I’m planning a trip to Chicago in September and I would like to use some points to go to a second destination. I would rather coach during the day, because my husband does not like the roomettes, I make him sleep on the top lol. I don’t have enough points for a bedroom. Is there a train that...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but does anyone know of a good company that runs train trips/tours through Canada? I would like a little more than just the train, altho the train is a big part of it for me. Looking for next summer sometime. Thanks.

My niece and I took Amtrak coach from Washington DC to Chicago. We got off the train and started to walk to the station and baggage claim. I stopped along the way to take 3 quick pics with my cell phone for my nephew. We then went right to the baggage (I knew exactly where it was), and there...

I usually travel from Orlando to Chicago via Washington DC in a sleeper, but this time I'm taking my niece with me and we are going coach. Since we have several hours in DC, we'd like to take in a museum or just walk around the city, as she's never been there. When I've done this before, I...

What's the chance of me missing the Lincoln connection after getting off the River Runner since there is only 1 hr between trains? And if I miss it, what are my options?

I am doing 2 separate legs using points, one from Chicago to Minn, and then a week later Lees Summit (KC area) to Chicago via St. Louis. I will have one large suitcase and a carry-on. 2 questions: 1. I see there is no checked baggage on a couple of those legs. Is there room for my...

I am taking a trip from Orlando, visiting Chicago, Minneapolis and Lee's Summit (Kansas City MO area). I have taken the Orlando to Chicago route multiple times with the long layover in Washington which I like because I can fit in some sightseeing. The route in reverse doesn't allow for that much...

I am traveling from Chicago (50 Cardinal) via a thruway bus (Charlottesville to Richmond, VA) to Orlando (97 Silver Meteor). I've gone from Orlando to Chicago many times via Wash DC and NY, but never this direction. Anything I should know about the bus? Is there one side that is better to sit...

I will be traveling from Orlando to Chicago for LitFest and some genealogy research in Chicago the 2nd weekend of June. I have taken the Orlando-Washington-Chicago route several times as well as the Orlando-NYC-Chicago. I thought I would take the train in the other direction this time, as the...

I'm thinking about going to visit my daughter in Minneapolis later this month, and was automatically thinking of going to Minn on Amtrak, then fly home. I have taken the Orlando to Chicago via Wash DC several times (but never the opposite direction), so was thinking about going Orlando to NYC...

I have been to Union Station DC several times, but as a sleeper passenger, so there was a place to put my suitcase while I killed some time seeing the sights. However, this time my mom and I are going coach, with the same layover. We'd like to see some sights, but need to know if there's...
