So, does anyone know if the Eagle will finally get it's SSL back?

Just wanted to confirm if the Southwest Chief #4 departing Los Angeles at 5:55PM still offers dinner just after departure or not? Are dinner times later, or is it staggered somewhat because of the near 6pm departure from L.A., CAL? Usually the first seating is 5pm'ish typically I believe but I...

Just as the headline reads: I was hoping that by some miracle my trip from Maricopa back to Boston on #422 by Dec 15, would have traditional dining returned but nothing yet. Not going to hold my breath about it either but it is rather sad in a way. I can sort of understand keeping the...

Here, Here on the request for Amtrak to please bring back traditional dining to the Texas Eagle between Chicago and San Antonio. Oh, and a Sightseer Lounge car would be a welcomed addition to. But, diner first please!

Thank you for the replies and the suggestions folks. Has there been any talk as to when, or if, the diner will return to #421 eventually, this year maybe...this decade even? 🤣 I will not even wish for a return of the Sightseer Lounge... Thanks!

My sincerest apologies if this question has been answered in another post somewhere but... To clarify, does the Texas Eagle #421#422 operate either with a dining car offering traditional dining, and/or a sightseer lounge car?? We intend to either be out of Maricopa heading north on #422 OR...

So, can anyone provide me with some helpful advice on if it is even remotely possible to try and snag a low bucket on #6 and #448 for mid-December between Reno and Boston? Alternatively, we are just trying to look for a room between Chicago and Albany-Rensselaer and then just do coach between...

Can anyone post or repost the bucket fares once again for the Zephyr eastbound? Or direct me to which post # it was? Thanks!

Why so expensive Amtrak? And Amtrak, you are not helping with inflation and so forth. Dumb questions, I know, I know

I'll add my .02, Looking at the CZ #6 in December from Reno to Chicago in a bedroom. Already starting them at $2239 at last look. Wowww...We will probably fly back. 😔

Funny, I just checked and now it says that 3/29 bedroom is $1176. They don't last long at all...

Welcome to the United States justice system. Where, most of the time, money talks and...well, you know the rest. I suppose that they should have dropped the charges on the bus driver who fell asleep at the wheel from gambling all night at Foxwoods who flipped the bus early in the morning doing...

Just took a look at #6 out of Reno to Chicago for December for a bedroom. All high bucket fares at $2239. Roomettes are flexible but bedroom are mostly high bucket firm. Even upcoming departures next week are all high bucket. My guess is if they can get away with selling them at high bucket...

Example: Checked #6 between Emeryville and Chicago for Tuesday. Bedroom is $2,485 or so. They haven't dropped it. Not yet anyways. I doubt they will either.

I understand what you are saying. But have you ever checked out the bedroom prices on the day of or on a next day departure say on the Zephyr or the Builder? I have, just out of curiosity and lately for the dates that I had looked at, they were all that high bucket fare.

I see. Interesting. One could argue that they are just trying to maximize profits especially after the pandemic. But, the savvy Amtraker who knows about low buckets and high buckets will still try and search for the best fares.

So, is there no rhyme or reason on how to find out what the low bucket fares actually are, or when they are going to be offered? IF they are going to be offered? It may have been mentioned previously and my apologies if it has but I thought that in years past, it was based on supply and demand...

Nuts. My guess is it's COVID possibly but also it is just Amtrak's way of trying to recoup what they lost when they went to tri-weekly service.

Looking at booking a post cruise trip home across the country from Seattle to Boston in June of 2022. What is going on with Amtrak!? By that, I mean, Amtrak used to preach about booking early! We used to hear 'You better book early for the best fares!' That is entirely false when, looking now, a...

As far as the LSL goes, I understand that some westbound pax who arrive into Albany either from NYC or Boston are jumping off and grabbing something at a few of the local restaurants for a takeout type dinner in Albany before continuing to Chicago. That is what I would do myself. Makes sense if...
