Why I travel by trains....I like trains.

Yes it is that easy.When talking to security tell them you will be parked in the Amtrak area for x amount of days and they will give you an envelope to fill out with a little info,put your money in and they have a slot to slip it into. It has been four years since I rode last but I wouldn't...

Ryan,I guess when I took that route I stayed in SAC with a friend for a few days.Then the CS to LA back to Chicago. Priusgal..don't forget the Cardinal does not run every day so you have to consider that.If you belong to AAA get their travel agent to plan it for you.Costs 30 bucks but then you...

Where would you have to take an eight hour bus ride at?

I don't really care but the upper level you get to see more.I am like my dad was,the clickety clack of the rail puts me to sleep. Downstairs there is usually less foot traffic and the shower is right there.Down fall is you have to up stairs to get to dinning car.

Is the new lounge just before the Great Hall where the bar used to be?

I think they provide a great service and like seeing them when I am on the same train.

Bob Dylan..Williams Junction AZ.Is that the one where you take a van to a crossing to board?

Never heard of Family Guy.

I had a broken ankle in two places plus fused last year so like you crutches and many casts but there is no way I would take the train. If it is moving and swaying..good chance..down ya go.Going up steps is not too bad but going down is. Me, I wouldn't risk it..tips are wet on a metal...

If in a roomette..sit back,relax,drink a beer,look out the window and enjoy and fall asleep.

Not on a budget...never thought I would say this but I took two tours of the star houses etc.Another tour all around the city.Not on the same train trip but I had fun.I stayed in Chinatown on the Red Line I think. I don't remember the tour line but this was top of the list in a quick search.I...

The friendly agent in C-ville will let you day check your luggage for the $4 standard Amtrak charge, or just tell you to leave it for free while waiting on the Card which arrives on the other side of the Station on different tracks than the Crescent. That is good to know.I might be going...

Leaf peeping,unique name for a topic. I always thought the Cardinal thru West Virginia and the Ohio River on the Kentucky side would be nice in the fall.Never have been on where you are planning to go..sounds like a nice plan.

Yuppers I agree..it was some interesting talk.

We were so far ahead of schedule on the Eagle that we sat there for about an hour and a half. When we left three people were left behind,I got to see port o lets on wheels,A first for me...but I enjoyed the stop.If in a car that way I will stop by again.

Thanks guys.This trip is for no other reason other than to ride.Cincinnati to Chicago and then off to Seattle. I was thinking from Seattle to LA with the Sunset to NOL.Then I thought I want some new miles and a complete circle soo the Crescent to Charolletsville and then the Cardinal back to...

Does Charlottesville VA station have a place where I could leave my luggage for the day while I explored the area? I wanna come from New Orleans and then pickup the Cardinal back home.

Not the best to me. Pulled out of Chicago one time and ordered ice cream and was told they forgot to put it on.Shoulda told me they ran out but being the first and only one in the dinner...boring car for sure but I only ride it to and from Cincinnati to Chicago.
