At least its some really good stew lol. I like that Dinty Moore stuff.

Aren't there a lot of Viewliners sitting in storage? Are those an option? Or are they in storage because they need a ton of maintenance like all other equipment in Amtraks fleet?

They did redo the Flex Dining menu for the Eagle. Those were not my options when I took it a few weeks ago.

As a North Texan, DFW was rightfully left off the list. DART isn't public transportation, its a mobile homeless motel. Texas is about as anti public transport as you can get in the U.S. in my experience. Anything touristy you would want to see basically requires a car to get there and that's...

Well that's a trip you wont soon forget lol. Sounds like you handled it like I would, just go with the flow! No use in getting upset and setting a negative mood for the rest of the trip.

This lounge is super mega packed today. Apparently they had to put up passengers from a missing train yesterday and it is loaded in here.

Rode the Pere Marquette this past weekend between Chicago and Grand Rapids both ways. To GRR the business class was brown seats (Amfleet?). Brown leather and probably as old as grandpas leather recliner but comfortable enough. Back to CHI business was the blue seats (Venture?) and my God how...

Isnt that what all Amtrak equipment does?

At this point seeing ANYTHING invested into the Texas Eaglette would be nice. Wash the windows, turn down the AC, add Marie Calendars Swedish Meatballs and Black Cherry KoolAid to the Flex Dining menu, a dining car no matter how old, a sightseer lounge no matter how old, just SOMETHING to show...

My home train is the Eaglette so theres no point in cleaning the windows lol.

People were resorting to bringing their own equipment because Amtrak was so inept at this. Glad they are actually doing something about it.

The loaded baked potato was the best item on the menu for me.

With and without a companion coupon, one adult and one youth are the same price. Tried with two adults and same price with or without companion coupon applied. Tried in both the app and online. It says its valid on sleeper accommodations like the Roomette I was looking at. Is that something...

What a shocker, Texas Eaglette getting nothing this year.

Im one of the pickiest on Earth which is why for Flex Meals I stick with beef and taters! Not many veggies that I am a fan of. If I ever go to a fancy restaurant im ordering from the kids menu because the adult dishes have too many weird ingredients lol.

I myself dont mind the beef flex meal as its really not that bad and its the only one I ever get.

Yup, waiting forever on freight is probably the number one killer of those very mildly interested in Amtrak from ever doing it again. We need a separate passenger system but that will never happen. I havent actually ridden in coach but on my walk-throughs through them the legroom seems to be...

Cautiously optimistic about the future.

If it was through Amtrak Vacations that is NOT Amtrak. They just paid for the use of the name and Amtrak does not care what they do with it.

Would like to hear back if Amtrak actually covers your rental car and any hotel stays and meals you eat on the way home, as well as refund the part of the trip you didn't get to take. Im betting you only get the refund on the rest of the trip you didn't get to take as long as they dont consider...
