Shortly after the new bridge opened, I walked from the station to the bridge and over the bridge. It was not a short walk, but doable. The view from the bridge was incredible.

Yes, the coupon may be transferred and yes, one does need to have a valid ticket.

I was in the lounge today and asked the attendant about leaving my bag while going for a walk. The attendant informed me that they are not permitted to store bags at the front desk, but if I wanted to leave my bag at my seat, I could. However, the attendant told me that I should not leave...

It is my understanding that the Silver 11 cars are usually V2s and 10 cars are usually V1s. Although, not too long ago, both cars were V1s.

The last time I crossed the Canadian border was a few years ago in Niagara Falls by foot. I was staying on the US side and decided to walk across to see the "better" side and have a Canadian beer. I was asked a few questions and why and for how long I was going to Canada. After my response...

I am a few years younger than you are and I would not travel overnight in coach. For me, winter would not be the problem, but coach would be the problem. Before trying a multiple night trip, I would try a shorter one night trip and see how you do. There are some that say the first night is...

Welcome to Amtrak Unlimited.

I just received an email from Brightline promoting its "All Station Shared Pass" With service to Orlando now open, we are excited to introduce a new All-Station Shared Train Pass, allowing you to explore all the best of Florida. Why This Pass Is More Than Just a Ticket: With...

I think Amtrak's blankets are fine. I have never needed more than one, although I have been offered an extra. Others may bring their own blankets in sleepers, but I never have.

It can vary. I have been too warm in a sleeper and too cold in a sleeper. Certainly travel with layers.

I have never found it a nightmare to get from an arriving train to the lounge, but I am a fast walker and do not carry a lot of luggage. There are a limited number of red cap luggage carts that can take you to the lounge. I would inform your sleeper attendant that you would like a red cap and...

I traveled the first week in December 10+ years ago. It was 15 below in Winnipeg and even with my idea of winter clothing, I did not last too long outdoors until the temperature warmed up to 1 below.

I asked my neighbor, who works for Brightline, that question. He said their target passengers are foreign tourists who fly into Orlando and want to go to Miami. Frankly, that does not make a lot of sense to me since why would they fly into Orlando instead of Miami. 🤷‍♀️ He also stated that...

That is a good question. The Silvers take a really long time and are rarely on time, but it is really easy for me to get to the station. Brightline is quicker and on time performance is better, but it is an ordeal for me to get to the airport. I think the best solution is not to go to Miami. 😂

The premium lounge in WPB is not as nice as the ones in Miami and in Orlando. However, the beer and wine dispensers were not automated and were easy to use (even though there was too much foam). The food selection was limited and not as well presented as in Orlando. Passengers were waiting...

Today (10/4), I traveled from Orlando to West Palm Beach and back on Brightline. I took way too many photos and will post only some of them. When I made my reservations Brightline was scheduling trains every hour. The schedule was later reduced and both my trains were canceled. After way...
