Henderson is the county. Hendersonville is the city. Henderson, NC, a different city, is nowhere near the mountains and is near Raleigh in the ugly part of the state. Hendersonville is a neat city 20 minutes south of Asheville and it did a lot better than Asheville when Helene hit in spite of...

I have always found them to be excellent. And 1000 times better than the Crescent.

Properly, it should be called an "Eaglet", the correct spelling of a baby eagle. :)

Another suggestion - bring some window cleaner or just use plain water and kleenex and clean your windows. They should be clean if you depart from the train's initial station but they won't stay that way forever. When there is a long stop (usually stops where they say you can get off), just step...

Which makes it a scam.

The Southeastern Railway Museum (a volunteer run operation) in Duluth, GA (suburban Atlanta area) is far better.

I found a simpler way to get around this issue. Using Firefox, enabling private tabs and the "Temporary Tabs" addon as well as using a VPN, I simply open another private tab and go to the site in both private tabs. I can simultaneously put in independent searches and have both working...

Yes. There is no checking to see if you have a round trip ticket. Just park your car and leave it. One note: We came back late one evening and there are trees around so it was pretty dark near our car which was parked away from the building. We had no problems but you might think about that...

Unfortunately, my experiences when talking to 90+% of American travelers is that Amtrak is not even a thought in their minds when it comes to travel. It is either pane or car but never train. So my reply is that there will be little, if any, effect on Amtrak travel if prices go up but it might...

I also offer my heartiest welcome. Pre-Covid, on a cruise just before the world crashed down, we decided to stay a night in FTL just so we could check out Brightline at the end of the cruise. Then we took the train back to Savannah where we left our car.

I had forgotten that one! Thanks. I do remember "The Vomit Comet", "Blue Goose", "White Knuckle Airlines" and other derogatory names for various airlines.

That was also true when TTA (Trans-Texas Airlines) which, I believe, changed their name to TIA (Texas International Airlines) bought Continental and kept the Continental name.

Mergers and buyouts are mostly good for executives and bad for customers and employees. I expect the same to be true for this merger.

Spare aren't the problem re the Eagle, if I understand the infomation correctly. Amtrak management decision to sideline cars without keeping up their maintenance is the reason for shortages. The same goes for revenue opportunities. Amtrak letting go all those people instead of using the funding...

They say daily but are they made the same day as they are sold or does it mean they made them fresh yesterday and they are selling them today and they are making them today for tomorrow's train? :) They do not load food on most LD trains after the departure station as far as I know, so the wrap...

Don't read so much about accidents and incidents or you would hide in your home forever and worry about your home burning down and some crazy breaking in - also far fetched. After all, many of us older folk have never had either of those happen in our lifetimes and don't personally have friends...

It's more than just the cost of having consistent maintenance. The superliners can run shorter trains with the same number of passengers and fit into more stations without having to do multiple stops than the Viewliners. Two reasons why a lot of commuters run double deckers. Had NYC and...

Welcome. Just enjoy a night in the windy City. Stay at a hotel by the lake and enjoy the views and a night there. Just not having to worry about missed connections is worth a night's stay. The Zephyr between Denver and the west coast is not to be missed.
