Just received an email... Of course, this was promised like 10 years ago, so about time.

Arrived in to Chicago on 49 about 45 minutes early. Met Lounged closed until 10:30 for no explained reason. Chicago. 🤦‍♂️

Had my first ever flex dinner last night. Acceptable but not that good. Breakfast this morning was horrible. How do you mess up pancakes. They tasted really bad. Wife said the omelette was also horrible. Last nights butter cake was the highlight.

Boston sleeper is a VL2! Of course.

On 49 now. The 12 sleeper is a VL1. 😔 Probably my only chance for riding a VL2 anytime in the near future. Oh well.

Just spent about 4 hours in the New York Met lounge. Was really nice. Free food choices even fed us lunch so we did not have to leave. Now on LSL.

Anyone had eyes on 49 lately and know if the second sleeper (4912) has been a new Viewliner?

Guess I assumed with the wording above it was unlimited any time you wanted.

So with Flex Dining, how do you get your free unlimited soft drinks? Do you go to the dining car? Is bottled water an option?

We went to Boston in 2008 on the LSL when it was a train change in Albany. It was raining and I watched our luggage get soaked. There was not much they could do as there were no covered areas when loading/unloading, but they did also not seem in a hurry. We had some wet clothes, but nothing we...

My first two train trips were as a kid in the late 70's. Houston to Birmingham. We were in an Amtrak sleeper car that was moved to the Southern Crescent (non-Amtrak) in the middle of the night in New Orleans. Went to sleep on one train and woke up on another!

I spoke to an AGR agent last week who was freakin awesome! Not only did he really know his stuff, he rides trains! Anyway, speaking of my trip mid April, he was confident the Texas Eagle would have full dining back by that time. He was 50/50 for Lake Shore Limited segment. I realize employees...

Yeah, I know we can use public trans was thinking something else just for ease.

We will be arriving into LaGuardia and will need to get 5 people and as many as five suitcases and some carryon bags to Chelsea. Would normally take public transportation but with this many people and bags, was wanting to see what other options people know of that are good and reasonably priced...

I booked a trip and realized I chose the wrong room type. I am able to go an modify the trip and it shows me the point difference which is more, but when doing the final submit I get an error that just says something went wrong try again. Tried on computer and in app, both fail. Anyone ever...

I am using points so it is not really costing anything. And we have no other trips that we would even consider so might as well use the points, even on the LSL and TE. I had to call AGR to fix a couple of things on my reservation. I asked him if he could also restore full dining car service to...

My family and I did summer Amtrak trips from 2005 to 2017. We had planned one final trip together (they are both grown now) in 2020, but of course, that did not happen. So we are trying to work it where we can all do another trip together to New York. Because of time, we will fly there and...

I ended up booking through chat.

Just tried to book a simple Cascades day trip in September. Will not go through. "We've experienced an unknown error" Tried web and app. Neither worked.

I have not redeemed anything for years and got two.
