There is a Hilton Garden Inn and a Hampton Inn across the Wabash river from the Station…..maybe see if they would allow parking for a small fee? A pedestrian bridge crosses the river, which takes you right to the HGI. The lot at the station looks to have space for 16-20 cars, unsure if it is...

I was caught up in the incident cpotisch's Dad experienced. I was on a later train; we were bussed from NYP to NYG, boarded a Metro North train and travelled to New Haven. Then we waited for hours, with pretty much no information from the agents. Finally, once there were enough passengers to...

Thank you for sharing your excellent report with us, Rob. I truly enjoyed all the facts and photos. Even the one with me in it! I'm looking forward to article two and three. Mike

Hello Bill631, I just tried to book NYP to PHL using points, and was told maintenance was being performed, No problem using cash for payment. I would suggest calling Amtrak Guest Rewards at 800-307-5000 if you need to make your reservation immediately. Good luck! Mike
