Too bad tier status can not be transferred between travel companies. I am Elite at Princess and am done taking cruises. I would like to take more train trips and it would have been nice to have the status transferred to Amtrak.

Give a first class amenity package to sleeper passengers. It could include sample toiletries, pad of paper, pen, deck of cards, comb, toothbrush, etc. I've seen some over the top packages in some high first class airlines. With the amount I am paying for a sleeper comparable to first class air...

I have installed Speedbox which seems good enough for my purpose.

What is the best free app for an iPhone to show train speed and maybe travel direction? I do not need or want want a map app.

If you enjoy sleeping in a catscan then it is fine. There is very little space and no window. I tried it once and almost went crazy.

You can get a definite answer at 800-USA-RAIL

Clearing cookies solved the problem.

There must be multiple servers. It is still down for me. This page isn’t working amtrak.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 503 I am going to restart my browser to see if that helps. Still doesn't work. App also did not work until I signed out and back in. I can't sign...

Anyone notice that the Amtrak website seems to be down? It was also having problems yesterday.

Since the one listed is "amtrak-service-standards-manual-011121-redacted" someone with plenty of time could try all dates for the past year. It is part of the URL for the manual. I do not know what "redacted" means in the address but you many have to try with and without it. Good luck.

I wonder how many other interesting documents are hidden that deep in the website. Every lower directory shows an error so there is no way to search.

A handheld GPS would be nice but not worth the cost with the use I would give it.

I am not currently planning on cancelling my trip but I would like to know the exact policy. I know that Amtrak is waving change fees for all trips booked by 1/4/22 but is a cancellation a change? Assuming I cancelled a trip that is less than 121 days away what would the cancellation fee be? I...

When looking at Google Maps I see it has the capability to save maps for offline use. The only problem is that it stores a huge amount above and below the train route. Has anyone ever downloaded the entire California Zephyr route? What is the size? I know that it would be multiple segments. How...

As long as no one can see you I can't see why it matters. Just have it available. I will be traveling in April and I am sure not going to sleep in a mask with my door and drapes closed.

Sonrisa Publications has route guides for the Empire Builder and California Zephyr that you can follow along the way. It even has the train schedule at each stop. It shows every city and track along the way. Very detailed. http://www.djcooley.com/
