    Check In Question

    Yes I see that on the ticket now that you mentioned it. Great! So check bags at baggage counter, go to the lounge and relax, or get lunch somewhere in the station and then wait to board. Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the assistance. It is appreciated!

    Check In Question

    We are traveling on the Capital Limited from WAS to CHI tomorrow. We arrive at WAS on a regional train. Am I correct that we can check our bags and get our bedroom assignments in the lounge at WAS? Or do we need to go to a ticket window? Thanks?

    Boarding Pass (or Amtrak's version of the same)

    Thanks guys and gals. I printed a copy of my ticket plus got the Amtrak APP and loaded the ticket on my iPhone. So I'm good to go!

    Boarding Pass (or Amtrak's version of the same)

    We will be leaving the BWI Amtrak Station for our trip to East Glacier (BWI-WAS-CHI-GPK) shortly. My wife and I are booked on the same ticket for the duration. Will we each get a "boarding pass" at the BWI station? Or do we get on the train with the one ticket we have? The same question applies...

    Chicago Layover

    We will be traveling to Glacier Park later this month and we have a layover in Chicago. We are scheduled to arrive at 8:45 AM and will be departing again at 2:15 PM. Where would be a good place to have lunch in the vicinity of the station? Thanks for your assistance!

    On Time Performance

    I remember seeing a link to a website (I think it was a website) that showed the historical on time performance for various trains. Could anyone give me some direction as I can't seem to find it now. It would be appreciated. I am particularly interested in the Empire Builder arriving a GPK...

    Silver Service Florida to BAL

    Thanks for the correction. Apparently I wasn't paying attention.

    Silver Service Florida to BAL

    Neither of the trains, Star or Meteor, have dining car service according to the Amtrak reservation website. Both show the "red" triangle which states, "Silver Star Trains 91 & 92 - Dining Car Temporarily Removed, Resulting in Lower Cost Sleeping Accommodations Option Effective through April 30...

    Silver Service Florida to BAL

    My wife and I are planning a trip from Florida to BAL in February. I went on line to start the booking process and noticed the red triangle stating that there is no dining car service available on the "Silver" trains. Somehow I missed hearing this news. What's going on with the dining car on...

    Dinner service on Autotrain

    We will be heading south on the Autotrain on 1/26. I know there have been some changes relative to dinner service. Are the dinner times still 5, 7, or 9? Also does anyone know the menu offered? Thanks!

    EB Delays

    Great data. Thanks for posting. Would it get worse, stay the same or get better in the late summer? I would think weather would not be a factor then.

    EB Delays

    I've been reading a lot about the delays on the EB because of freight congestion, etc. Which prompts my question. Are the delays typical for both going east and going west? Or does one direction have better OTP? The west bound EB is to arrive at East Glacier at about 6:45 PM (IIRC). If one...

    Silver Meteor hits truck in Florida 11/7/14

    Condolences to the family. It is a sad story repeated far too often. Many, many years ago when I was taking my drivers test I failed to slow down and look both ways at a railroad crossing and for that I failed the test. The state policemen giving me the test explained just how dangerous...
