I am well aware of my options to take care of the issue. (It's a revenue ticket.) This is not the first time that this issue has happened to me. In the past, it has been my experience that Amtrak has taken care of irregular operations and downgrades long before I knew what was happening. I...

I was booked in 449 SPG-ALB in business "connecting" to 49 in a sleeperette in September. Other than a red dot showing up on the app when I look at the rez, I have yet to be contacted by Amtrak. I don't call it an involuntary downgrade yet, because I don't know if I have even been rebooked for...

I wish I would have seen this post earlier. I've done the same connection you have a couple of years ago. And I used to live in Chicago for a dozen years prior to doing it. I took LSL last month from Chicago home to Springfield MA. I was totally shocked that nothing in Union Station was open...

I was on the Lake Shore Limited 26Oct in a sleeperette. Definitely more pillows and blankets. I slept really well.

I was in Union Station/Chicago on 26Oct. I took the Lake Shore Limited home. The only two places that were open in the station at 8p were the bar and McDonalds. The second floor of the Metropolitan Club was closed, too. They only staff the bar there until 5p. The Walgreens on the other side...

I always wondered why AMTRAK insisted on conference table seating on the Acela. I read somewhere that people on the Acela in first class didn't like assigned seating since they couldn't secure the conference tables. I guess it's true. Boarded at NHV today and had the conference table to...

I don't know the answer to your question LookingGlassTie. There is so much different lingo going on for rolling stock. I wish Amtrak would publish their own seat maps with statistics. I think I have been in just about every rolling stock possible at this point. And no seat on Amtrak has...

From amtrak.com https://www.amtrak.com/first-class-seat I prefer sitting forward. How do I predict which direction my seat is facing? The Acela First class car is always either the first or the last car on the six-car train and is configured with both forward- and rear-facing seats. Some of the...

There is an armrest between you. At least the last LSL train I was on. I believe they still use the same rolling stock. And you get Metropolitan Lounge access in Chicago if that's your origin or destination.

When I took Acela in F earlier this year, the seat assignment worked great. There is information on the website on which seats are always facing forward (and never been not been facing forward on an NE Regional train in coach or biz). And you could change your seat up until the last moment on...

Biz class seating on the LSL is 1-2, part of the cafe car. Legroom and recline are better than coach. And the first alcoholic drink is complimentary, if that makes you more comfortable.
