Is there any way to get from the Vermonter to the Downeaster? We're not going to any certain stop, we just want to ride these two trains. Thank you.

Thank you all for your advice. Love this forum. :)

Thank you all for your advice.

Thank you very much for this advice.

What is the neighborhood like near BAL? We like to stay close to the station. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Our last several experiences with New Orleans taxis taking us to and from the station have not been pleasant ( no meters, charge what they want-$17.00 for 1/2 mile at 9:00 pm, and insist on high tip, and a hostile attitude). How do other travelers handle this? Thank you.

Thank you very much Railroad Bill and the_traveler. Knowing these details make a trip much more pleasant. Port Kent sounds like our choice. Although, we will have to go earlier than we had planned, because of the Sept. 24 closing of the ferry. Retirement is great!. We just returned from a 13...

Port Kent and Burlington (ESX) are looking good. So when we get off the train at PRK, we walk to the dock for the ferry? I didn't see any taxis. We're healthy 70's and will have 2 suitcases with wheels. Do you think getting to the dock will be a problem? The Adirondack and the Vermonter are...

Thank you. You're right, this ferry closes 9-24. Do you know if that's too early for good foliage?

We would like to ride the Adirondack one way and the Vermonter the other way. How can we ge from one to the other? We don't care which stop we get off at. We're hoping to see some fall foliage in October. Thank you.

Thank you all. I've just discovered the Boston Harbor Islands Nat. Park. That sounds very interesting to me. So maybe I'll change our trip to the middle of June so we can do the Lighthouse tour. Hotels seem to be much more expensive, so maybe I don't have to stay on the Harbor. I'm looking at...

Thank you all for the information. BOS sounds good for our departure on the LSL, since we will have a room. We love the old beautiful stations. We're getting anxious to see Boston.

Thank you for the advice. Using a cab is ok with us. I'm not sure about the Battery Wharf, we just want to stay somewhere with a nice view. We'll probably take the Old Town Trolley to sightsee. Any suggestions of a hotel would be appreciated.

We will be going from WAS to Boston, Thursday, May 28. After a few days in Boston, we will take the LL to Chicago. We've never been to Boston, so I don't know which station to use. We'll probably be staying at the Battery Wharf hotel. We won't have a car. Thank you for any help.

We rode coach (lower level, we're seniors) from Lake Charles to San Antonio. We arrived an hour early. The SAS station isn't much , but is large compared to the LCH station. After 2 days in SAS, we had a roomette to STL. We stayed there 3 days, then back to SAS. While we were waiting at STL...

I don't know about every hotel, but the Plaza said we had to pay for the whole day, because they couldn't rent the room to someone else. I have had some hotels charge us for 1/2 day when we had a late check-out.

On our first trip to SLC, we spent 4 nights. The train arrives and departs at 3:30 am, so our first and last night were short. There were taxis waiting at the station. We stayed at the Plaza since our main focus was Temple Square, which was next door. SLC is a very clean city. There are UTA...

We, 2 seniors, made this almost 6,000 mile trip April. 2016. We have made several long-distance Amtrak trips over the past 6 years. We've taken this route 2-3 times. Some things haven't changed- the beautiful scenery on the CS and CZ. Some things have changed- the dining car menu is now the...

Upon checking the status of #1 out of LCH, it was 38 minutes late, but no mention of a BUS!

FYI I called Amtrak again and after much pleading, got an agent to look for an update on the work on the tracks between NOL and HOS. She says they should be fixed by Tuesday. We shall see. I hope this helps someone else. I certainly don't look forward to 10-12 hours on a bus. I will keep you...
