Sadly, my husband and I are no longer able to travel due to health issues. I still have 22,000 points. Any suggestions on how I can use these points? I know we can use them for restaurants , gift cards, etc., but they're worth so little, I hesitate to do so. I would like to take all of my...

We live in Lake Charles, LA. We're planning a trip to New York on the Crescent. We really don't want to spend the night in NOL, so we're thinking about driving to catch the Crescent in MS. Any suggestions on doing this and where to leave our car for a week. Also, does the Crescent roomette...

Does anyone have any idea when or where we will be able to catch our train? I know that SAS is the beginning/end for SL for now. We can't drive to San Antonio. Will we be charged the 25% cancellation fee if we cancel now? Thank you.

We're trying to decide which Eastern trains to ride Nov. 22-30. We have no specific destination (maybe WAS or NYP). We just like to ride and see the scenery. We are seniors. We will depart from LCH. It would be nice to see some Christmas decor and snow. Thank you.

Any suggestions on getting to the Ark Encounter if we ride the Cardinal? I assume we should detrain at Cininnati. We don't like to rent a car. Thank you.

Which are the best routes in October/November to see fall foliage? Cardinal, Capitol Ltd., Pennsylvanian, Crescent, Palmetto, or Silver Star/Meteor? We live in Louisiana. We have 1 week to travel. Thank you.

If I get off the Sunset Limited West at Maricopa, how can I get to Williams to see the Grand Canyon? Thank you.

We are scheduled to depart from Savannah to Washington on the Silver Meteor at 7:30 pm.  We have a room.  Will dinner be served after we board?  Thank you.

While plnning a round trip on the SL from LCH to TUS for next March, I noticed the price for a roomette from LCH to TUS was $454.00, while the bedroom was $1474.00. The return trip was $619.00 and $1107.00. I checked other dates with the same result. $1,020.00 extra for a 30 hour (1 night)...

9/19/18 Our trip started in Lake Charles, LA, on the SL coming from New Orleans. It was 2 hours late getting to LCH and the waiting room had no a/c. The crew made up the 2 hours by the time we arrived in San Antonio. Lisa, our room attendant and Hosea, our dining car attendant , were great...

Why are some of the Dining car attendants so rude and hostile? We rode the Coast Starlight North bound on Sept. 21 and the Southwest Chief West bound on Sept. 26. Both times the dining Car Attendants were rude and hostile. We also rode the Sunset Limited and the California Zephyr. Those...

We (2 seniors) are going to SJM in May. It's our first visit. I was happy to see the station was so close to our hotel(The Boulevard Inn) until I realized it's a fairly long climb up a steep bluff! It's at least 50 steps going up. This would be all right, but not with our luggage. It's a...

Has anyone had any experience riding from CHI to Holland or St. Joseph, MI? We would like to go in May , hopefully to see the tulips blooming. Any advice will be appreciated.

We want to go from Lake Charles to Chicago via the Texas Eagle round trip. We usually ride coach from LCH to SAS, but we will need a room on to CHI. Will we have to get off the train and sit in the SAS station from midnight to 7 am? What if we get a room from LCH to CHI?

We're thinking about riding the CZ this summer. We would really like to see Arches Park. Can we get transportation from Green River, etc? We're not hikers (we're seniors), so we're thinking of some kind of tour. Thank you.

We have an excursion trip (not a necessary one) planned for this month. LCH to LAX, LAX to SEA, SEA to CHI, CHI to LAX, LAX to LCH. The only time we will leave the train/stations is SEA and CHI, just to sleep and wait for our next train. We just want to make a western long distance ride...

We would like to take a train-riding only trip, with as few hotel lay-overs as possible. I would like some opinion/tips on my plan. Leave LCH on SL on a Wednesday at 1:55 pm Arrive LAX on a Friday at 5:35 am (hopefully) Depart LAX on CS same day at 10:10 am Arrive SEA Saturday 7:51 pm Get...

9-21 Since we were staying near BOS, we took a taxi to BON to catch the Downeaster to Portland. It was another pretty ride, arriving about noon. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Waterfront. It was very nice and had a shuttle and coin laundry and was within walking distance of...

I wanted to ride all three of these NE trains. We left LCH 9-15. Of course, we had to spend the night in NOL :( . On 9-16 we rode the Crescent to NYP. We stayed 9-17 at the Stewart Hotel across the street from the NYP station. Even from the 19th floor, NYC is very noisy. We rode the...
