Yep, If I change the destination I now see the rooms. Has this been officially announced anywhere? I did not see in on the Amtrak site anywhere.

I was trying to book a train from Orlando to Philadelphia the first week of December and every date I checked showed rooms on the Silver Star being sold out, but there were rooms on the Meteor. I did a Live Chat with Amtrak and was told "As of right now the Silver Star won't be operating at that...

Or straps that can be hooked up like the ones on the top bunk.

I got both an old and new sleeper on my trip last week so I took the opportunity to measure the storage cubbies. Old: 36" wide, 23" deep, total height, 17", but only 12" clearance over the bar. New: 36" wide, 17" deep, total height 16", 11" clearance over the bar. I did really appreciate the...

We had lunch with them on the first leg of the trip, he was reasonably pleasant, but her, not so much, and was already giving some of the crew a hard time. On the next leg of the trip they were at dinner at the table next to us, clearly intoxicated and she was really giving the crew a hard time...

I met a couple at lunch once that eventually ended up getting thrown off the train.

I was looking at some videos of the Viewliner II roomettes and it looks like the storage cubby up on the wall is smaller then it was on the original cars, can anyone confirm this?

Taking my first trip in a couple weeks where I will potentially get a V II so I was watching videos on them and it appears that the storage space up on the wall is smaller, doesn't look as deep. This is a concern for me since we normally bring two big bags that just fit in the storage area on...

We were on the 50 on Wednesday night on the way back to Philly, finally got in around 3:20 AM. The train sat for a couple hours in various spots near Clifton Forge waiting for freight traffic to pass. We were told this was due to a backup of freight trains caused by the freight derailment in...

Thanks for all the responses, looks like it's unanimous, check the bags. We have done a couple trips from Philly to Florida and Atlanta, but this will be a first time going west so I am trying to get a handle on some of the things that are different. Thanks again. Dan

Me and my wife are planning a trip on the Capitol Limited from DC to Chicago, then the Southwestern Chief from Chicago to Fullerton, CA and will have a roomtte on both legs. I am trying to decide how to handle baggage. We will probably each have a large suitcase and a carry on bag. Should we...

I am planning a trip that will have on leg on the Capitol Limited, and I get the service alert message on the west bound 29 Capitol Limited, but the message only talks about the 30 eastbound. Can I assume that this does not effect the 29 and only he 30?
