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...

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...

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...

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...

I was just checking something at Amtrak.com and they have a new look. There are 2 prices listed for reserved coach seats on the LSL. I don't understand that. Maybe it is a mistake? $108 or $212 for 2 reserved coach seats Roc to ToL . And then a third column for 1 bedroom left. That costs...

At the recommendation of several posts here, we opened a second chase card account so we could get AGR points for me when we travel and take advantage of the bonus offered. Then I could use my points to travel and husband could use his. But there is a problem, First off, Is this allowed? Is...

This is not important but maybe someone knows. We have a new baby coming in a day or too and wanted to visit this week or next week but the prices form ROC to CHI have been skyrocketing and now they are sold out for days in a row. Plus, rooms in town are few and at a very high price. Is it like...

Hello fellow travelers. This has probably been discussed before but I need clarification, I read the recent zone rules and think it is a one zone reward between El PAso Tx and CHi. There are 2 choices generated on the Amtrak booking site. One is the Texas Eagle all the way and the other is...

Good morning. We have been using AGR for 2 years now and only travel once a year or maybe twice by train. We just got a summary with June's points. Could someone help with an explanation? MONTHLY SUMMARY Points posted to your account June 1 – 30, 2013...

I wanted to post this to thank all the members of this forum for the great information they supply. We could not have done this trip without your help. Due to time and finances we could not do everything everyone suggested, but what we manage to include was great. This trip used our year’s...

Driving to Santa Fe and taking the train back but not sure when. If we book seats on the SWC for the 12th of June and for some reason need to stay longer, can we reschedule the trip for a day or two later? Is there a penalty fee? I understand dif days equal dif prices. So we would be prepared to...

Hi! My daughter and friend are rounding up a bike trip. They are near the Fulton KY station. Can they take the bikes as luggage on the train from there to Roc NY (coach seats)? And if they can, how do they pack them? And is there an extra fee? The train seems to be the cheapest and easiest way...

We have used ERI as a deperture for the west before but cannot remember much about it. We are moving daughter to Santa Fe and returning by train. So we want to leave the car at ERI on the way out. Amtrak says there are 5 long term parking spots. I don't see a phone numbr to call and ask them...

Is there a place where each route marks the zone end? The map they show is not quite exact. Last trip out west, I thought Roc to Chi was one zone but learned it was Toledo where the zone changed. We used coach to Toledo and Roommette to grand Junction and reverse. This year we are moving my...

We have a trip planned to the 4 corners area in September. Rochester to Chicago, Chicago to Grand Junction, then reverse it home. We will pay the overnight to Chicago both ways. How do we use points for the rest of the trip? It is 2 zones from Chi to GJ. Can we use points for Chicago to...
