Benale, I have 2383 points currently...I wont be using them. Since I no longer have the guest rewards credit card, the points will eventually expire. I'm not sure I'm allowed to do this, but if you want the points, I'd be happy to gift them to you! It's not much but maybe all hope is not...

Well, I took everyone's advice and wound up calling. The customer relations representative agreed that it should not have happened. She did also say that instead of me cleaning up, I should have found the attendant. I have to agree that this was probably my mistake but I guess I wasn't...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am hesitant to make the call. At one point, I over heard her talking to another passenger. She was saying that she had 7 weeks left until retirement. I don't want to get anyone in trouble. I still love riding the train and will be making my plans for my trip...

I’m not quite sure if I should be upset about any of this or not….I guess bottom line is that the attendant did her job…not well, but she did it. Coming back from Clemson, SC…the northbound Crescent picked us up on time at 10:16PM. Our attendant was unable to assist me with getting our large...

Hi Everyone! A few quick questions I will be taking the Crescent from NYP to CSN in October....looking forward to the trip! So far I've only ever taken the Silvers. Since we will be boarding from NYP at 2:15PM will lunch already be done? Just wondering if I should grab something at Penn to...

Hi All, I think we're set!! We are going to take the Adirondack to Hudson, NY and then the empire service back. If all goes well....Saratoga is next on the list! I think I'll save the LD train until October. Can't wait! Jen

Thank you all again for such great ideas!! I've been looking into them and even tossing around the idea of just making a day of the train along the hudson and coming back....no real exploring of the area! Jen

Great ideas!! I am from Long Island.....so I'd rather go somewhere where the train is a part of the day....I could drive out to the Hamptons or Port Jeff....and I live next to a Fire Island Ferry! LOL I was tossing around the idea of taking the Adirondack to Saratoga Springs....I've always...

Hi All, I'm looking for a good day trip from NYP. Either north or south. I want to pick a destination station that would have something within walking distance or leaves you "right in town"... I would like to make it a day trip and come back the same day but if anyone has any suggestions for...

Thanks All for the info. I'll let everyone know how it goes! I do think I will be asking for a red cap for her. She's bringing a large bag with her and is concerned she wont be able to lift it above her seat. She's a tiny little thing. lol! What is customary to tip? Would $10.00 be ok?

My sister is going to Albany on the Empire Service at 10:15AM I'm going to Florida on the Silver Star at 11:05AM

Just found this....seems like I can bring her into the lounge! ClubAcela Customer Rules & Privileges ClubAcela customers traveling in First Class or sleeping car accommodations, Single-Day Pass holders, and Select Plus members may bring immediate family members traveling together, or one...

I can bring her into the lounge? I thought only if I was select plus! That would be wonderful but opens up a whole new set of questions! If they will announce her train in the lounge.... Jen G

Ok, so I will have to admit right off the bat that I am almost downright ashamed to ask these questions....being a NY resident my entire life and passing through NYP more times than I can count. I will be leaving on the Silver Star at 11AM I will be escorting my little (she's not really...

I continue to check the websites for updates...here is the latest! Amtrak Silver Service and Sunset Limited Routes Impacted by Approaching Tropical Storm Isaac August 26, 2012 7:30 pm ET Amtrak has taken the pro-active measure in suspending portions of its Silver Service, the Sunset Limited...

Just going to keep an eye on it. I think I should be ok. I think my biggest issue would be long term flooding...not so much damage from the storm (i hope!) Keeping my fingers crossed that it's not going to be a bad storm. Anyway you look at it I can always change my plans. I hope that...

So, I'm getting a tad bit nervous about my trip next Saturday. NYP - HOL I know the hurricane is supposed to reach South Florida on Monday...I should be fine, right? Maybe. I am concerned with flooding and possible damage from the storm. Anyone know how prone that route is to flooding? Will...

Thank you everyone for all the great info! We will be taking the Adirondack from NYP to SAR and taking a quick 5 minute taxi ride to Congress Park to check out the mineral springs. Then we'll find a place for lunch! I've looked up a few restaurants around the park and they all seem to have...

Does anyone know if there are taxi's at the SAR station? I think we'd like to check out Saratoga! Gives us a nice (almost) 4 hour train ride on the Adirondack, 3.5 hours (give or take) to explore SAR and then back on the Ethan Allen. There seems to be a lot to see and do in town! Thanks...
