    Purchasing a good US rail map

    I've got already a copy of that map, It's great, but I was looking for some higher detail, maybe not just "rail map", but "map" itself, so I can keep record of where am I, something like this: Even a higher zoom would be great!

    Purchasing a good US rail map

    Tomorrow begins at last my first all-alone Amtrak adventure, and I'm looking forward to getting a good rail map (or at least a map that has the rails drawn) of the US, or better, state by state. Where can I find a good bookstore or mapstore around New York Penn Station? Any recommendations? Does...

    Exchanging/Cancelling tickets from abroad

    That's true, anxiously I have just tried and it works! Free calls ! There is also a spanish language option which sounds even better to me. Anyway, I hope I won't need to use these numbers.

    Exchanging/Cancelling tickets from abroad

    So then the only way to deal with my situation would be over the phone, right? Or is it possible via the internet?

    Exchanging/Cancelling tickets from abroad

    E-Tickets

    I have just completed the purchase of my two Amtrak tickets for my three days getaway to the US. I think I messed it up with the delivery method. I always prefer to use Quik-Trak, mainly because I like how the tickets look when printed, nice souvenir. When I completed my payment, I was sent an...

    New Amtrak Cancellation/Refund Policy

    How long do vouchers last? In order to use those vouchers, you have to be physically at the station? Or may I use them thru the internet?

    Minimum check-in time for LD trains

    Well, I think I won't be printing an e-ticket. I travel standby on my flights so everything I can get fully refundable/cancellable, I buy it that way. But again, I'd be printing my tickets at a Quik-trak location in Penn Station, so I wouldn't need a huge amount of time. My short break out of...

    Minimum check-in time for LD trains

    Yes, I have been there twice. But I don't remember too much the station layout. From which platform does CL usually leave?

    Minimum check-in time for LD trains

    In a few weeks I'll be taking the route New York Penn - Washington - Chicago, via NER and CL. In order to find a best price, I'd have an only 2-hour layover in DC. I'd like to walk around downtown a bit. At what time will it be fine for checking in at Union Station? I won't be checking any...

    Connections on Different Reservations?

    Does this process work with multi-city tickets forced connections? i.e. something that the system doesn't show by default but that you can build segment by segment and the fare is still from point A to C (regardless of point B, where you make that "forced" connection).

    Overnight Chicago subway

    I'd probably be in the need of taking a train to O'Hare arriving around 4:30 am on some Wednesday in August. This would be leaving downtown around 3:45 am. Are Blue Line trains safe at that time? Any tips? I'd be wearing "business" clothes and carrying a small suitcase as a "typical" airline...

    Meeting someone who is arriving at Penn Station?

    Well this enquiry can be a bit odd, I am looking for some kind of "timetable" of Penn Station. That means, every train that departs/arrives, but placed in time order, such as: 01:34 AM departs train #4324 to Pittsburgh 01:43 AM arrives train #333 from Raleigh 01:45 AM departs NJ transit train...

    Thousands protest in Italy against high-speed train

    In the transports forum that I'm moderator (Forotransportes.com) we use just NIMBY. "NEMPTRA" sounds creepy .

    Short term baggage storage at NYP

    What about this one? I'd be flying in the first flight from ORD to EWR and then late at night leave from JFK. Will I be able to use the baggage storage while walking around Manhattan? I imagine I'd be taking NJ Transit EWR-NYP and then LIRR/Subway to JFK.
