In the new cars, the toilet in the H-room is not actually next to the bed; the sink is (and even overhangs the bed a bit.) The toilet is on the opposite side of the sink. Off topic, in the new cars' H-rooms, the seat back, when folded down into the lower berth, will not stay completely flat...

You appear to be including accessible seats in your counts. Premium cars have 49 seats, not 50. The baggage/coach cars have 58 seats.

I ended up staying at the Cambria Hotels Boston Downtown-Seaport, mainly because it was about a mile walk from South Station, and right across the street from the Red Line Broadway station. Basic accommodations, but clean and adequate. It's in a mostly industrial area, but I didn't feel...

Stuck on 29 in Sebring OH at 04:09 EDT. I was awakened by lack of movement about half an hour ago. Turned on the scanner, and all I've heard so far is someone asking if "the people we hit were inside the crossing gates," so sounds like a Trespasser Incident. Nothing on the app or website...

There's no fee to change a sleeper reservation, but it's likely that the fare will be higher close to departure and you will have to pay the difference (or you'll get a credit for future travel if you luck out and the fare is less.) I switched trains about a week ago for a trip coming up this...

I disagree. There's currently a 6 hour layover in CHI. 92 is often late into WAS, but the latest over the past 30 days was 5 hours 55 minutes, which was the only arrival over 5 hours late. And I don't think they will need the full hour that currently exists between 92's scheduled arrival in...

IMO, the biggest loss is the loss of checked baggage to/from NYP & intervening stations.

Perhaps because the effective date for the change is still not cast in stone.

Not recommended if the SCA is delivering your meals.

AGR can transfer you to Customer Relations as well. I don't think the wait time for CR will be any less, but the initial call to AGR might get thru quicker than it would to USA-RAIL.

MBTA has promised to have at least one low-floor entry car on every Green Line train. However, the low-floor section of the car is rather small, and can get crowded at peak times.

The root cause may be the planned closure of one of the tunnels between NJ & NY for rehab, thus reducing capacity into NYP. I'm not sure whether this has been confirmed.

I think the platform is on an elevated structure, so the issue is getting between the street level and the platform.

It's not clear what you are asking.

So are passengers who are unable to climb stairs just left behind?

You should plan to be flexible. Sometimes a missed guaranteed connection is satisfied by booking you on the next day's train and providing a hotel for the night. Sometimes trains get cancelled, due to floods, storms, freight derailments, or whatever. I think you should plan on a hotel night...

To clarify, the above is only between San Antonia & Chicago. Between L.A. and San Antonio, the Eagle's thru cars are appended to the Sunset Ltd., so you get all the expected LD perks. For coach passengers, that's a Sightseer Lounge car with Cafe service on the lower level. Sleeping car...

Yep. They've been running either: 1 VL-I sleeper with a VL-II bag/dorm, or 2 VL-I sleepers with a full baggage car.

RPA does not have the new schedule, and they probably won't update their timetable until well after it goes into effect. The new schedules are only available by searching on the Schedules tab on the Amtrak website with the City option and a date after the change. Here are copies of the new...

Fie on them.
