A lot of hype for something that happens almost yearly! lol

Can you do local pickup?

This is how I see cafe-lounge cars ran, with half coach half sleeper car areas (except for SSL) being run before COVID (Have never ridden Cardinal pre-covid).

Recently the cafe car is off limits except to order food/ drinks due to COVID. Not sure of how it was before COVID.

A. I was going eastbound, yesterday. Glad your cardinal trip was nice and safe. B. I saw people get on at different stops and sit next to people. I mean, I can't be 100% obviously but they didn't talk much or act like they knew eachother at all. C. My main issue was the lack of mask wearing...

Hoping to be back for good, or for awhile. Moving to a state with more regular rail travel and hoping to "invest" more in Amtrak

I decided to attempt to upgrade my seats for the return trip to a roomette (with my mother). I had two separate reservations (one for me, one for my mother). I call in, and tell them about what happened. The reservation agent apologized and sent me to customer relations. The relations...

I just boarded the Cardinal and it appears socially distanced seating has been thrown out the window. I'm noticing there are no more seating assignments, people sitting directly infront/behind each other and across the aisle from eachother. I'm also seeing people who don't know eachother seated...

I've been traveling the rails for about 12 years, have never seen the upper level bar used, other than maybe once where the car attendant was doing some sort of event and had a speaker system set up... (now that I remember that was a park guide talking about a national park we were traveling...

I'm wondering if they were empty though, being at the end of the train, and the lower numbers of travelers.

Curious how much, if any vehicle damage was done.

Rode back today. $2.65 Old Town to Santa Fe.

Actually, yes! She came around before we left Santa Fe Depot.

Hello all, after taking San Diego Santa Fe Depot to San Diego Old Town Transit Center, which was a 6 minute ride costing $3, I'd like to try to compile a list of the shortest/cheapest rides in the system. If you have one, please post below. Also what was the shortest and cheapest (before...

4 do I usually pay 1.50-2 for a tamale. But I'm also Mexican and know where to go.

Today I noticed (and purchased) tamales on the Surfliner Menu. They are 4 dollars per tamale, and are microwaved. They aren't bad. Authentically made, but the flavor is a bit lost with the microwaving. Are they exclusive to Surfliner? Or the West Coast? The cafe car attendant told me they are...

I personally don't think I've seen anything better because of being late. My first big trip was when I was 12 with my grandmother, we went to Seattle on the Empire Builder. We went through Glacier at night because of delays. My grandmother hyped me up to see Glacier the whole time and I didn't...

Hey friends! I am trying to see if it's possible to book Chicago-LA via the Texas Eagle. Just to see if it was possible, I suppose. Maybe a future trip if I can save some money and have the time. Whenever I try booking it, it never gives me the option. Only gives me the option to take the...

Detroit-Windsor crossing takes about an hour if it's peak times, or busy. I've had times where it took me 5 minutes to cross, and times where it's taken 2 hours. I'd suggest getting over there early. There's things to do, stuff to see in Windsor. Nice mall, and a great casino (Caesar's) about...
