    Charleston, West Virginia

    NOT the one in South Carolina, for the record of course lol! Anyway I was thinking down the road, I may do a trip to Charleston via the Cardinal. Have visited here a few times in the past on road trips, but have never taken a trip here via Amtrak before myself. And like my other past threads...

    Lafayette, Louisiana

    Has anyone ever stopped in this smaller city, or knew someone who lived in this city for a while, or heck even stopped in Lafayette briefly on a roadtrip? And if they ever spent any time here, can mention anything they really liked about this city? It looks like it'd probably be an alright...

    Chicago to Glacier National Park Empire Builder trip, June-July 2019

    Slightly late that I am finally posting this here(as I posted about the Cardinal quicker), but better late than never I guess. Anyway I had been quietly debating in my head as far back as 2018 doing a trip out to Glacier National Park, and this year when I realized that shuttle service was...

    favorite scenery on Amtrak usually passed through night,that you saw day due hours long train delay?

    Basically, I'm asking here about your favorite scenery you ever saw on an Amtrak train, thanks to a train being hours and hours late. And as a result, that your train was hours and hours late and allowed you to see scenery usually one doesn't get to see, due to the fact the regular schedule(IF a...

    besides Milwaukee and Pittsburgh, which stations often have private train cars parked there?

    I always like looking at those cars, and for whatever reason I've often noticed private railcars parked to the side of the main platform. Thanks, to anyone who can respond. As I enjoy looking at those private railcars when going by, whenever I notice one parked at some Amtrak station. Also when...

    Minot, ND

    Probably a shot in the dark that we'll get lucky, and that anyone posts with a lot of insider info they personally know about Minot. Beyond what I've looked up of this town, as of this year myself outta curiosity. To me it seems like the more I research Minot, the more that one day perhaps I'd...

    Cardinal Trip Report

    A week ago, I rode one way eastbound on the #50 Cardinal from Chicago to Culpeper, VA. That was the first time ever riding that route of Amtrak, and aside from too much food running out in the cafe car (thank goodness I brought my own snacks onto that train), it was a great experience! Like...

    Amtrak to Glacier National Park and Red Bus questions

    I am concerned I read some reviews(from I think Tripadvisor) you don't get a lot of time off of that bus, to look around. If I were to stay in the area near East Glacier Park, are there any shuttles to get up to Going to the Sun Road from the local motels/hotels? Or do you have to head up to St...

    Questions about a 15 day/8 segment USA Rail Pass

    No timetable on doing such a trip, but I thought doing one heading west from Chicago would be a fun way to see so much of the western half of the US that I've never seen before. Anyway my thought was taking the Southwest Chief west from Chicago to LA, possibly going from LA to San Diego and back...
