@ IndyLions Could you report back regarding the consist. Specifically, is the lone sleeper in the front or back. Without a baggage car, transition sleeper, and possibly a second engine, between the first engine and sleeping car, the noise is unbearable. Not to mention the diesel fumes without...

Do transition sleepers have bedrooms? I am pretty sure that except for special cases, the SWC always had 2 regular sleepers and a transition sleeper, which I don't think has bedrooms.

absolutely not.

I agreed with just about everything the author said. But he discussed one subject that I have never seen mentioned in all the AU dining car/food service threads. There has been endless discussion of coach passengers eating in the dining car, but nothing about the practically empty dining car...

Being a geography buff, I would be interested in more detail. How does the Rockies and Grand Junction affect Hastings, etc. Did they skip Denver also?

This points out the difference between the thinking of a Chicagon and someone from downstate Illinois. I've left my car at stations all over Illinois and Iowa for weeks at a time with no problems.

I took the Silver Star and Lake Shore Limited back from Florida recently (early May 2023). On the SS in our sleeper there was no coffee (yes it was early); and in the other sleeper it was almost empty and cold. On the LSL both NY sleepers had no coffee (I wasn't about to go all the way to the...

I'm sure this has been asked before; but the search feature can't find it. Does the Silver Star #92 serve supper the second night into NYP (scheduled arrival 7:10PM)?

Of course AGR and the AGR credit cards are different. But the hacker got my AGR card as well. FNBO caught the bogus CC charges and refunded the amounts. In fact, I don't believe i've lost a penny during the whole thing, just a lot of time. But the scary thing was that about 2 weeks after FNBO...

We all have our complaints about Amtrak, but I recently had an almost unbelievable experience. Several of my online accounts had been hacked, but it never occurred to me to check my AGR account. As I was going through my many accounts and changing the password, phone number, and user ID, if...

"We are unable to process your request. Try again or call 1-800-USA-RAIL for assistance. (Ref.27Q28SQQ)" I've been noticing this error almost word for word on many websites lately. It's what I call the lazy programmer error. I once got this error when I was trying to log on to a bank...

To clarify, the evening Carl Sandburg 382 from Quincy to Chicago and the evening Illinois Zephyr 383 from Chicago to Quincy are still running. I suppose that means 383 will lay over in West Quincy from about 10:30PM until about 5:30PM the next day. And 382 which arrives in Chicago about...

I'm planning a 5 segment trip: Quincy, Galesburg, Denver, Chicago, NY, Tampa departing Nov 19, with 2 nights in the ill-fated 32 car on the California Zephyr. When I received that dreaded robo call from Amtrak, I feared he worst. But it merely notified us that the short QCY-GBB segment would be...

Did anyone notice that when you set up an FNBO credit card as a payee on a third party on-line bill pay system, the payment will be sent via snail mail. Most large company payees, such as BoA credit cards, get sent electronically. Snail mail is reserved for mothers-in-law and such.

I think that the "creaky" part, namely Arrow, gets a bad rap. I think the culprit is the "advanced programming" of the website. When I try to retrieve fares using Firefox, it either spins its wheels and dies, or displays that lazy programmer style error message so popular these days: I don't...

Same here except the balance due was several $100's too high. Looking at the transactions, I saw that ones from my wifes BoA AGR card were mixed in with mine. My first thought was to try to set up and log on to my wife's FNBO account to see what hers showed. But I got that new style error...

I received a postcard like mailing from Amtrak Guest Rewards PO Box 3955 Omaha, NE 68103-0955 It said my new card is arriving soon, and then a few instructions. It also invited me to visit our welcome center at card.fnbo.com/amtrakguestrewards/faq. This took me to a website that looked like a...

I have the fee card; my wife the no-fee. We both got the packet on the same day. Her packet clearly says no-fee.

I've taken the Tampa to STP several times; and it's always been a good ride. Only Amtrak passengers, and a regular large bus. My only gripe is that they closed down the staffed station that was in a storefront in a strip mall in Pinellas Park. The new "station" is an unstaffed local bus stop...

I'm not sure how these glitches crept in: A diner or diner-lounge booth was labeled "capitol limited coach class empty row" A single level train was labeled "capitol limited train from dc to chicago"
