    The Amazing Birthday Trip.

    Any photos from the California Zephyr to share? How was the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to Toledo? I'm happy that you were able to be on your "Holy Grail" on your birthday!! Are you ready for your senior year at school?

    Opinions on Cardinal-Meteor connection via CVS-RVR thruway bus?

    I took the AmBus from CVS to RVR in April. It was a nice bus with only Amtrak passengers, I don't recall the scenery, but the ride was enjoyable.

    Lviv - Odessa - a journey on Ukrainian railways

    I've been to Kiev, but have never been to Odessa or seen the Black Sea. We are considering a river cruise from Amsterdam to the Black Sea next summer. Thanks for the photos, they were most interesting.

    Arriving in Philadelphia

    Rental cars are available in Lancaster, not far from the Amtrak station. We always have a meal at Miller's near Ronk, PA. Delicious Amish food and you can watch the Amish farmers tending their fields from the rear dining room.

    "Handicapped" roommette for the able-bodied?

    Shortly after my back surgery, I had the H room on a Viewliner. It was a nice room, spacious and with a large bathroom. It was comfortable. The electrical outlet was in the front wall (cords were on the floor across the room) and on several occasions, passengers would open the door...

    Meal Service into South Florida

    We arrived Winter Haven, FL yesterday on the Silver Star. Had lunch when we departed Tampa. The LSA told us that was the last dining car meal for the Star until January 31, 2016 - or perhaps forever.

    Points Purchase Limit is Raised (but price per point increased)

    Thanks for your advice, Jim. I'm happy to report that my transaction was honored and completed. I received an email from Amtrak advising me the transaction was completed.

    Points Purchase Limit is Raised (but price per point increased)

    I think I screwed up. I previously purchased 15,000 points for me. Recently, I purchased 5,000 points for another person, then I realized that I had gone over the limit. My credit card was charged for the second purchase, but no points were delivered to the account for which I purchased...

    SWC justing sitting at KCY station

    I'm in the Metro Lounge in Chicago. The Southwest Chief and California Zephyr are delayed a minimum of one hour due to track flooding. Some of the Illinois local stops have been advised that alternate transport is being arranged. The Metro Lounge is overflowing with people. I am lucky to...

    TylerP42 tries to be like Auntie C

    Great trip report Tyler. You were kind to accompany your grandmother on the trip. Maybe on your next trip on the Cap, you will be in the sleeper where it is usually more quiet than in coach. Sounds like you had a nice visit to Chicago, although short.

    Winter Consists?

    I was on #92 yesterday. The sleepers were on the front of the train. The H room and Bedroom A were facing the direction of the train. Bedroom B was facing the rear of the train.

    Was my letter to Amtrak too strong?

    I find the letter to be appropriate and well written. I can see your frustration. We have changed two trips from the Star to the Meteor due to the absence of the dining car.
