    Questions for First Trip

    Thanks so much for the answers, y'all! My suitcase packed weighs about 30 pounds and I am 5'2. How high are the overhead racks? Will I be able to get my suitcase up there? I really don't want to leave my bag where I can't see it. Just weird like that. Also are there electrical outlets at...

    Questions for First Trip

    Hopefully this will be my last post with questions before my trip and I will come back in love with Amtrak and totally question-less for the future. I am traveling coach (every leg) RVM>WAS 94, WAS>CHI 29, CHI>MSP 27. 1. How will I know which car to actually board? Are they numbered as above...

    Empire Builder Summer Blues Started Early this year

    Traveling on a Friday and Saturday in August All very good information. Thanks so much. I don't fly which is why I'm going by train! lol Ah, well. The worst that happens is I'm a day late to work and they fire me. Could be a blessing provided by Amtrak.

    Empire Builder Summer Blues Started Early this year

    Connecting with #30 Capitol Limited to WAS, then #99 to RVR (final destination). I'm definitely gathering there is a good chance I'll be late into Chicago. Really should have looked more into and researched Amtrak before I set the whole trip up. Due to be back at work no exceptions the day...

    Empire Builder Summer Blues Started Early this year

    Could anyone point me in the direction of info on people's experiences with missed connections? I'm sorry to be a pain but this will be my first time traveling on Amtrak and doing it alone, at that. I'm taking the eastbound EB into Chicago on my way home and super concerned about what will...

    Boarding at RVM?

    I embark on my trip this summer out of RVM, which I understand is an unmanned station. This may be silly but how exactly does this work? Will I be waiting inside and someone lets you know when the train's there or how does it work? Trip anxiety creating silly questions.

    Best of the Lounge Lizards

    My first Amtrak trip this summer and I will be doing long distance in coach on the CL. Glad I read this! Don't want my picture plastered on here with a lounge lizard tag. I'll suffer sleeping in coach if it kills me...which by some accounts, it may come close to doing. :)

    Modified Reservation?

    Ah, okay...I'm an idiot! Upon further inspection, my ride on the Capitol Limited is earlier on departure and 30 minutes later on arrival. So next question is, are the tickets I got from the station on ticket stock (I believe that's the term that is used) still good? Or should I bring those...

    Modified Reservation?

    I made my reservation over the phone in May and within the week went to the station and paid in person and got the ticket. I received an email overnight from amtrak saying "eTicket for your Upcoming Trip". In the email it states "Purchased 5/25/2013" & "Modified 6/5/2013". I have personally...
