Same here. I had two reservation, one I wanted to change and the other cancel. I got the change without a penalty, but was told there would be a fee for canceling. So I just let it ride since I plan to take another trip in the near future.

I believe the AGR select priority number is 1-888-707-6600

I'm one who want's that confirmation for all the reasons mentioned. It's when I make a change over the phone that it sometimes doesn't show up. I immediately go to amtrak.com and select MODIFY TRIP enter RES NO (in this case it didn't change; but otherwise you have to ask agent) either...

Since the introduction of the new baggage cars with bike racks, boxing a bike is not necessary on many LD routes. You book a bike on the same page you would book a dog. You then hand off your bike to a staff member at the baggage car and retrieve it from the baggage car at your destination...

I would download and print Amtrak's policy regarding folding bikes. Not all staff are aware of it.

I don't know anything about Utica except that you will have plenty of room to wait.

A pretty sad consist: no SSL, no transition sleeper, no baggage car, no second engine. Sleepers right behind the sole engine.

Never mind Christmas. I had to double check that the release wasn't dated 4/1.

Looks like another cut back. Sometime ago while heading east on #4, there was a freight wreck in the same area. At Williams Jct, they put us on a bus for Albuquerque and turned the train around as #3. At Albuquerque they turned #3 around and put us on it. Meanwhile, they did the same with...

I would hope that it wouldn't take a scientist to make the same logical deduction.

This sounds like a corollary to the "Nobody rides trains anymore" rule.

@Bzhayes Like everything Amtrak, things appear to have changed for the worse. In late September of 2015 hell had finally frozen over - Amtrak instituted roll on - roll off bike service at all stations on the Capital Limited, including Harpers Ferry, after GAP and C&O canal cyclist had begged...

Yes, I'm certain it was the redesign of the website which, coincidentally or not, happened at the same time as the three day a week, that caused the program to fail. So don't hope for good news if and when they go back to daily. The first version of the fare page that I worked with contained...

I assume you are saying chi-den is sold out. Just exactly how would a newbie do this?

It appears that for the second time since going to 3 day a week, Amtrak has changed its fare search page. I tried a test booking from St-Pete-Clearwater to Denver departing July 1 for two people. The result is shown below. Clicking the details drop down, shows we are dealing with a bus...

Based on a recent CZ trip, I would say that the virus has temporarily, at least, rescinded the rule you site. While we were sitting at a table waiting for our food, the attendant handed out quite of few large, filled paper bags to passengers, who proceeded to take them back to the sleepers.

I recently took a MTP-DEN round trip on the Cal Zephyr and was a bit surprised. I don't claim to be a foodie, but I (shrimp and sausage gumbo) and my wife (beef dish) both enjoyed our dinners well enough that we repeated the choices on the way back. Also, the selection of meals seemed to be...

I was about to jump in; but you beat me to it. Whether I find a solution is questionable at this time.

I noticed that what I referred to as the backup was unable to retrieve fares; but at least the slower, original one was working. But now it hanging. I have time; and I will see if I can figure out the problem. Recently Amtrak's fair finder webpage was changed, the second time during amsnag's...

I used the shower after my delayed Spring biketrain trip. I don't remember the date; but it was sometime in June.
