I understand you do not want to cancel the room, but briefly cancelling it is probably the only way to change reservation names around, especially if you are the primary reservation holder. I think the primary reservation holder can get the other passenger(s) cancelled off the reservation while...

You'd need a very good agent to hold the price through a cancellation. I am not sure it could be done. I am pretty sure agents can waive cancellation fees, I had an agent get so wrapped around the axle with a modification that he wound up having to cancel and start over, with no fee. Even if the...

Only two cars, one sleeper and one coach, from the Eagle are switched onto to Sunset. They're added to the rear of Sunset.

Should be either. It only requires a one rail fare and the accommodation charge. It isn't a coupon that gets used up.

They might well allow it anyway, cannot hurt to call and ask.

One small point of clarification. ARR operates its own passenger service, they are responsible for everything. They chose to outsource onboard service, but ARR provides the whole train, not just T&E crews. Cruise lines contracting with ARR to run cruise line trains with cruise line equipment is...

The Wakefield and Sleepy Hollow seats were a lot more comfortable than any current Amtrak seats, speaking as a full size 2024 American. They were plenty roomy and well cushioned. They were like Lay-Z-Boys, especially the Wakefield ones on the El Capitan. You could bring them back tomorrow and...

You can get to all LIRR platforms from the West End Concourse on the Moynihan side. Those are intended as LIRR commuter gates.

Doh! I actually knew that.🙄

Only for NEC trains. On Empire Service trains heading south walk towards the rear of the train to get to Moynihan.

RMR bites. There's no way I'd pay those prices to ride coach and sleep in Holiday Inns, much as I'd like to ride through the Spiral Tunnels or Cheakamus Canyon again. The cherry on top is their punitive, nearly non-extent, cancellation and refund policies. As far as that Colorado run goes, buy...

Do you sleep in there? Only those who stretch out on the floor of the SSL overnight qualify for that title as far as I am concerned. Spending a lot of (conscious) time in there doesn't qualify, as far as I am concerned. You're just enjoying the ride.

If on the Amtrak/NJT level, depending on where you are you can either: -head towards 7th Ave. Opposite the NJT area, turn left and you'll see escalators down to the LIRR level. -head towards 8th Ave. In the middle of the old Amtrak concourse are stairs and escalators down to the LIRR level. In...

They still seem to be more reliable than the ALC-42s.

I've heard the same. As of last week at least the Talgo used for the 516-519 train pair was still filthy, though

They wouldn't have been in the position had they not deferred maintenance on their washracks and kept them up. All of their washracks ultimately broke down, except the one in LA.

Um, Albuquerque. Amtrak does not serve Santa Fe and Lamy is a stop and scoot stop.

1. Northbound, you get crossing the Cascades between Chemult and Eugene mid morning rather than at dusk. You also are guaranteed the coastal running between very roughly Oxnard and San Luis Obispo in the daylight. If the southbound train is significantly delayed some or all of that can be...
