400% markup does seem a little steep - but I suppose it is in line with ballparks, bowling alleys, and other places that don't even let you bring your own food with you. At least that is still an option for some.

What a great topic - and an enlightening thread for sure. I certainly empathize with anyone stuck with a bad table mate, but I've only had one or two experiences that would even qualify as unpleasant. JayPea,you may have just been the unlucky recipient of a poor soul who feels defeated by life...

Not much to add to this topic other than to say that whenever I take a trip my reaction is either, "This is the last time I'm ever wasting my time and effort on Amtrak again," to, "I can't wait for the next trip." But that being said, no matter my initial reaction I'm always getting back on at...

I can't say that I ever remember a problem with having ice available. I hope that doesn't jinx things now....

I can't speak definitively about how 30th St Station, but offer my prayers to anyone venturing into town. Luckily, I do not create as much fervor whenever I visit the city of Brotherly Love :mellow:

Thanks Acela!!

Alan, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get tickets. I'm not navigating the website very well. Can you give me advice? Dave

We take my brother's SUV every year on the AutoTrain. It has no trunk as well. We've never had any problems. I do take my laptop, cell-phone and stuff like that with me.

Happy Anniversary! I hope you have a great trip!

I'm supposed to get "incapacity leave" beginning the middle of May, so any day will work for me. We go to Strasburg about every other year and never lose interest in it.

Greetings Friends, Glad to finally be back on the board. I had an unexpected 21 day hospital stay and got home this afternoon. Now to try to read all the posts from 3 weeks :help:
