Thank you! For some reason, I thought I remembered being able to microwave things, but it’s definitely been a long time. Glad to know before we leave.

Getting ready for our long trip NOL to BOS on Saturday-Sunday. Obviously, we will eat in the actual dining car at least once, but not looking to spend a ton of money on that. Is it still true that we’d be able to use the microwave in the cafe car? Thinking of creative, microwaveable options if...

Thanks! Yes, I was looking forward to spending a few hours in NY between trains, but if the 20 doesn’t run on time, we won’t be able to.

Thanks everyone!! I’m wondering if there’s a way to upgrade to sleeper on the train if we wimp out? Or is it even more expensive then? I checked and they’re definitely not booked (yet anyway).

Hi all! I’m planning a New Orleans to Boston trip just me and my 2 kids (10 years old and 6 months old). But we can only afford coach so far based on the prices I’m seeing. We would have 2 seats next to each other and from the pictures, it seems the seats recline enough to sleep. Is this...
