I just took a closer look at the photos on page 1 of this thread, and I think the new items look very nice, for what they are. I detest woven or wool blankets; they make me itch, and I get overheated quickly. The new blue ones look quilted and are probably micro-fiber, or similar, and they are...

Glad you take it all in stride, and i already signed up for an AGR Mastercard-- should be here in time to book my Southbound Leg for next January. I was planning to book 1-Way, as soon as available, and then leverage the additional points from that purchase to use with the CC bonus points, when...

So True - I guess I glossed over the altruistic part, and went straight to "what's in it for me", didn't I ?:D

That's okay, Qapla - if we were in the same railcar, and all that was available was Pepsi, I would join you in drinking one:p My Mom was a huge Pepsi-holic, and she would never buy Coke for in the house. I would always jump for joy if we were dining out somewhere, where they only served Coke...

Thanks, "DA" (Interesting Charlize Theron Movie, by the way):) Looks like the best bang for the buck is Silver (30K Points for $1000) BUT - membership excludes discounts on the sleeper cars and car-fees on the Auto Train, which is my main interest. However, I'm assuming I can still use the...

What route was that on Barb? Thanks for sharing.. ET:)

Maglev - Thanks for that! I ran some stats from those numbers, and overall percentages look really good, but what the heck happened in September ? (a whole week of cancellations)! On-Time (I gave grace up to 2 hrs. late)- 94% Delayed >2hrs but <4hrs - 2% Delayed > 4 hrs...

Newbie here -- Please tell me about these 30Kpoints, and the Rail Society ??o_O Thanks ET:)

Yeah - the photos I saw of those toilets adjoined to the roomette chairs were apparently from a "viewliner", not the autotrain. It has me wondering - Is there a way to do a drive-by in Lorton, and ask to get to see the rooms on the train, between boardings ?? As a newbie -- the other concern I...

Oh - well that's good for me - as I dislike Pepsi :p

Thanks, lordsigma ! Was that Coke Switch a switch To Coke, or From Coke ?? (hoping it was To Coke) :p ET

Thanks for sharing, mmatarella ! Do the roomettes have their own toilet?? If not, that's a deal-breaker for the wife. & so far, we are still able to maneuver enough to use the upper bunk, but I'll let you know how it works out :D ET

Well thanks, jiml, for the "official" welcome :p and for sharing your Snowbird info. This is my last full year to work. We have been extending our Winter Vacation, incrementally, over the past few years, and we stayed for 3+ weeks last year (Jan 2019). We did several days in Disney, without a...

Any updates on this being implemented on the autotrain yet? I saw a new menu announced, re-introducing a free glass of wine with dinner. I had not heard about the upgrades to bedding/amenities.

Awesome Sauce - Thanks pennyk ! ET:)

Got it - & I replied THANKS pennyk !

I figured out the avatar! Now to change my display name...........???

I appreciate the feedback and, after reading all the other comments, I am encouraged. I read something yesterday that said the meal changes effective in 2020 have put a free glass of wine back on the dinner menu for travelers in sleeper cars. I found some more updated photos of the superliner...
