    Cap Ltd to Acela transfer - luggage size?

    APD is all over PVD but they don't care about your luggage. Are you on FC on Acela? I wouldn't worry about it.

    Breakfast. How do you screw up breakfast?

    I order steaks and burgers "rare plus" and I got a steak on the California Zephyr that was blue and spectacular. Excellent crew that time!!

    And here we go...

    Reducing legroom and pitch on the NEC would be a major deterrent for me. I think the coach cars are tight as is. However adding an armrest would be nice!!! I don't see how a third seat would fit.

    Survey: Tipping on Amtrak

    Really wish Acela 1st class attendants were included as their own group. I'm still unclear why they were left out.

    Pets vs Service animals

    Regardless, that's not what the ASPCA does nor is it really in the scope of their mission.

    Where will the first class car be on my Acela Express journey?

    they removed the position signs in PVD. Unclear why - we used to have A, B, C, D, E etc. The agents at the ticket window in PVD are very friendly and will tell you. I hope you enjoy your visit to Rhode Island!!

    Daylight Saving Time

    i agree. If we have to do away with the switch, I would rather live on standard time. Sunrise would be like 8 am in December on daylight savings time.

    Northeast Snowstorm

    The winds are something to be concerned about with trees and the catenary etc.
