Wow, I'm spoiled now! We decided to get a roomettte on the Silver Meteor #98 because our boarding time is 2:42 a.m. and although it was smaller than I imagined (room enough to stand and spin) the beds were more than sufficient... they were downright comfy! Our SCA was Kurt, who was sleeping...

Looks like fun! Thank you for sharing the pictures. What year did trains switch from steam to diesel or electric?

I have only been on the Silver Service trains on the East Coast... really enjoyed your video. One day we want to travel to Chicago and I was wondering about the LSL. Thanks for sharing your experience.

We picked up our daughter & granddaughter who traveled from NYP on #91 at the Petersburg, VA station on 07/22. It was our first time at that station as we live between two... Rocky Mt. NC and Petersburg, VA. So we drove one hour north instead of 45 minutes south to see them sooner. My...

From RMT to NYP we have purchased a roomette for the first time! My question is... at that early morning hour (2:42 a.m.) will the car be already set up in nighttime mode and will the sleeping car attendant give us instructions or just quietly show us to our room? The trip isn't until...

Great idea! Two places I've always wanted to visit New Orleans and Chicago, and on a Superliner! Definitely a trip for our future. That's why I love this forum... so helpful.

That was it! Now I noticed the large name painted on the side.... haha

Wow! ~~burst~~ So much for my trip to New Orleans... I guess I'm bound for Chicago. It must have been the sightseer lounge because I found a picture of a dome car and it wasn't that. Thank for the reality check.... but it was still neat to see the difference.

We were on the Silver Star from NYP to North Carolina yesterday and on our stop at Washington DC (pretty long because they switch from the electric engine to the diesel) I got out to stretch my legs and the train parked on the next track was a double decker and even had a dome car!!! Being a...

Loved the pictures. It looked like you had a great trip. Hope you had a wonderful experience. Being from the east coast... I haven't traveled much out west. I envy you. FLtoNC

Thank you so much for that detailed reply... I think it must have been the Silver Star... which is ironic... since next Friday I will be boarding the Silver Star for NYP! I knew I liked that train for a reason. haha

I finally registered after 6 months of reading and to tell you the truth, I don't know what took me so long! But you are right, there is definitely a sense of "community" here. I think you have made a good point ... and it was real easy to register.

Thank you, how much do you tip? FLtoNC

Arriving at Penn Station NY on Friday, July 8th on #92, & if on time, at rush hour... since I am traveling with my daughter and 2 year old grandchild we will have luggage, stroller and car seat! I remember from an earlier trip with my husband, the train attendant asked if we would need...

I was born and raised in Florida then I went to "see" the mountains of N.C. but met and married a native North Carolinian and never left! and here it is 28 years later... haha I registered today but have been reading the forum since our trip to NYP on the Silver Star in March of this year to...
