That is my biggest concern - I’m an old lady and I really need a room!

I plan to get to florida a couple of days early.

I am planning on going on a cruise leaving out of Fort Lauderdale. Amtrak routes me through Chicago to DC then to Fort Lauderdale. I’m very concerned about making my connections. I was thinking perhaps of going to Chicago then NYP on the Lake Shore Limited, spending the night in NY then...

Thanks! I will be on the 3 heading to LA...

I will be boarding in Lamy, New Mexico tomorrow. This station recently became unstaffed. How do I know where to be on the platform to find the sleeper car? Should I wear my running shoes?!

I don’t know what Arrow is! P.S. last. Checked amtrak wanted an extra $600+ from Lamy to Chicago. Too much for me!

Thanks to you both for your response!

Hi - when do you propose is the best time to try and get an (affordable) upgrade from a roomette to a bedroom? I travel on January 6 on the SW Chief. I can call customer service in advance, or is it possible to get an upgrade once on board? Thanks for your advice.

I was hoping to take the thruway from Flagstaff to Phoenix tonight but I was told they are sold out!

Hi - I am scheduled to depart MRC heading to CHI on 1/16/2017. When I booked the trip it was departing around 6:30 a.m. but awhile back I got a notice that the departure changed to 4:40 a.m. I checked the Texas Eagle schedule on Amtrak and it still shows the original departure time. Can anyone...

BTW, I made my connection with about an hour to spare!

I don't care for dates and had no plans to order this new dessert until a lunch mate made me taste his. It was delectable!

Thanks Oregon pioneer! I checked for the last month and only twice was the delay long enough to miss a connection!

I will cross my fingers. Thanks.

Hi - I am taking a sleeper on the Empire Builder to Portland then picking up the Coast Starlight heading to L.A. There is a 4 hour gap between arrival and departure. If the Empire Builder is late and I miss the Coast Starlight, will Amtrak put me up? Will I be put in a sleeper on the next...

Giordano's has a deep dish for one, small pizza with a side salad (very good Caesar dressing) plus a drink for about $10. About 2 blocks east and 1 block south of Union Station. (I recommend you look it up because I am known to get my directions wrong!)

I completed my Texas Eagle trip Chicago to Maricopa. There were taxis at the station but I did the Uber thing. Worked out swell - paid $41.25 for a 40 mile trip. The trip was very long so I switched my return to the Flagstaff to Chicago route (Southwest Chief?). The Arizona Shuttle will take...

I will let you all know how this turns out. Right now I am planning on trying Uber for the first time. If I chicken out, and if there is a taxi stand in Maricopa, maybe I'll just take a cab.

Hi! I will probably go the Uber route. I need to get to central Phoenix not the airport and it will be late evening. Too bad the train doesn't run to PHX anymore!!
