Is it possible to have a redcap come to the Flyaway LAUS arrival point? I realize that they wouldn't want to wait there for the bus to arrive, but am wondering if there is a phone, or person who would be able to call one. We have never used an Amtrak redcap, but unfortunately, this trip we...

We have never been able to make it to Philippe's ... but we will be on the train from SAN-LAX on a Saturday afternoon, before catching the FLyAway to the airport. Would there be any problems if we check our luggage SAN-LAX ... walk to Philippe's upon arrival into LAX ... get the food to go ...

We normally go NB on the CS, but this year we will be doing the SB route. (We have always taken the Flyaway bus ... so easy ... from LAX to LAUS ... but, again, it has always been in the morning.) I do not want to sound paranoid ... how safe is catching the Flyaway if the CS arrives late into...

May 2012 we will be arriving from Vancouver into Bellingham for 3 days. We have never been to Bellingham before -- so any info on: Amtrak station / hotels or motels / and ease of car rentals would be appreciated. I am currently reading through tripadvisor.com -- any suggestions on hotels/motels...

Well, we should have realized that something was wrong when our CS (LAX-EUG) was ON TIME. (We have done the CS over 12 times, and it has NEVER been on time!) What a great start to our long journey!   Two days later, at dinner in EUG, we received a call from Julie saying there was a “service...

I do know what Amtrak's term "guaranteed connection" means, but I do have a few questions.   We will be on the SEA - EB connecting to the CL to WAS: what are our options if the EB is too late for the CL? Will they bus us from an earlier stop? Do they put us in a hotel for the night, and then...

I need some help choosing a wireless carrier to use on our Amtrak trip. We would like to take our netbook with us, but do not want to sign a long-term contract with a carrier. We have read that we will need to buy the USB equipment from the carrier, as we will be doing a month's service at a...

We are planning on walking to Giordano's during layover in CHI this fall ... however, when I Google walking directions it gives me 3 different options. It does say that some routes may be missing sidewalks/pedestrian walkways, but it doesn't say WHICH routes ... which route would be the...

I know that the LSL has a toilet in the roomette, but are there other toilets that can be used? I saw the diagram of the floor plan, which showed a shower at the end of the corrider, but did not see any additional toilets.

Luckily, we have always embarked and disembarked at checked baggage stations. 2011 we are planning a trip that will involve 2 no-checked baggage stations: LWA and WGL. We will be taking the CS from LAX to EUG; the Amtrak Cascades from EUG to SEA, and then the EB from SEA to LWA (Leavenworth...

We will be flying into BOS a few days before our cruise ... and then taking Amtrak back to the West Coast. I know that everyone says not to pick up your tickets until the day of travel, but I worry that we may arrive at BOS Union Station shortly before the trains departure ... if the ship is...

We're planning another train trip for next April and need some help. We can leave from either San Francisco or Los Angeles and are going to Washington D.C. We will fly one way, and take the train the other way. Which train is more scenic: between SFC (EMY) or from LAX to CHI? Which...
