Hello! New member here. My wife and I (both "seniors") are planning our first Amtrak trip from Fort Madison Iowa to Albuquerque NM on the Southwest Chief later in the year. I'll have LOTS of questions later. Thanks for those who operate this forum.
Welcome! It looks like Fort Madison, a town of about 10,000 people, has a gem of a train station:Hello! New member here.

No useful suggestions, sorry, because I don't know that area (nor do I know how far you are from Fort Madison!).Thanks, Trollopian, for your comment. Yes, the station itself does look quite attractive and we plan to visit it in the next few weeks before we take a trip. However, so far, I have not found ANY public transportation that we can use to get to the station. That is, I have not found any rental car agencies with an office in Fort Madison. There is a bus station, but it's at the other end of town. So one of our first goals is to figure out how to get to the train station. If you have any suggestions about that, I would be glad to know what they are.
