If a station has trains passing through it and a terminal is the end of the line why are most terminals named stations? Are there any terminals other than Grand Central and New Orleans? Grand Central Terminal New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal Pennsylvania Station Chicago Union Station Los...

Is the following true about the maximum luggage? Amtrak site does not make it clear if weight is per item or total. 2 personal items 25 lbs EACH 2 carry on bags 50 lbs EACH 2 checked bags 50 lbs EACH 2 Additional bags $20 EACH There are also size restrictions. So it seems you can bring 250...

There should absolutely be no saving of seats for any reason. If you have to use the bathroom you have been there too long. There should be signs indicating this policy so there can be no arguments.

On my trip last week there were cloth tablecloths for some breakfasts. Other than that there was a stack of paper that seemed to be waxed on the underside. They would just remove the top layer after each seating. Plates were very thin plastic and coffee cups were paper. There was cranberry...

What do you do when seats are being reserved in the sightseer car? On my trip last week every seat was taken. Many lust had some personal item on the seat. When I asked someone next to one of the seats if they were available he said that they were having dinner. I said the seats can't be saved...

On my trip on the CZ last week I noticed that there is no longer a free newspaper for sleeper passengers. I also noticed that the bed is not put up or down unless requested. It used to be done during breakfast and dinner without asking. There were only beverages in the Metropolitan Lounge in...

How can you distinguish the coach from the sleeper in the videos.

I will be traveling on the CZ starting on May 1. What is the current location of the sleeping cars and will they remain there?

I will be using the 151 bus to get from Chicago Union Station to my hotel. There seems to be a transit station just south of Union Station where I will board it. Is there a direct connection between the two stations? There seems to be a tunnel. How do I get to it from within Union Station?

They are subsidized by the government. With no budget there is no money.

I was concerned about a possible government shutdown on May 1 and how that would affect Amtrak. Here is a response from Amtrak.

I just looked at the new menu for the CZ menu and it looks good. I just want to verify what comes with a sleeper. I assume you can have any single entree on the menu. That includes the new Field & Sea Combo for $36. Dinner comes with a salad and roll. You can order a single side for breakfast...
