    Question about Osceola IA / no baggage service

    Osceola, IA, says it has no baggage service. Will be traveling with a collapsible push wheelchair and maybe a roller/walker. How is this handled when the station has no baggage service? Traveling to/from Chicago. Would it be better to go in coach or a bedroom? Thanks.

    Miami station?

    What is the status of the Miami station move? I know they are planning to move it to the new airport intermodal center, but that was delayed due to poor planning for the length of the trains blocking a road. I just haven't been able to find a status update in a while. We just booked a roommette...

    Seated in the diner car ... for the duration of the trip ....

    Hello experts -- my sister boarded the Carolinian this morning with 7 others outside D.C. with a final destination of Charlotte; they were directed to sit in the lounge/cafe car because there are no other seats for them. I just texted her for an update and they still don't have proper coach...

    Do I wait or do I call?

    Last week husband and I did AKY-DYE round-trip and had to pay cash on the train each way since there are no ticketing machines at either station. We made reservations via phone and gave them our AGR numbers at the time. The conductor took our reservation number when he issued the ticket. Will...

    sitting on Cardinal, trees across tracks

    Good morning from the Cardinal. We're sitting in Crawfordsville, Ind., (according to my GPS) due to two trees across the tracks. Staff says one tree is substantial, so they don't want to nudge with the locomotive. We've been just creeping along, which they said was due to "bad signals,"...

    Penn Station NYC for mobility impaired

    Hello!! I'm helping a friend and her daughter plan travel to a NYC hospital for foot surgery. We've researched flying and taking the train, and they're leaning toward Amtrak for a variety of reasons. After surgery, she will need some sort of assistance, maybe a wheelchair. Is there somewhere...
