long-term parking at or near Schreiver, LA, station?

[tricia]

Has anyone here ever done this? We're looking to leave a car there for a week or more, preferably right at the station, in the latter half of September. Advice about cost and/or logistics would be much appreciated.

As with all travel plans in this uncertain time, this one is uncertain. Details to come, in the "member Amtrak trips" forum, if we actually book this trip. Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no cost, and I would assume it'd be relatively safe... there's just not much going on there, with hardly anything around the station itself. Looking at Google Maps there seems to be 9 or so parking spots. I would say it's a pretty "remote" station.

Thanks for the response. Have you actually been to this station?

No but I’ve seen it from the train many times.

Call the local police and ask them. I did that at Jessup, GA, a number of years ago. They were very nice and even offered to keep an eye on my car if I left my name, phone and plate # with them.

I had no problem. Small town police are a lot different than big cities.

The station at Schreiver is basically a BNSF crew yard. You can't even tell its a station but it is. I would guess your car should be fairly safe there.
