I never bothered to make a Amtrak log in account. Never needed to log in to use vouchers all these years.

When entering a voucher number, the button is "dead" when you try to validate it.

im on train 353 in b.c. on the front end w.b. to chicago. i have witnessed the engineer of this train violate a couple different rules. 1) multiple crossings that the horn was not blown, blown very late, or improperly. 2) highway crossing just west of hammond, In station fouled without gates...

We just completed a return trip from Wolf Point, Mt to Toledo, Oh. departing WPT on Sunday Aug 7. Today is Wednesday Aug 10 and this afternoon I received both voicemails and emails informing me that my departure time at WPT on Sunday Aug 7th has been changed to 04:xx pm. The time change didn't...

Any word on what has changed on the breakfast menu? I will be on 49 into Chicago this weekend. I hope it's better than what's offered on the Cardinal or CONO!!

Thanks guys. I always travel sleeper on LD trips. I prefer for the sleepers to be on the head end instead of the rear. I guess it doesn't really make much difference. However the cars at least in my opinion seem to ride smoother with less bounce and sway when up front compared to the rear.

Thank you!

We will be traveling from CHI to GSC next week. Could any of you tell me if the sleepers are on the front or rear of the W.B. CZ now? They at least used to be on the rear. The S.M's sleepers used to be on the rear too, but are on the front now as of at least last month. Thanks in advance

Just looking at a map of Fostoria, they could turn you north to TOL at Fostoria but they would have to double wye the train.

That's cool! Something must have happened between Toledo and Cleveland for them to switch to that route. I wonder if they will bring you back up north to TOL and use the normal route west of TOL or just keep on going on the old Broadway route into CHI. In a way I'm kind of surprised that they...

I noticed that 48/49 plus your train 29 is in a service disruption. Train 30 made it through Cleveland and is still traveling East to WAS. I'm not familiar with the railroads enough between Toledo and Cleveland to guess a route if they have to detour that stretch. However if they have to detour...

Actually I noticed something was going on this morning. It arrived TOL about 30 min late last night, but departed TOL about 5 hours late. Also departed Sandusky, Oh about 5 1/2 hours late. So something either happened upon arrival in TOL, or they held the train there for a while knowing what was...

At least in the past 2 or 3 years they have always offered bonus points around Thanksgiving thru New Years. I need to buy some points and waiting a few weeks for the usual bonus

So moments after boarding RKV on #29 last night our SCA asked what time we would like our beds down. The conversation went something like this: SCA: What time would you like your beds down this evening? Me: Around Connellsville, PA or 10PM would be good. SCA: Well last call is at 9pm ME...

So here is a update regarding the lunch service on #30. We rode back home on #29 last night. I asked the server about the lunch service on #30 into WAS. She said that it was up to the LSA to serve lunch or not. So if it's up to the LSA to make this choice 9 times out of 10 lunch will not be...
