    Large increase in Empire Builder fares?

    My brother and sister-in-law just arrived back to their physical home on the east coast after a west coast job driven by need from a couple of years ago. They came back SEA to CHI and CHI to WAS, sleeper class both legs. While I will not inquire with him about cost, I can post that these were...

    Amtrak Customer Service Agents

    I verified the last four digits of their card along with their name. It was much easier than asking someone to spell their address three times while I searched for them among the 2700 other "David Jones" in Detroit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At least it wasn't 'John Smith'...…...just...

    Question: What does "we have a runner" mean?

    Funny thing about the cruise ship input is that it is absolutely correct. My wife and I have been on a few cruises now and I swear, some of the entertainment value of watching late arrivals back to the ship from a shore excursion are worthy of Las Vegas style odds.....'will he (or she, or THEY)...

    Cruise port to Penn Station

    What PVD said about standing in line to disembark, only to stand in line at customs, only to stand in line for subsequent transportation options..................makes for a long morning.

    Solar Eclipse watching?

    Ryan, Keep this idea in the back of your mind: Check into renting a Class C RV for a week with Eastern TN as your hard target midway point, a neat family adventure on the road and with all the amenities of home away from home. Your Mother-in-Law and I have been looking for a reason to haul...

    Advice on Subletting Bed From Another Passenger? September Trip/ SWC

    At the risk of sounding inexperienced, which I am considering the concept proposed by the OP, I just think this is a bad idea all around, even if it could somehow be sanctioned by Amtrak.

    TV in Superliner

    Now, if he could just tap into the engineer's view and have it piped back to the set, well, uninterrupted forward view merrily trekking down the tracks!

    An Amtrak first........

    Understandably, the reporting of this event was not meant to be funny.......that being said.....it was damn funny! Nicely done, and well described for all.

    I remember 'Duck and Cover!'............It was always comforting to know that a sweater pulled up over your head as you sat cross legged facing the school hall way wall was a satisfactory alternative to the back yard bomb shelter..............................(Warning...Danger Will...

    3 adults traveling

    Is a Family Bedroom available on their 2nd leg? If one of the three is relatively short, it wouldn't be that difficult sleeping in one of the shorter bed sets. Food for thought.

    Rental Car on Auto Train, Anyone Do It?

    I recall commentary a few years back, not on AU, but in the greater blogosphere that someone had done something similar; the only question that surfaced when the car was dropped off at the end point was how could there be so few miles on the vehicle (remember, there is 600+ miles in the autorack...
