I have an "electronic Transportation Voucher" for $200 as compensation for a really late train. Now that I try to use it, I see it has some rather extreme restrictions. Any tips on getting around this? I don't normally take long-distance/sleeper trips. I was planning on using it for a few...

I know business class passengers are entitled to use the Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago, and I frequently do so. But here's my question: I frequently take day trips to Chicago on the Illinois Service. If I arrive in the morning on business class from STL, then depart on coach that evening...

Greetings, I've traveled quite a few times on AGR points and dealt with lateness, but I've yet to have to deal with a missed connection from an LD train. So with that in mind, I've got a couple trips coming up this summer where I transfer from an LD train to a St. Louis-bound train (both in...

I'm going to be driving from Tulsa to Kansas City to begin a weeklong Amtrak trip and I'm wondering about parking. I believe it's $10/day at Union Station. Are there any garages within walking distance that will provide a better rate? I'll be retrieving my car late in the evening, if that's any...
