    Why and how often are trains run completely backward?

    In 2018, I rode backwards from NOLA to Memphis. I'm prone to motion sickness but made it OK. Dramamine is my friend.

    Positive comments about Amtrak?

    Just returned from vacation using #58 & #59. Both trains were clean (roomettes & rest rooms). Wonderful ride to NOLA & back.

    Thank you. That cleared that up for me and probably others as well.

    Will my AGR points stay with BOA or transfer to new CC bank?

    Will I Be Penalized For Canceling trip using AGR points?

    I too have had a pleasant experience with AGR. I just cancelled my 2020 vacation to San Francisco due to my high risk status to COVED-19. Used both Amtrak CC and points. All refunded with no cancelation fees. Thank you Amtrak.

    Riding backwards SEA to CHI

    In 2018, I rode backwards from Memphis to NOLA in a lower level Superliner on the CONO. On return trip, backwards again. I did not know that seats could be rotated.

    I was in Memphis on June 21, 2019. I made a special trip downtown to Central Station to check out the construction situation. The hotel is still under construction. When finished, it will be a Hilton Curio hotel. I called Hilton and was told the hotel would open in September '19. Amtrak...

    LaQuinta Inns, no points on two bookings so far

    I quit staying at LaQuinta Inns because of this very reason. Amtrak needs to investigate.

    Roomette by Family Room- Too Noisy?

    I concur with Dakota 400. I had Rm 11 on the SW Chief from CHI to LAX in 2017. Foot traffic was pratically non-existant, no noise issues with people training and de-training, and no noise issue from occupied family room. Easy access to toilets and showers. I also noticed less sway on bottom...
