Just thought those here, who might not have stumbled upon this CNN news story on their own, might want to read it. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/amtrak-crescent-new-orleans/index.html

I made a donation to the website using the yellow button at the top, but Paypal is showing it as a purchase of groceries from a placed called 7 Global Community Solutions. It wasn't much, but I just want to make sure my money actually went to AF.

I just got a telephone call for a survey from a company called WB&A Market Research from 607-330-5304. Usually, I politely but sternly say "no thanks" and hang up, but this one was for Amtrak. Being an Amtrak supporter, I figured I would play along. Well, one of the first questions asked, was...

I am not sure if such postings are allowed, or if this is the even appropriate area to put this. My apologies if not. I have two Acela Lounge passes that are set to expire at the end of this month (that's February 2009). I had thought of several things I could do with them, including...

I got yet another "spam" from AGR pushing their MasterCard. As I am sure many of you have seen, you get Bonus Points for successfully applying for their MasterCard. However, in the light-grey, really small print, at the bottom of the email, it mentions that only 1/2 of the bonus points being...

I took the NE Regional a few days ago, and about 1 mile out of Baltimore, the engine broke down leaving us stranded on the track. We had no power and therefore no A/C. The snackbar was also closed. I guess without power, they could not even hand out room temperature soda to BC. :D Anyway...

Amtrak's website mentions that there are Hertz rental counters located at over 50 of Amtrak's stations. Does anyone have a list of what those stations are? I checked both Amtrak.com and Hertz.com, and could not seem to find such a list. I believe Hertz has an exclusive. If there is actually...

I took the Vermonter up to VT and back, a few weeks ago. I just noticed that my return trip back from VT, plus the Spring Bonus points, were posted onto my AGR account two days ago. However, my trip up to VT, has not. Do they usually post trips in date-wise order? Should I be concerned that...

My recent Amtrak trip took me to White River Junction, VT, on the Vermonter. The Vermonter is scheduled to arrive at WRJ at 6:55pm, but is usually about an hour later than that. In preparing my trip, I called several car rental places in and around WRJ to inquire around renting a car when I...

I have been riding Amtrak for years, though mostly heading south. However, for the first time, I headed north, and with that, took the Vermonter. I have always taken a sleeper car, but with the Vermonter being a "day" train, the best we could do, was Business Class. Here are some of the...

We have always taken overnight trains, and therefore always had checked luggage. We are taking our first "day" trip on Amtrak, the Vermonter, and note it says that there is no checked luggage, only carry on. Now, we are still going for a week trip in VT, and therefore, really would still like...

I have been traveling Amtrak for years. However, I have always taken overnight trains and had a "sleeper". Because of that, I have always had access to the Club Acela for me and my family. Now, for the first time, we are taking a day-only train; the Vermonter (making for a rather LONG day)...
