    WiFi on longer routes

    Ugh. That sucks. One would think that in 2024, WIFI would be prevalent along cross country trains. Thanks for your reply!

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    Oh they don't have in room bathrooms?! That makes little sense, to me....especially for multiple people in the 1 room.

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    I am a bit confused by that chart at that link you provided. Why are there 4 rows of prices and what are the differences between each? Why also is the family bedroom less than a bedroom? Is the chart saying that the least expensive fare, say, from Chicago to Portland, OR is $1021, and the most...

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    Well how sad is that? For people like me, if i'm traveling somewhere alone, I'm going to choose rail travel and a bedroom cross country rather than flying by myself (I hate to fly) - so this takes that option right away from me now, because I am NOT paying $1300 more than I did for the same...

    Are items such as towels, bath soap etc. provided in the sleeper?

    Hi all! Is this still the case (post covid) that Amtrak provides shower towels, soap, etc for bedroom occupants?

    Hi all! So I am traveling on CONO a week from today and I have a bedroom. Am allowed to bring a bottle of wine (and a 6 pack of beer maybe?) in my carry on to be consumed in my room (only)? That is what it appears I'm hearing on message boards I checked. Is it limited to bottles or can I bring...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    OMG this scares me - as we are departing on the CONO a week from today - our train leaves at 8:05pm. I hope your experience was the exception, not the rule!

    The effect of the potential rail strike on Amtrak

    Sigh. That is ridiculous....

    The effect of the potential rail strike on Amtrak

    OMG nooooooo! :( But that is true, about the economy going even further down the toilet, so i'm sure Congress will take action. Thank you for your reply!

    The effect of the potential rail strike on Amtrak

    I have a trip on the City of New Orleans Amtrak on September 30th - I see this line is hosted by the CN railroad -- would this line be safe from the strike?
