Your "bring list" for riding the rails?

Maybe we just got a really low bucket fare or something, but it seemed to be surprisingly inexpensive. I don't recall numbers now. And that was before I knew about amsnag for comparison. It seemed the handicapped discount was a big one, though, so are you sure? I think I read at some point that Amtrak gave such a good handicapped discount because they had gotten in some trouble over accessibility issues or something.

I always had to phone to book the H unit, so I always worked through an agent.

Be aware that the discount is only on the rail fare portion, not the accommodation charge.

Keep in mind that disabled folks can also reserve the "H" room for the same cost as a Roomette.

Maybe the H room is discounted but not all disabilities which qualify require the H room so I just wanted to point that out.
