Looks like you have to register for it to see it live. I hope it will be recorded for those who can't attend. It's this Monday at 10 AM ET I hope I'm not violating any board policy by pasting the actual wording of the RPA announcement. "We Need You To Sign Up! Amtrak CEO Flynn Live Online...

I watched an amateur video today from CHI to NOL. As I checked the schedule it occurred to me that northbound catches most of what southbound misses and vice versa; the exception being central IL, which TE gets both ways. I know the schedule doesn't always work. I was once on a CZ that was so...

I hope this is the place for this... Quote from Jim Mathews (NARP) (RPA?) in his newsletter from yesterday: "The Democrats first action upon taking over the House of Representatives was to pass a bill that would end the shutdown--a bill that includes generous funding for transportation and...

I can still get the site by asking Julie. But I have tried several times, in both MS Edge and IE10 to submit praise - only to be met with a message that "Amtrak.com is not responding." Then it loses all the information I entered, I had what was the most exceptional service I've ever had from...

Interesting article from TX Rail Advocates. Since this is YEARS away maybe Anderson's planning on keeping Amtrak going... http://texasrailadvocates.org/2018/05/04/texas-central-amtrak-reach-agreement-to-link-bullet-train-and-amtraks-interstate-passenger-network/

I'm going to be arriving in Fort Worth late afternoon and will be staying overnight to catch the Eagle the next day. My reservation is at the Embassy Suites, which Google Maps says is .3 miles from the intermodal station. Provided I'm not having back pain that day and can walk with my wheeled...

I got an email from NARP about this today, just saying it's planned for 6/23 in various cities (none specified). And saying we'd get more info in an upcoming email. Googling it I get nothing so it must be new. Anyone have any information? Patience is not my forte.

I'm going to San Jose in late July or early Aug - after I get off the SWC at Lax I can either catch the Coast Starlight or take 3 thruway buses. I know the scenery is great on the CS, I've done this trip a couple of times before. I can't really say I'd miss it since I'm taking the Surfliner to...

The original plan was to go from Alexandria to Fort Worth and that's what I had booked, ALX-CHI and CHI-FTW. I think the problem may have started when I modified my ticket. Since the rains were so bad in Texas and my husband who was picking me up hates trying to negotiate Fort Worth I discovered...

in my email today 5% off regardless of how many; bonuses by quantity: 1k - 4.5k points = 10% bonus 5k - 9.5k points = 20% bonus 10k - 14.5; points = 25% bonus 15k = 30% bonus It was a no-brainer under the old system but I only have one trip planned that I haven't booked and paid for, and...

Have the zone maps changed?? I just booked a one-way points trip from FTW to SAN for next March, for me and my spouse. We have wanted to go for a long time - my spouse served on the USS Midway and has wanted to visit it for many years. But it is a very expensive trip, not knowing anyone in...

Aug 2015 My trip started in Austin. That's because we started out too late from Lubbock to get to FTW on time so I called them and had them change it for me and was pleasantly surprised to have them do it easily and quickly. So I finally did my first (and last) "points run" - 100 points for...

Forgive me if someone else already posted this, I haven't seen it. Looks like there will be a feasibility study on rerouting through Pueblo without eliminating other stops. Depending on the willingness of Coloradoans to approve a tax on pot sales to pay for it...

On the SL #2 yesterday, after being stuck waiting for freight trains just east of the HOU station, we took a different route than what shows on the Amtrak route maps. Instead of going through Dayton, Liberty et al, we went on a north track through through Kennefick, Hardin and so on. There are...

The 21 originating in Chicago on May 7 got to SAS next day about 9 hours late. But that was better than the one originating on the 10th which seems to have ended somewhere between MIN and DAL. The one due in SAS today seems to have stopped somewhere between Hope and TXA. DryCreek metioned...

I have the latest update on my android, and on my iPad mini. But this is happening on both: I made 3 reservations online, one for the 5th, one for the 7th, one for the 10th. The only one that comes up in "upcoming trips" is the one on the 10th. If I punch in the reservation numbers for the...

The only way I've found to do this is to book a trip and then when I get to the payment page they have a link to my eVouchers. Is there another way that doesn't involve booking a trip and doesn't involve calling them or asking a ticket agent at a station?

Anyone know where the nearest Metro Rail station to the Amtrak station is?

Whenever I buy my ticket online I'm offered this travel protection deal. I always reject it because I've never had any of the problems associated with what it covers. But I wonder if anyone here has ever bought it and ended up having to use it?

I usually travel between April and September and if anything, the overnight temperatures in the roomettes tend to be a little on the warm side. This time I'm going in December, on the Eagle and the CL. If I were going coach I'd bring my Sherpa throw, but I've got a roomette and am wondering...
