Last year my first trip HOU to UTI I paid $166 for one way senior coach. Same trip this year is $269, I think I'd rather fly.

I road coach from Longview to Chicago, train was full. My seatmate was okay, we talked a lot. But I couldn't get comfortable, I'm used to sleeping in a recliner so that wasn't a problem. It was the train horn all night long, seams like TX has a lot of crossings. Next leg was Chicago to Utica NY...

I had no problem opening the link.

Yes I got one after my trip to Utica NY.

I had a 7 hour layover in Chicago, it sure was nice staying in the lounge. Plus I took a shower after being on the train overnight. And I had another night ahead of me, I traveled in coach. Someone was nice enough to give me pass.

When I was first interested in traveling I checked the prices for coach from Houston to Amsterdam NY. I started with about 6 months out, $128 one way senior fare. When I finally pulled the plug it was $166. I bought my ticket and had my first trip. I'm thinking about doing it again but now the...

I used the cafe on two occasions as I was traveling coach. One morning the female attendant was very helpful as the credit card scanner wasn't working correctly. She was patient and friendly. Next morning I wasn't even greated by male attendant, "want your bagel heated". Told him no, I didn't...

One thing I noticed traveling from Longview to Chicago was hearing the horn, a lot of road crossings. Then from Chicago to Utica NY, didn't notice the horn so much. Both trips were through the night.

No additional fees for the last leg.

It's a one way and last leg. @OBS thanks for your reply.

Adventure starts Monday, first leg Houston to Longview on a bus. Then to Chicago overnight. Followed by overnight to Utica NY, I originally bought a ticket to Amsterdam NY, with a two hour layover my brother is picking me up in Utica. Should I inform Amtrak I'm not getting back on?

Thank you that explains it.
