Welcome to Amtrak Unlimited.

The Silver Star 91(10) hit a large tree overnight north of Camden SC damaging the lead engine. The train did not derail. The engines eventually got swapped and we are moving south about 5 1/2 hours late. Edit to add the cafe car is providing free coffee or tea to coach passengers. 😀 Another...

I am on the Star now. My attendant believes the Capitol Limited will be using single level equipment in the fall and that the Star will terminate in WAS. However he does not believe there will be a one seat through ride on the same equipment from Florida to Chicago.

I received an email overnight stating that there was suspicious activity on my FNBO account and to call their automated number. I looked at my account online and there was a pending transction with a zero amount from a vendor I have used previously on a different credit card. I phoned the...

I believe the above discussion assumes that reservations are intially made to travel in coach from point A to B, then in a sleeper from point B to C. Some do it to save money (possibly travel in coach during the day and sleeper at night) and others do it because sleepers are not available...

I got through to AGR without much of a wait. :)

Is anyone trying to reach Amtrak by telephone today (4/14/24)? All the numbers I have tried have either been busy or calls do not go through all morning. I do not know if there is a system wide issue or they are just busy. I need to pay for a "hold" reservation and I believe I can only do it...

Welcome to Amtrak Unlimited. Hopefully your questions will be answered.

As of now, both the Silver Star and Silver Meteor are running with only 2 sleepers. The third sleeper is supposed to be added to the Meteor within the next couple of months. I think it will be difficult to predict which cars will be V2s, but one can guess based on previous consists. Also, the...
