My sister’s collegiate athletic team is competing in Ocean City, Md., on February 22-23, and in Elmira, N.Y., on March 7, and I’m looking at going to one or the other from Providence, R.I. I’ve looked at what Google, Transit, Greyhound, and Amtrak have suggested, and both destinations seem to...

I’m traveling to NYC next week for a brief overnight trip, and I have plans during the Airbnb’s check-in period. I know Chicago Union Station offers/offered luggage storage lockers to the public (other than the Met Lounge service). Does Penn Station or Grand Central offer a similar service?

I’m new to transit in the Northeast, and I’m planning a trip on Feb. 22 from Hartford to New York. I’m considering two itineraries. No. 1 is CTrail 475, 4:29 p.m. HFD – 5:18 p.m. NHV, transferring to MNRR, 5:45 p.m. NHV – 7:45 p.m. GCT. No. 2 is CTrail 475, 4:29 p.m. HFD – 5:18 p.m. NHV...

Looks like Texas Eagle No. 21 lost 2 hours between STL and Arcadia, Mo., and 5 1/2 hours between Walnut Ridge, Ark., and Little Rock. Any word on the cause? A friend of mine, who has taken trains overseas but has traveled Amtrak seldom, took the Flyer to FTW today en route to Austin and is...

http://www.news9.com/story/39054538/passenger-train-collides-with-truck-in-se-okc The Flyer must have suffered minimal damage, because it was only 56 minutes late into Norman and 50 minutes late into Purcell and Pauls Valley. It departed OKC on time at 8:27 a.m.For your dose of local police and...

Got a call today that 50(7) has a service disruption CHI-CIN (at least). I knew about some disruptions in W.Va., but didn’t know CHI-CIN was affected. No info on the Amtrak app. Anyone have information about this?

I’ve been checking fares GRR-FTW in mid-August and have found the BC fare $9 cheaper than coach (BC on the Pere Marquette, coach on the Texas Eagle.) When I select BC and modify the Pere Marquette accommodation from BC to coach, the resulting coach-coach fare is $26 cheaper than the one...

A fantasy map that I created with Google's "My Maps" feature: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mG7qUYWv3N0KaiiQpUnsCNmJJ3Y_We_n&usp=sharing The Oklahoma City metropolitan area is booming. At 1.4 million people, the region's population could reach 2 million by 2038. Streetcars and three local...

I’m in Providence doing contract work until the end of the month and considering a day trip to Boston on a Sunday or Monday. I’m not sure if I should hop on a Northeast Regional or take the T. I’m wondering what advice you guys might have. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

I booked GRR-CHI (Value fare) and CHI-CIN (BC) on one reservation for early June. Just my luck, Amtrak has a Saver fare sale this week. Is it possible to modify the reservation so that the first leg is a Saver fare? The only other way I can think of is canceling the first leg and booking it...

I have an internship in Cincinnati this summer and plan to take 371/50 on June 7. I would carry on an airline style checked bag, a rollerboard, and a backpack. I’ll probably book coach, but I’m considering upgrading to BC on either segment. Here are my questions: 1. I’ve never ridden on an...

I'm flying into DAL (Love Field) tomorrow evening, and my contact has notified me that they'd prefer that I take Uber/Lyft to meet them in Fort Worth. I'd rather take DART/TRE, since I'm sure it will be cheaper and I enjoy taking public transit. (I have previous experience with both services.) I...

Train 822 was over 3 hours late into OKC on its Sunday 12/31 run. The Amtrak app tracking status for yesterday and today say "Service Disruption." Anyone know what's causing it? Hope to take 822 back to school next weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum

A day after Roanoke gained intercity rail, it lost much of its coach and trolley history. https://www.wsls.com/news/virginia/roanoke/breaking-two-alarm-fire-destroys-roanoke-museum ... Has anyone on here visited the museum? What was it like?

I've enjoyed reading updates on this forum relevant to the service restoration to Roanoke, openings of several rebuilt stations, incremental release of new Viewliner II Diners, Ready-to-Build Campaign, and announced improvements to CUS and NYP. With so many developments, I find it difficult to...

I plan to take Trinity Railway Express and DART in a couple of weeks. TRE's website says a Regional Day Pass enables unlimited rides on the T, TRE, and DART. They can be purchased at a ticket vending machine. I'll board the TRE either at T&P station or the Intermodal Transit Center. The website...

I have a choice this December between flying DEN-GRR or taking the No. 6 CZ/No. 370 Pere Marquette. I've never taken the Zephyr, but I know it's prone to delays. If all were to run on time, I'd have 3 hours between trains in CHI. What's the CZ's OTP been like in Decembers past? Is that enough...

I didn't see a thread dedicated to the QLine, so I thought I'd open a discussion. (Mods, please move this post to the appropriate thread if necessary.) I've yet to try the QLine, but I hope I'll have time when I visit Detroit in early August. From what I've read in articles and comment...
