What can one do with an upgrade coupon?

Al meals on the menu are included with the sleeper price. The cheapest to the most expensive. I like the Continental as I can eat the oatmeal and fruit and take the yogurt and roll for snack. :) I am sure you could ask to pay for an extra side of bacon. Coffee should be available in your car...

Thanks. Good advice. Station usually does not answer phone, but I will call the bus people. Yeah, They are completely rebuilding it! I did not think it was all that bad, but new seats will be nice. :) Thanks for the links!

Roc is our "home" station and we live 2 hours south of there. To leave at 11:00 pm ( or later it always seems now) we would not ask anyone to drop us off and have to take a a 2 hours ride back down alone that late at night. We have never had a problem parking there and leaving the car for as...

Hi, Not sure about other stations, But the Lamy NM station has an attendant there all day even though the train arrives and departs both E and W in the mid afternoon.

JM Hudson, how do i let Amtrak know about the good service on board? And Railroad Bill , It was scary! LOL. This is the first time it has happened. I was not even aware of it until I saw the train moving and the empty luggage cart coming back. When called to the station agent that we did not...

Husband and I left our northern Pa home around 8 pm to drive north to Rochester NY - Our local Amtrak Station on Monday, Feb 10. We were off the visit daughters in warm and sunny Santa Fe. We had planned this trip for March but the winter has been so snowy and cold that we remembered we were...

Thanks. I see that the train 449 late.

Roc to CHi on the LSL and then SWC to Lamy. We see that both these trains have been leaving and arriving late. Is it just the weather? And maybe they will be on time? or is it always like this in winter? I will watch the status maps for late arriving in ROC ( we have a 2 hour ride to get to the...

Great! Thanks so much.

Is Trenton NJ in the Northeast zone? We usually ride from Rochester to Lamy but we will be in NJ just before the next trip. If we get on at Trenton is that still a 2 zone trip. TRE to CHI / Chi to LAMY? If it is 3 zones, and we want to pay cash for a ticket form TRE to the NER zone end, does...

But where is it being discussed?

Have a great trip! And don't think the duct tape is a crazy idea. I had seen this recommended before and forgotten about it. Our last trip had a (very small) closet door in the roomette that was shut, but not quite and rattled all night long. We finally put our shoes in there , one on top of...

As I understand form other postings, the government runs Amtrak because no one else wanted to do it? I don't understand that at all. I have just discovered train travel in the last 5 years mainly because I never traveled much and never lived close to a station. I grew up in Philly and used...

I had delicious French toast on the east bound SC out of Lamy. And the steak was good too. the best lunch offer is there angus burger and veggie burger. Using AGR points of course. In coach we use the Snack bar for breakfast and diner for lunch and dinner.

Our experience is that the LSL is a crowded train. Have never seen an empty seat. Often we do not get to sit together. They announce breakfast and the cafe opens early. We usually do coach so we are ready for coffee.

Thanks Tomfuller. I took that bus once from Easton to Mansfield. Not too bad, and cheaper than driving. Maybe someday they put the trains back and have them all over. Maybe they could make them solar powered.

This is a little off topic, but as Pennsylvanian fairly new to train travel I would like to ask if there were ever trains going north and south in the area? I know there is a station in Altoona, and Rochester to the north and then Cumberland to the south but nothing In between.(Locals tell us...

Not sure if anyone saw this or not or would be interested but I thought I would post it anyway, Elmira is a local town for me. CAF USA's New Amtrak Trains Amtrak CEO visits Elmira Heights Company and talks about more jobs coming. Thursday, October 24, 2013 A local manufacturer shows off one of...

Thanks! Looking forward to it. And all packed too!
