    Texas Eagle discussion

    I can't envision Amtrak offering any discounts based on scheduled trackwork. I don't believe they think like that.

    Texas Eagle discussion

    We live in Austin TX, so... Your prayers for us are appreciated. Hi, you asked this question in the Texas Eagle forum, but you didn't get an answer since ATN (Anniston AL) is on the Crescent route. I don't know, either.

    Hotels convenient to Amtrak

    Nice private campground last time we stayed there.

    Bid Up questions and experiences

    One reason the attendant might have offered that bedroom: it's much easier for him or her to strip and make up the beds in the larger room. The CA would be out of the corridor as they worked.

    Long distance survey

    My feelings are hurt. I'm Select Executive for 3 years straight, all on long distance trains, and have 101,000 points. But no survey. Hmmph.

    Using the Red Cap service at Moynihan

    If you have the Amtrak app on your phone, look at the bottom tray for "more...." and there is a Contact Us link. Best to write an email from there.

    Sunset times along train line

    I wouldn't count on a dinner meal, but a call to Amtrak to verify might be in order.

    Texas Eagle discussion

    Even though there's a similar split/recombination procedure in Albany NY (Lake Shore Limited) and Spokane WA (Empire Builder), those don't create the same confusion as the Eagle/Sunset operation because of the tri-weekly schedule of #1 and #2. If Amtrak would make it a daily train, all this...

    The conductor or LSA announces that you must keep the adjacent seat free of your belongings in order to accommodate expected passenger boardings.

    New York Penn Station v3.0

    Found the 33rd St entrance. Easy peasy. Thanks.

    New York Penn Station v3.0

    My question isn't about the redevelopment, but rather a practical one: we will walk down 8th Ave from the New Yorker Hotel to catch #190 tomorrow 6:50 a.m. Friday March 10. Should we cross the street and enter at the "Pennsylvanian Station" sign, or go through the Moynahan Hall entrance...

    New Mexico to New Orleans and back

    The Hollywood celeb might just have been Tom Hanks. He was very involved in the creation of the museum. Just a guess, though.

    Getting off SW Chief in Winslow vs Flagstaff

    If you choose the SL, your options would appear to be Maricopa or Tucson. I know nothing about Maricopa. As to Tucson, if you are coming from the east, you likely will have to have a night in a hotel before picking up your car the next day, unles you Uber to the airport if car rental is open...
