    Sudden Cancellation of Empire Builder from July 12th to ~July 16th? *Update* Maybe have been a whoopsie due to planned track maintenance!

    This is what scares me about travel on Amtrak. I own a tour company and we used to do a long Amtrak trip each year. This year, I thought I had my tickets and when I called back needing some info, i was informed my trip had been cancelled. I had reservations for 40 people. The agent didn't...

    Questions re: “Service Disruptions” on Long Distance Trains

    wow reading the other responses, I feel i have missed something as I have never been offered the famous stew. I have taken long trips on Amtrak for close to 15 years. I own a tour company and up until recently, I have taken a group of 30-40 people on a long trip from Mid Iowa to California and...

    Most Beautiful Train Stations in the US

    I think it is nice looking, but very much a pain to use. I bring a group through here every year, and it is so long a walk and mixed up. The people are not very kind either. The way they work a group changes every year. they have us jumping from one floor to another. And by the time you get...

    Problems with group booking

    I wasn't thinking completely when i responded before. If I did a micro group, I could get 6 roomettes and 2 bedrooms in each group. plus any coach number. and the group department does more than one group for each train. as i was told. So there could easily be 2 micro groups or one large...

    Problems with group booking

    I understand what you are saying, and I am sure it is nicer for individuals to have a chance to get rooms...but limiting us to only 12 is just a little tight...and 15 or 16 rooms makes it more desirable for small group travel companies. I know if I was a big company, the rules change, but that...

    Problems with group booking

    I am working on a group booking that I had canceled from 2020 trip wanting to reschedule for 2021. Everyone on my trip has been most patient and I simply wanted to duplicate the trip for 2021. I called exactly 11 months from the day of departure. My group agent was most kind and got me all...

    Problem with a group booking

    I had a group scheduled for this year and had to cancel the trip because the event canceled. I did get most of the money returned along with a 5000.00 voucher. Now I am trying to reschedule this group and I have run into so many road blocks. I had to wait 11 months out to make reservation...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    thanks all, I have decided to try to reschedule the trip for 2020, hoping Amtrak doesn't make anymore changes to group travel restrictions...and hoping they will let me float the 5000.00 voucher I got for bad things that happened to the group the year before...it is a 12day trip and hoping all...
