    Has the carryon baggage policy changed for roomettes?

    It used to be that you could bring an oversized bag or large instrument on to the CONO. But after reading Amtrak's baggage restrictions, it looks like there is now a size limit. "Each carry-on bag may not exceed 28" x 22" x 14" in size." Maybe this is the same as it's always been but I don't...

    City of New Orleans

    Anyone taken the City of New Orleans lately? My 18 y.o. son will be traveling between Chicago to NOLA over the next 4 years for college. He will also be traveling with his cello. There may be times he will get a roomette vs. coach. Does the CONO have a dining car? Is train travel fairly safe...
