    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    I'd rather make an honest living shoveling manure, than to work for CNN

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    Well there's definitely lodging at and surrounding the casino. If you stayed there, I imagine they would have pick up service from the train station, and probably Uber/Lyft, though I can't verify that from experience.

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    That might be interesting -- They used to have "Haunted Tours" at night, and the Charlestown Casino & RaceTrack is right down the road..... Could be a nice overnight jaunt :)

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    Lots to do and see, god food, great history, Train Tracks everywhere. Some very steep terrain however, if you plan to walk through the town.

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    I agree with your Hubby -- I would avoid DC, unless you absolutely wanted to see the Smithsonian and/or Monuments, or Arlington. I would look into the Frederick, Charlestown, or even Harper's Ferry areas. Lots of Hotels and, and you could tour Antietam, Devil's Backbone Park, and Harper's...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    Hang in there gwolfdog. Are you already paid through April in Florida? A lot can happen in 12 days, as things are changing rapidly. I hope things look better for your options in another week -🤞 ET

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    Any speculation when things will open up? I'm thinking summer we'll be more open in some capacity across much of the U.S. Am I the King of Wishful Thinking ??

    Bedroom Pricing...

    But Megabus actually does have those 41 Fares - it's for the first booking in each direction. I scored $1-both ways from Balto/NYC/Balto for the Auto Show in 2017 ! & There's a $1 Service Fee, so my round-trip cost me $4 😀 Thought about going again this year - glad I passed on that, as I'd be...

    Bedroom Pricing...

    Whoever programs the real-time pricing for Amtrak should work with investors to help online trading on wall street. I've seen prices change within minutes. I booked a train from Baltimore to NY for a car show, and my friend lived near the BelAir stop was online and we were on phone at same...

    Amtrak teases upgraded bedding/amenities for sleeping cars

    PRICE DROP! The February 2021 Prices just dropped dramatically. I booked my return trip from Sanford to Lorton at 1/2 of what it was yesterday, and was able to cover it with AGR points !! I'm hoping we're back to more normal times by then. 2021 will be my first year in retirement, and our first...

    Auto train derailment south of Deland 3/26

    Thanks jiml - I enjoyed watching that video. I watched the entire 25 minutes, and it was worth it. I learned a few things about the prefixes and the signaling and switching activities. Very Interesting! 👍 How did you get wind of that? Do you subscribe to Danny Harmon's youtube channel...

    Auto Train, Sanford to Lorton questions

    I know this is an older thread, but there are so few that are specific to AutoTrain, and only a couple that pop up when searching for "SnowBirds". I plan to snowbird in Orlando, starting next year, and like the possibility of having my own vehicle and no rent-a-car. How many others do that, and...

    Still waiting for someone to experience ALL of the promised amenities from the OP to this thread. Has anyone ridden the Auto Train recently, and experienced the new stuff?

    Strange Incident at Flagstaff 4(3)

    Did you purposely drop this piece from the quote, when responding??: This lady was left in her wheelchair at the west end of the station, opposite from the better lighted east end where the closed waiting room is located. She started crying for help shortly after the train left which would seem...
