    Taxis at Miami and Fort Lauderdale stations

    I can’t take the Star because it doesn’t stop in Jesup, and I know for sure my niece, who lives with me and would be picking me up, would never be able to find her way to the station in Savannah. Plus it would be the wee small hours…

    Taxis at Miami and Fort Lauderdale stations

    I want to do a trial run in the next couple of weeks, Jesup to MIA and back on the Meteor, with the overnight between. I’ve cruised a lot, and generally go in a day early. It would probably mean a night in a hotel after, too, as I’m not sure I could make the morning departure of the Meteor...

    Taxis at Miami and Fort Lauderdale stations

    I am considering long distance travel to these stations to connect with a cruise, rather than the ridiculous routings of air travel. My nearest airports are not major, although they might like to think they are. Savannah and Jacksonville…it’s like, you can’t get there from here…. Board and...

    Worst Amtrak Station?

    About that station in Tampa... Yes, it is a classic design...But we arrived there back in 2017 via AmBus, and there was nothing. We couldn't even get a cab to our hotel. The hotel finally had to send us the bus they use as a shuttle for a small fee. Calling for a taxi got us nowhere. CJ

    Hurricane Dorian (2019)

    I am a cruise ship that is to return to Mia on Monday. Plan was to fly to Jax where my car is. Doesn’t look like that will happen. If coast guard closes FL Ports we may end up in Mobile. Life is getting interesting. Just glad I am now on the ship and not one of the 2000 people hoping to...

    Mini-Marts Near Tampa Station

    There is nothing at the Amtrak station.  Not even taxis.  When we debarked the Ambus there we called taxis but they never came.  We finally called our hotel and they connected us with an inexpensive shuttle they used.  EM

    Amtrak Train Separates Outside of Albany, NY (11/21)

    So the train really was already stopping when this fellow pulled the lever? http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25349181/rensselaer-polytechnic-institute-lineman-reuben-clarke-lauded-stopping-detached-train-cars

    Cruising (Ocean and River)

    I have taken many ocean cruises, starting back in 1972/73 and then a break until 1999.  We love the ambiance of a cruise ship, but we don't travel in luxury.  Just moving from one place to another and having our meals catered is luxury enough.  I also belong to that very large cruising website...

    Is Amtrak getting stricter with the carry on policy?

    Weelll...let me jump in here.  Last Feb. we were in Jesup, GA (unstaffed station) picking my niece off of the Meteor.  There was an elderly man there with a host of baggage.  A large suitcase, a couple of small suitcases, multiple totes and even a large paper trash bag.  I think his family was...

    Savannah station parking (safe?)

    I've left my car there for a day trip to Fayetteville and back several times. It's not a bad part of town...but it really isn't part of town. It's in the sticks. Totally industrial area. CJ

    91(5) and 53(5) Delays.

    My sister just talked with my niece...She got on in Jesup, (98/5) and at the first stop (Savannah) they took a man off...drunk and disorderly? She thinks he may have got on in Jesup. Then they had hot brakes...CJ

    98 Silver Meteor Derails in SAV (1/3/18)

    I always get my directions turned around in that station. But I have a few questions. When the train overshot the station, was it on the main line, the double tracks up behind the station? To overshoot and back into the station, it would have had to use the switch that is used by the...

    98 Silver Meteor Derails in SAV (1/3/18)

    We had to go to SAV to see a doctor, and stopped by the station. 98 was there, they were loading the cranes onto their trucks, and 98 left heading south at 2:25pm. Well, I have to retrace my tongue. There was a train in station at Savannah with sleepers and a diner, and a baggage car plus the...

    Amfleet II vs Amfleet I seating

    The Palmetto to/from Savannah shares the same consist as the Pennsylvanian. If you are not going the full distance, or most of it, they will point you to the A1 car. I learned the hard way, boarding in Sav, start of the route, going r/t Fayetteville. Just a joy ride. They send you to the A1...
