I am planning a trip from Gainesville,GA to Hattiesburg,MS on October 28th,with a return on the 30th. How safe will it be to leave my car parked at the Gainesville Amtrak station ?

On September 22nd,marks the 14 year anniversary of one of Amtrak's worst accidents. As many folks know on that day,the east bound Sunset Limited (2) derailed at Big Bayou Canot and went into the water. On September 22nd,lets take time to remember the victims,as well as being thankful for those...

I was wondering if there is a website(s) where I can look at Amtrak timetables from the mid to late 80's,early 90's. Any insight is appreciated

I will be taking Amtrak from Greensboro,NC to Houston Texas in July. Part of the trip requires that I spend a night in New Orleans going to and coming from Houston. I know there will be cabs waiting at the station in New Orleans. Can anyone tell me who is the best cab company to deal with in...

I noticed today the east bound Sunset Limited is going to be 7 and half hours late getting into New Orleans. I wonder if UP is to blame for this or if there was another factor involved.

Yesterday,I got a copy of Amtrak's 2007 Spring Timetable. On the page with the Sunset Limited timetable,it displayed the stops east of New Orleans with the notation about damage from Katrina. If Amtrak plans to kill the eastern portion of the Sunset,why even have the eastern stops listed along...

I am planning a trip on the Sunset Limited later on this summer. What is the fare offered on the breakfast,lunch ,and dinner menu's?

Did Amtrak ever use the PS32-8's on the Crescent or the Silver Trains?

Sometimes I like to go on Amtrak.com and check the on time status of trains #19 and 20. Today I checked for the status of 19 into Anniston,Alabama and the site said something about the train not running there today. I was curious as to whether they were doing any trackwork on that portion of...

I remember hearing of an Amtrak train called the Gulf Breeze. I know it was terminated in 1995. Was it a Amtrak budget cut? Also,where did it split off from the Crescent at? Did it make a good connection for the Sunset Limited in Mobile. If anyone can answer my questions,I'd be most...

Since Amtrak doesnt seem interested in sending the Sunset east of New Orleans again, I wonder if they would consider making the New Orleans-LA Sunset a daily train instead of tri-weekly. Also would they consider a separate train to run daily from Orlando to New Orleans.

The purpose of my trip to Anniston was to see some friends over in Douglasville,Georgia. The reason I chose Anniston over Atlanta was I didn't want to deal with traffic and the prospect of getting lost in Atlanta. Anniston is 67 miles from Douglasville,but I considered the straight shot down...

Nine times out of ten,when I tell folks that I am taking Amtrak on a trip,I hear "I've always wanted to do that." I think if Amtrak(I am probably preaching to the choir here) would improve customer service and spruce up stations(I realize money is tight at Amtrak) I think more folks would...

Tonight is my first post on here,so bear with me,lol. July 21-24th,2006,I took my 23rd Amtrak trip. I don't have quite the extensive travelogues that others on here have. I have traveled on the Carolinan,Silver Meteor,Silver Star,and Crescent,and Piedmont. 19 was actually running early into...
