What have you forgotten to bring with you on an Amtrak trip?

[Kbyrdleroydogg]

I forgot my fleece jacket and even with the adjustment in temp that the crewman made, I still felt cold. I put the Amtrak blanket over me.

I always forget nail clippers. I will die with 50 pairs.

 

[TinCan782]

Bottle opener.

 

[TheCrescent]

Sleep masks (a lot of light gets through curtains in sleeping cars).

 

[GAT]

Bottle opener.

And corkscrew!

I was taking a trip to Chicago for an important convention/reunion. I packed a suit for the gala dinner. I get there, and I realize...I left the shirt and tie back in Houston!

Fortunately there was a Men's Wearhouse near our hotel....

Umbrella & sunglasses, 2 things I always grab from the car after parking at the station. Fortunately, it didn't rain, and I squinted.

 

[trainman74]

Pajamas (which I'm fine with sleeping in and for walking down the sleeping car hallway to the restroom in).

 

[Railroad Bill]

Extension cord or multiple outlet plug. Using Cpap or other electronic devices can be a problem if you need more than one outlet

 

[IndyLions]

Cash! Tips on Amtrak trains are one of the very few places I use cash any more!

My last trip was overnight in coach on the way out, and then in a room on the way back. For the coach portion, I forgot to bring my ski cap in case the coach was cold. Fortunately, it was a comfortable temperature (I had to take off my jacket in order to not be too warm under a blanket).

I have to remember to bring a tablet, or chromebook with me. My brother and I are in coach class aboard # 97 and have received a painful reminder on why an electronic device is necessary.

I forgot my teddy bear once. <sniff>

Toothpicks

Deck of cards!

Deck of cards!

They used to sell decks of Amtrak playing cards in the cafe. I have a deck which I bought many years ago. I don't know if they still do.

Haven't seen any Merch on the LD Trains in several years.( pre-Pandemic)

The Coast Starlight used to sell really great items in the Sadly missed Pacific Parlor Car, and most LD Trains had T-Shirts, Mugs, Cards, Kids items etc.
