I have a Floridian trip in early February and am curious if anyone has information on boarding #40 in Richmond, VA. Is there any priority boarding for sleeping car passengers? Assuming an on time departure of 12:45 PM, will lunch be served to passengers boarding in Richmond? I am in car #4010...

My experiences south of DC to Richmond Staples Mill is the train is practically empty, perhaps 100-150 onboard spread out among the 8-9 cars. Going North, the Conductor usually blocks off the majority of the cars to save for DC boarding. A bit more crowded going North, especially with the...

This is the first I've heard of this committee. I'm surprised the Commonwealth of Virginia is not represented therein. When it comes to corridors, new equipment and a decent level of State funding, Virginia sure comes to mind.

My guess is the trains you named do not stop in Ashland.

You are wrong on so many levels. Six to 10 shots is roughly half of the typical police service pistol. Police always carry a back up gun. Granted missed shots could hit innocent people. The Lone Ranger is fiction. Regarding training, I'd ask what police academy did you attend? I have a...

Thank You.

Thank you. Apologies for the late reply, had some water damage at the house that required us to move out for a bit. Question, Where do you access the elevator you mention? I have researched the west concourse and that also appears to be a good option. Thank you in advance.

I have a mid January trip on 49, sleeper ticket. I have never boarded out of Moynihan lounge. How does that work? Thank you.

Room 1 is more in the middle of the car just past the bedrooms on the same side of the car. Rooms 1-4 are my favorites due to the location mid-car. The link below has a floorplan of the viewliner sleeper.

It will be interesting to see where the La Salle/Peru stop would be. The station is still there but is a lawn and garden store now. Our family used to ride the Peoria Rocket in the 60's returning from family visits to and from RVR. My great uncle was a conductor on the Rocket.

It was the Carolinian. I watched it pass south of Petersburg and it did have two locomotives.

I was lucky enough to ride twice with Mama J. The second time she gave me a guided tour of the fairly new VL II bag dorm. She wore a huge rodeo type belt buckle with the Amtrak logo. What a wonderful SCA.

I have tickets for a trip to Boston from Richmond. I have a separate coach ticket to Washington and a sleeper ticket to Boston. Does anyone know what the process is for making the transfer from coach to sleeper? Would I have to leave the train and enter the station? Can I just hang around...

If I recall correctly, when I rode 65 back in the sleeping car days the SCA was based in BOS and overnighted in NPN.

How many times does it take to find out?

Search "Self Defense Key Chains", this might do it for you. My daughter has one. I also noticed a svelte 5" Amtrak SCA had one on her set of keys. Practice throat punches, would make anyone think twice.

Fine work!!!
