Well, good info on that plate. Too bad that it is not something that can easily be used. I do believe that we had a traveler in a wheel chair on our northern run. It sure was nice to be able to use it at least one time on our trip. And it did relieve some of the frustration of trying to...

Awe now you went and hurt my feelings............Sorry about the ramblings.....I AM a newbie ya know!.... Seriously; I was looking for this type of info when I first came on this forum. As a newbie I did not and still do not comprehend some of you more experienced folks lingo, and...

Duct tape and Cokes.....I do understand!

Yes, we apparently missed when the attendant came through to take reservations for dinner; my grand daughter needed the potty. But I have to say, if it weren't for this forum, I wouldn't have had a clue as to anything related to train travel. It's kind of a learn as you go thing. I found it...

Well. First let me say that dispite confusion, delays and "crusty" red caps...I totally and completely enjoyed my first train experience, and look forward to riding the rails once again... Now, I did learn a few things, and still have questions on others, so I'll...

Hi people! Well, we ended up riding busses from Syracuse to Albany. Apparently contracted these busses last minute, because none of the drivers could let us know anything about the Albany station; when we arrived there, they did not even know where to take us. Very confusing situation. We are...

Hi All. Our family reunion was wonderful....all went well, got to see family and a few dear friends. However, today, as I was bragging to those who would listen, about my great adventure, and how I now have a burning desire to do more train trips; I logged onto the amtrack website to find an...

Hello everyone....Sorry to be so long in getting the update.... Dispite the few snags; I completely enjoyed the journey north. And yes, the steps were covered at the last stop in Syracuse, making it so much earier to navigate. :) Had a very lovely ride from Penn Station to to...

Geez you guys! Lol.... I may be extremely tired, but seemed like steps down within the train itself,and that very scared gap. Really that gap, scared the crap out of me because my hands were not free to help her across. We are pulling out of Rome, NY, now and she just got her little arm...

Yeah, I had asked our attendant right after the stop previous to NYP, her looked at me , pulled my bags from the overhead, put them on the empty seat in front of us, and said I should have asked sooner, said he'd see what he could do, never saw him again until I had trouble getting my bags and...

Exhausted! Too fearful and tired to stick my nose out of Penn Station, but did get some great NY pizza! Had a problem getting a RedCap initially, but finally got to share one with a very pregnant Mama and small child. Ahhhh, my back! Note to self... Less baggage., More later...
