Hello, I am attempting to book a trip BOS-NYP-ATL. BOS-NYP on Acela and NYP-ATL on the Crescent with a roomette. When i attempt to book the trip using my NARP discount it disallows the discount (rightfully so) on the Acela portion. Yet it does not apply the discount to the rail fare of the...

Hello, Amtrak app version 1.6 is out today. Three updates including better station information with map integration, along with recently selected stations for a quicker look up. My favorite update is the ability to swap the to and from origination and destination when searching for...

Hi, I am not sure where to post this one but here you go. I had to take the Downeaster last month a couple of times and on the way back to BON I treated myself to beers from Shipyard in the cafe car. (Shipyard Export to be exact... YUM!!!). At any rate, I used my Amtrak Chase card to pay for...

Hi,

Hello, I know what all the benefits of Select status are, I am wondering if it is worth me doing a points run to make the 560 points needed on Acela and a regional to get to that Select status. Just wondering what people thoughts were on the benefits of Selector should I just shoot for Select...

Hlello, I'm trying to book a Roomette on the Crescent Nov 15 ATL-NYP connecting to BOS. AGR is telling me there are no rooms available to book using points, yet there is one Roomette left to purchase at full bucket on the website. Is this correct that only a certain quantity of Roomettes are...

Hello, Along with being an aficionado of railroads, I am a bit of a weather nut and have been following the different models and forums in regard to Sandy in the Carribean and its possible impacts to the Mid-Atlantic and New England. I have my first long distant trip from BOS-NYP-ATL-NYP-BOS...

Hello everyone, I am currently booking a trip in a roomette from BOS-CHI on the Lake Shore Limited (LSL) and have three options presented to me depending on the day that I leave. I was curious as to your experiences and with which routing should be best. (these are the prices for just the...

Hello, I just booked two tickets on the Amtrak website using points and received the usual email confirmation and then an email with the bar code. Seems odd to receive two emails when one could be sent with all the information. At any rate, the surprising bit was when I logged onto the APP on...

Hello, I was curious with the Select Plus benefit of United Club access, does one have to be holding a United ticket along with the Select Plus card? In other words, if you are Select Plus card holder but flying another airline (not UA) do you still have access to their lounge while waiting for...

Hello, I was wondering something.... I have enough points to book a one zone roomette. I am planning on traveling BOS-ATL via the NE Regiona to NYP and the The Crescent to ATL. My question is .... if I used points for a roomette does that include the BOS-NYP in coach or do I have to use more...

Hi, The sleepers on The Crescent are either sold out (I know due to Easter and Spring break) or only with a limited number of roomettes left that are very expensive (check AMSNAG well into the future). I am glad this train is doing so well and know Amtrak is limited with the number of Sleepers...

Hello, On the NE Regional trains that head past WAS and the same on the return, are the restrooms emptied in WAS or anywhere along the route other than the end points? thanks

Hello, I noticed that an advanced purchase ticket on the Acela between BOS-NYP is $104 on the low bucket end, and sometimes you can get that fare on the same day of departure. If the fare is $104 on the day of departure is that a good indication that the train is not full or even close to being...

Hello, I have an odd question on an upcoming trip in 2 weeks on the LSL from BOS-CHI in an odd numbered roomette (first time on the LSL). I noticed most Viewliner cars on the east coast long distance trains run with the bedrooms towards the front and the roomettes towards that back. Yet with...

Hello everyone, I am planning a trip, using AGR points, for the last week of October into November heading westbound out of Chicago Union. I was wondering about whether to take the California Zephyr out or the Empire Builder. I am looking for suggestions or if anyone has experience at this...

Hello, My name is Bob and I am from BOS and started traveling Amtrak last Decemeber and have completely fallen for train travel. I am going to be taking my first sleeper in a couple of weeks on the L.S.L. to CHI and then back to BOS by way of the Capitol Limited to WAS and then the NE regional...
