We booked awhile ago, Tickets to and from Trenton would be about $45.00 more Northbound and another $ 45.00 more Southbound. So don't think I really want to change tickets we have to Trenton.

Can you board train at a different station then what your ticket says? Have ticket from MetroPark, Edison NJ to Roanoke, Va. I assume I can still board with same ticket at Trenton Transit Center can't I that is South of the Metro Park Station ? Just want to verify this can be done before I try it?

Since we board in Roanoke going northbound we will have no problem getting a forward facing seat since #134 starts there in Roanoke, just a little worried about getting a forward facing seat when boarding either in Trenton or the Metro Park heading southbound on # 171? What do you think our...

Would that include backwards seats on the NEC Roanoke to Boston and Boston to Roanoke routes? Business and Coach Class cars?

Last Night we were on Amtrak# 171 from Trenton to Roanoke. Something weird happened, want to know if something like this is common on riding this pr any other routes? We were only a couple minutes late on all stops up until between the Culpeper stop and the Charlottesville stop. We literally...

Why such a long delay amtrak 171......Boston to Roanoke.....yesterday. 3 and 1/2 hours late arriving.

That is correct, had 2 coffee's, 4 bottles of ice tea and 2 bottles of water, all free on Northeast Business Class, also my Wife and I had 3 oversize suit cases, was allowed with no problem, anything goes as long as you can manage on your own. Only real issue we had which was disappointing was...

Trying to find out what's todays NorthEast#176 is doing but this was last night to Boston, looks like it still hasn't arrived. What's up with this? https://railrat.net/trains/176/

I'm going to be on business class train for 8 hours,they have to allow me to get more then 1 free drink for that amount of time don't they? How do they keep count if I had my free drink or not?

I guess we better grab something the night before in Roanoke and take it onboard the train in the morning, maybe some philly cheese egg rolls and some chicken tenders. Yes, I have been tracking the train for a month or so, yes its always a few minutes different, sometimes longer or shorter as...

I found this one menu on amtrak, but this can't be right it is(hot selections), says something about hot hamburgers? https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/menus/national/National-Cafe-Menu-0822.pdf When the train stops in Washington, DC to change engines...

Menu Options on Northeast Regional Amtrak #176 from Roanoke to Boston, what is available? Does anyone have a menu they care to share as to what is available? If sandwiches are available are they freshly made on the train?

Did you go on a weekday or weekend train? where was your destination stop? We had a chance to see the weekend train there last Saturday that left there at 4:30pm. I would guess no more then 10 people boarded the train the even we were there. The weekend train however doesn't use the Full Car...

Sounds like we will have plenty of options for our luggage. Getting on the train at it's originating location will also greatly help since we will have pretty much the run of the train when we get on. Right now only about 6 seats are reserved at this time in Roanoke. I guess to be on the safe...

That open area in front of those seats on the left is that for a handi-cap wheel chair person or do some people also store luggage in that area? Would there also be an area forward of this area for a luggage rack of some kind on the floor of the car near the exit doors.?

I can only wish our car would look like that........The #176 train from Roanoke to the North has the 2 + 2 seat pattern ( 16 rows.) Our seats will have to be narrower then what you pictured, and our aisle will be smaller too. If our overhead storage looks like that, that would even give us...

Pictures of the inside of a BC car would be greatly appreciated, luggage rack, overhead racks and behind row 14 seat's open space. I have seen the inside of a BC car that is half Cafe and Business seats, just have never seen inside of the full business car with 16 rows, last 2 rows with tables...

So then what row ahead of row 8 do you think has a full window? If as you say there is a luggage rack at the front of the car I think I would feel more comfortable getting a chain of some sort and tieing all my bags together in that rack so I don't have to worry about someone taking one of my...

We might have been okay with just coach, but we are on train for 450 miles. Just thought BC would give us more room for luggage, leg room and less traffic going in and out of car. I think we are going to be on for like 15 stops. 8 1/2 hours We just have to be ready to get off at our stop with...

Great information ! Rows 15 and 16 have the large tables right? So you say there is room behind row 14 to store luggage. Would that be 15"to 20" wide so maybe we could put our 2 larger suitcases(31"x14"x19" and 31"x12" x21") behind our seat? The door to get on and off the train is only by the...
