I was trying to book the Silver Star. I noticed that on September 5 and before there are multiple availabilities. But September 6 and after they are ALL sold out, at least that's what it says on Amtrak's website. Does anyone know why this is?

Do either of the Silvers roomettes have the toilets still in them from NYP to Miami?

Booked Capital Limited in coach, so baggage will be in baggage car. Transferring to Texas Eagle bedroom in Chicago and want luggage with us. How do we get our luggage for 2nd leg? How do I let them know that we want it with us on the TE? The 2 legs were booked separately.

Not really worried about being completed. From what Im reading it seems as if they are only doing work on certain days, but anything can go wrong at any time to cause a delay. Here is the text from Amtrak. "Track Work Affects Texas Eagle Trains 21/421 and 22 Effective Select Mondays and...

I tried calling Amtrak, but got tired of waiting to speak to someone, since our trip is a way away. Let me ask you good and smart folks out there. We have a trip to San Antonio. When I open my app and look at our trip it says, "Track work affects TE Trains 21/421 and 22". The TE is to stop...

We have already booked a trip using points from CLE - CHI, which is scheduled to arrive in Chicago at 845am. We also booked a trip using cash from CHI - SAS which is scheduled to depart at 145pm, on the same day. My question, is there a way to link these 2 trips together just in case the first...

Is there a way to pick which liner you want for a trip? I know one had or still has a toilet in the roomette and one does not.

My very own words. Amtrak is a vacation in itself. When we go to our vacation destination, we have 2 vacations in one.

What did it really mean that the crew had died?

Do I need to worry? I was told I can't mix points with cash in booking Amtrak. So, I booked CLE - CHI in coach for my wife and myself with points. It will arrive in CHI at 845am. I also booked CHI - SAS bedroom with a credit card which departs at 145pm same day. Thats a 5-hour layover. Do...

Ohhh. To be so lucky.

I'm truly sorry for your breakup. When I said one or the other, that was for levity. She read my post before I posted it so I'm not hiding anything from her. This is not going to break us apart. I just wanted to get some info on how others were handling the situation if it was a situation for...

I love riding Amtrak in a bedroom across country when we go on vacation, then we always fly back home. My wife doesn't like riding Amtrak because we do it every year. She just wants to get where we are going as quick as possible. Anyone else have this problem with their significant other? If...

FWIW...what does it mean?

Concerning your listing for bucket lists, it only applies to travel from beginning to end...I will just use one trip for example. CHI - LAX on the TE. If someone only took CHI - SAS, that wont be on the list, is this correct?
