I wrote to Mr. Anderson a few weeks ago regarding the Crescent that was canceled for a few inches of snow around the Roanoke area. I was scheduled to go to NOL from BHM. Ended up driving instead. Seems like the Empire Builder cancellation and Crescent cancellation are parallel. I havent gotten...

I understand fully the liability issue. What I dont understand is canceling the Empire Builder for nothing more than a normal winter snow storm in North Dakota. Or canceling the crescent for a normal snow storm in Virginia. Both cases the weather was nothing out of the ordinary for the area. If...

I parked my car at the Memphis Amtrak station for 9 days back in April with no problem. I have used Memphis station many times and have always parked my car there with no issues. Large parking lot and plenty of free spaces. The website has stated the lack of long term parking in Memphis for at...

I am currently in business class on train 20. Business class has 22 people in it leaving New Orleans. Coach is sold out. Of the 22 about half are huddled around the conductor disappointed and complaining about the amenities. Most are upset about the car being the exact same as coach, even says...
