I rarely took advantage of the snacks in Chicago. Nice choices though. I put a little ice in my small soft side cooler and usually go upstairs for a quiet comfortable spot to relax in the lounge to wait for my boarding call. Im not really in favor of letting folks bring in outside food. My...

Ive ridden Viewliner 1 sleepers (bedrooms and roomettes) at least 30+ times over many years. 3/4 of the trips the temps have been fine. Other times hot or cold depending on the season. Never had much luck at all with a functioning thermostat when needed. I always travel any Amtrak train...

Its way too small.

In a word, yes. I have done this many times in the past. After booking several months in advance I continue to check fares and very often the price of the sleeper becomes lower. I call guest rewards to make the change.

I am taking the Cardinal from Chicago to Alexandria end of August, couple days there and then the Star to South Florida. I originally booked a roomette for both legs with points. Yesterday I changed the Star from roomette to bedroom in the 9111 car. They are only running 2 cars so a reasonable...

I like Alexandria and am taking the Cardinal from Chicago in late summer.

Ive taken Silvers back home from DC to Florida for a very long time. Sleeper prices have always been in the high range. Several weeks ago I was trying to see if I could start in Seattle to Chicago early September. Found $885 or very close to that for a bedroom on the EB but didnt work with my...

Yes its still pretty early for the ivy at Wrigley. Have a fun trip !

Last visit a couple years ago it was a nice giant open area. Plenty of seating, so I didnt find myself thinking it needed a private lounge area.

Sounds like great trip ! I stay in bedroom A with a 22" suitcase under the chair , a backpack on the shelf, a couple of things hung in the skinny closet, a small soft side cooler for any snacks/drinks and i put my laptop on the chair at bedtime. I always use the bedroom shower and just wipe it...

Yikes! No injuries reported so far.

All three were so good. I would slow down and just pick at dinner to still remain hungry for the desserts.

Yes I would go for the bedroom. Much better accommodation. Nice to have the bathroom/shower.

Top priority should be getting cabinet nominees confirmed. As to infrastructure, stocks are usually forward looking. Many infrastructure companies/funds reflect in their pricing its going to happen. Does that benefit Amtrak? Somewhat I hope.

I really enjoyed the PPC experience. The atmosphere of the car probably enhanced the meal though.

Staircase and coffee area has never been an issue for me. Good choice.

Very enjoyable read. Best of luck to you guys! Look forward to updates.

I use travel insurance mainly for the cost of my summer rental house. 2-3 months. I dont include cost of air, train or car rental cost. If for some reason I got sick and couldnt travel my car rental could be cancelled with 24 hr notice, plane and train could be rescheduled ( at a cost). Im still...

Last time there they sent a car to pick me up. Just told me to call on arrival.
