some wandering and what is the cost? Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere,

Thanks for the quick answers. This will be our first train ride and we are very much looking forward to it.

My wife and I are travelling from Toledo to Washington DC next week, We know we will have breakfast on board. The train arrives in DC at 1:00PM. Will we have lunch? If the train is late will they then feed us? I am also confused whether or not there is a dining car or something else for...

Sounds like we get an extra hour on the train. Sounds like fun.

My wife and I have tickets travelling from Washington DC to Toledo on Saturday November 5. The train arrives in Toledo at 5:08 AM Sunday.. Daylight saving time ends during the night meaning the clocks go back one hour. 5:08 AM is the normal arrival time for this train on a daily basis. Why...

My wife and I have two trips booked and have taken care to book them far enough in advance to get two roomettes across from one another. I can say that any attempt to change that will be met with a pretty strong disagreement. Do rooms booked and paid for like this get changed often?

My wife and I are leaving from Toledo in early November to Washington DC. We are driving 3 hours to the station. Is parking ever a problem at this station? Thanks for the help.

Trying to get something for nothing is not "old school".

I called and spoke to an agent today to make reservations for a round trip from Toledo to Salt Lake City for next April and she was able to work and get me the exact roomettes, including two across from one another, I wanted for each leg and also found a way to do it for slightly less than what...

So, it looks like we are going to go from Cincinnati to Salt Lake City and then spend a couple nights in a hotel. We haven't decided if we will just come back after that or if we want to continue on. We have a total of 8 days to work with.

Perhaps it would be best to describe ourselves a bit. We are in our early 60's and tend to be a bit sedentary (I walk with a cane). We enjoy being with one another and talking or just staring out windows or playing silly games on phone or tablet. We both like a good book. We figured riding a...
