That's too bad. The Capitol Limited was the only Superliner train east of Chicago (other than the Auto Train of course).

This may have already been answered - will the extended Capitol LTD from CHI to MIA use Superliner or Viewliner equipment?

The "sold out" status for 91 between NYP and WAS continues into March of 2025!

Started watching yesterday and got interrupted. I plan to resume today. Hopefully there is more consistent coffee service in the sleeper. It’s always been a swing & a miss (mostly miss) in my experience!

Can you believe Amtrak Vacations are misleading potential customers with this image depicting Flex Dining meals? Given the quality of the last few Flex dining meals I've experienced, I'd much rather eat the plate! I believe these are the Caprese skewers served on western routes with traditional...

What if Silver Star passengers could get off the train in Orlando, take an Amtrak-provided shuttle bus to MCO, and then have thru ticketing on Brightline to Miami?

I was Select Plus but had nowhere near enough TQPs to keep either Select Plus or Select. However, they allowed me to keep Select status 😊

It really depends on the diligence of your SCA. On a northbound trip on the combined Silver Star/Silver Meteor (The "SuperStar") in 2022, there were five (5) sleepers. I was in the rearmost car. Walking through the other cars to the diner, two of them had coffee waiting for their passengers. The...

Simply quoting what the SCA referred to them as. I agree with your sentiments for sure! 👍🏽

Without question the worst Flex meal I ever attempted to eat was last August on the westbound Lake Shore LTD out of NYP. We opted to dine in our Roomette. Instead of the foil-covered aluminum containers, our food was brought to us in uncovered black plastic trays. The food was lukewarm and...

I just wrote Amtrak, letting them know I am not pleased with this new restriction. If they are going to keep reducing amenities and increasing prices, what’s the point in paying for business class at all?

Yes, I was on the Maple Leaf (63/64) in September of 2022 and all we had to do is go to the cafe counter and ask for what we wanted. What’s so frustrating about Amtrak is each crew makes up their own rules. There is no consistency whatsoever.

I just called Amtrak Guest Rewards to inquire about the rules for complimentary drinks in business class on the Northeast Regional service. They claim business class customers are now limited to just one (1) complimentary nonalcoholic beverage. My wife is currently traveling with friends on...

I once had a bedroom on the Silver Meteor that had dried chewing gum on the seats. My wife and I used Purell hand sanitizer, the edge of a coin and keys to scrub the gum off. I made a complaint to Amtrak and they sent me a $350 e-voucher. From your description, your room was much dirtier than...

I never knew about this bus between Detroit and Windsor. I don’t think anyone I know in Detroit has ever heard of it either.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I was able to purchase two (2) Lounge Day Passes for 3,000 Points. They are good for one (1) year from date of purchase. Since the holder of a pass can bring one (1) guest, two were plenty so all three can enter the lounge.

Question: I plan to purchase Amtrak business-class tickets for my wife and two of her friends for a girl's night out. I'm not traveling with them. I was hoping to get them access to the Metropolitan Lounge at NY Penn Moynihan Hall. I have Select Plus Guest Rewards status. However, Amtrak said...

There were three (3) sleepers out of Penn Station.

Despite the efforts of three (3) different crew members, the right seat in my Roomette in 4911 would not let down to form the lower bed. So, my SCA moved my wife and I into the handicapped room in 4912. Wow, this room is so spacious! A very nice upgrade on the house from Amtrak! 😊

The LSA in the diner is new and made a mess with dinner. The orders were messed up and the food was cold 🥶. My SCA came on the intercom and apologized for the mishap.
