I know there is two sides to every story and this seems to have escalated quickly regarding this story. It started by two sisters playing cards in the lounge car and ended with them being kicked off the train in CVS Seems like trains that run without a dinner and only a lounge are the ones...

Parking is now controlled by the hotel and you pay via the Premium Parking app. There are signs all over the parking lot with instructions on how to pay. There should be no issue leaving your car. I've done it for years before and after the hotel took over. They have have a security guard...

On my trip back east on train 2 last Friday I got the joy of having the same woman who wanted me to pay $25 on my arrival from train 1. There were no issues because I was leaving on a sleeper, but she did say she was retiring in one month after 41 years.

It was probably the same woman. When I showed her my arrival Sunset Limited sleeper ticket she said this was not valid since I was arriving and not departing and I would have to pay $25 for a day pass since I was connecting to the Pacific Surfliner. Totally not familiar of the policy. Basically...

Currently sitting in the lounge connecting to Pacific Surfliner train off of the Sunset Limited this morning. Definitely needs training on the rules. Had an arrival sleeping ticket as well as a Select Executive card and the lady still said we need to pay $25 for a day pass despite having 2 ways...

The mandate does not apply to Chicago’s 2 airports so who knows how it will apply to Union Station.

Freight railroads say Amtrak needs to build more than 23 miles of new track; Alabama port filing also opposes passenger proposal https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/csx-ns-say-gulf-coast-passenger-service-would-devastate-freight-operations/

All LD trains north and south stop at Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton, and Newark. The northbound Crescent makes all those station stops, but now also stops at BWI, Princeton Junction, New Brunswick, and Metro Park. The northbound Crescent is the only LD train that makes the stops...

Looking at the Crescent schedule, 20 now makes most of the local stops on the NEC while its southbound counterpart does not. It looks like the Crescent is the only long distance train that now stops at BWI, Princeton Junction, New Brunswick, and Metro Park. Wondering why 20 does, but not 19 or...

Except the date in the screenshot is 11/25 which is thanksgiving day and is still bookable on the Amtrak website. Would they be doing track work on thanksgiving day and why can I still book this exact trip on Amtrak.com? Weird.

NS does not handle the train any different with the new schedule vs the old, at least the first few days. Since going into effect on 6/6, it still loses an hour or more between MEI and BHM and has been an hour late or more into NOL every day since going daily. Of course we knew changing the...

Connections are now showing up in Washington to the Capitol Limited and Silver Meteor. Schedule looks to arrive in Washington about 30 minutes earlier on Saturday and Sunday vs Monday thru Friday. Rush hour in NYP would be my guess as to why.

Looks like they are showing the connection to the Cardinal in CVS. Connection time is 3 hours. Still not showing connections in WAS to the Capitol limited or Silvers. It would be about a 2 hour connection to the Capitol Limited. Less than an hour for the Star and about 5 hours for the Meteor...

Right now they are not showing any connections northbound in CVS to the Cardinal or in WAS to the Capitol Limited or Silvers. All connections show up southbound though.

Amtrak has removed the phrase from their website saying you can remove your mask while in your private room with the door closed. It says required at all times except for actively eating or drinking or taking medication. They are citing federal policy that was just signed. Oh boy.

I was looking to head west after the holidays from Chicago to Salt Lake City on 12/26 and it’s completely sold out.

The website was updated overnight and the connection now shows available. I messaged Amtrak yesterday and they said they would send it off to the web team. I guess in this case they did.

The connection time is 5 hours. I’ve booked this connection at least 3 times a year for the last 10 years. Most recently in June. It works in reverse. I don’t know what they did to the website. It was showing up as of last week when I checked a trip.
