We don't, we used that as our stopping point to get a rental car and then headed on to Lake Tahoe and then Yosemite before driving up the coast of Oregon. Make sure in Sacramento to catch the shuttle ride from the train to the station as it is a very long walk from where they let you off. Plan...

The menu is the old one. Dinner was a pasta dish, the steak, the fish and one other thing I believe. Lunch was a burger and a couple other choices. Bfast was omlet and french toast and a couple other items. Food was all very well done and tasty.

Back on June 3 I along with my sister took the California Zephyr from Chicago to Sacramento. We each had our own roomette on the car closest to the dinning car. This was our first time traveling this way and I thought I would share my thoughts on this trip. *The staff could not have been more...

Then can i assume that rooms 7-8 would be real close as the rooms 1 and 2 would be the closest to the engine?

Per our ticket for our coming zephyr trip we are in car 531. Is there anyway to know which car that will be in the line?

I know it's pretty common for amtrak to run behind on most lines especially those have chicago to the west. My question is there a website that tracks and explains what has caused a delay?

With taking the Zephyr in a few weeks woth my sister we will each have our own roomette. How does the tipping work for the person working our car? When do you leave the tip...where do you leave it and how do you know how much?

We will be taking the zephyer on two weeks. I have seen there is usually 8 cars with that train. You have the two engines and luggage car and sleeper cars and dining car an observation car and then coach cars. So what is the order of the cars after the engine and luggage cars?

How do you tell which car to board?

My sister and myself will be taking an upcoming Zephyr from chicago to sacramento. According to the website our train is "sold out" which I guess is a good thing and shows folks are traveling. I have printed out the email that amtrak sent us when I purchased our tickets (2 roomettes). I was...

I saw those but wondered if they could hold something and not fall off with all the jerking a train does.

Those are good ideas. We have a month to figure out best option. I am going to look and see what is out there as my sister will have both hot and cold drinks plus the bottle waters and ill just have cold drinks in our mugs throughout the trip.

In june we are taking the zephyr and will have a roommate. I have seen the cup holders in those are poor. My question is if i brought my own with it being the type that hangs on your car door would it work in a roommete in front of the tray. Is there space to slide the holder between the tray...

Well I survived boarding in 3 states. The boarding in NJ was by far the fastest and easiest. The boarding in PGH was okay except you had no say where you sat and I was stuck in the upper deck of the superliner which I did not like. In Chicago, whomever thought having the Cardinal leave out at...

Oh and the bathrooms on the superliner were alot smaller then the ones on the PENN/Cardinal trains I took. I am a big guy and fit in those without issues, not so well in the superliner car. Also on the Superliner they came on the speaker at 8am saying bfast service was now over...not once did...

My suitcase wasn't that big, it coulnd't be as I flew out and to use it as carry on it can't be. I would have loved to have left it down in the lower section but there was no room, I had no option as did no one else getting on in Pittsburgh that night. For me a sleeper wasn't an option as it...

Well I can now say I have ridden Amtrak. Overall my experience would rate a B- overall. 2 out of the three sections of my trip went pretty well, it was just the middle overnight part that really put a crimp in the whole trip. I was not impressed with the "superliner" I rode from Pittsburgh to...

I have read a couple of threads here about issues with boarding and such, and I will be taking my first amtrak train next week. I will catch the PENN train in Trenton heading to PGH. It is scheduled at 11:44am. What time should I be at the station? Once there how are passangers allowed to...

From it's website and the glowing remarks on YELP and from folks here I am looking forward to trying it, now just hoping the CL gets in around it's scheduled time and I can find an empty locker.

The plan is if the train gets in on time, to grab some breakfast (leaning towards Lou's now), then walking down and catching the Red Line out to Wriggly hoping to get there around 11amish. The tour takes about 90 minutes which means I would finish up maybe around 1pm depending on which tour...
