I believe the wine and cheese party was suspended several years ago probably pre COVID-19. I didn't know it was reinstated. I'm not a wine or cheese fan, but it's a nice gesture!

Here in NY State they have the Enhanced ID, which is supposed to be Real ID compliant.

That's too bad. The Capitol Limited was the only Superliner train east of Chicago (other than the Auto Train of course).

This may have already been answered - will the extended Capitol LTD from CHI to MIA use Superliner or Viewliner equipment?

The "sold out" status for 91 between NYP and WAS continues into March of 2025!

Started watching yesterday and got interrupted. I plan to resume today. Hopefully there is more consistent coffee service in the sleeper. It’s always been a swing & a miss (mostly miss) in my experience!

Can you believe Amtrak Vacations are misleading potential customers with this image depicting Flex Dining meals? Given the quality of the last few Flex dining meals I've experienced, I'd much rather eat the plate! I believe these are the Caprese skewers served on western routes with traditional...

What if Silver Star passengers could get off the train in Orlando, take an Amtrak-provided shuttle bus to MCO, and then have thru ticketing on Brightline to Miami?

I was Select Plus but had nowhere near enough TQPs to keep either Select Plus or Select. However, they allowed me to keep Select status 😊

Walking through the other cars to the diner, two of them had coffee waiting for their passengers. The...

Simply quoting what the SCA referred to them as. I agree with your sentiments for sure! 👍🏽

Without question the worst Flex meal I ever attempted to eat was last August on the westbound Lake Shore LTD out of NYP. We opted to dine in our Roomette. Instead of the foil-covered aluminum containers, our food was brought to us in uncovered black plastic trays. The food was lukewarm and...

I just wrote Amtrak, letting them know I am not pleased with this new restriction. If they are going to keep reducing amenities and increasing prices, what’s the point in paying for business class at all?

Yes, I was on the Maple Leaf (63/64) in September of 2022 and all we had to do is go to the cafe counter and ask for what we wanted. What’s so frustrating about Amtrak is each crew makes up their own rules. There is no consistency whatsoever.

I just called Amtrak Guest Rewards to inquire about the rules for complimentary drinks in business class on the Northeast Regional service. They claim business class customers are now limited to just one (1) complimentary nonalcoholic beverage. My wife is currently traveling with friends on...
