Sometimes it seems like they are on a planned path to destroy a useful National passenger rail service.

We just took the Builder and of course being used to the old cooked to order meals it was a big disappointment. However the food was better that the beef bourbagnon (spelling) we had on the City of New Orleans (cold center) in 2018. we had the shrimp, veggie enchiladas, beef, and meatballs...

In That’s what we had on the Builder.

My wife and I had hoped to leave from Portland and ride through the crazy gorge. Our sleeper would have been cut into the Builder from Seattle at Spokane, but track issues closed the route. Amtrak offered us an 8 hour bus ride or a Cascades coach passage to Seattle, which we took. By this time...

I have had two major orthopedic surgeries and am presently on a cane, I cannot do an escalator or THOUGHT I could not. Recently... Went in at Penn station’s 8th and 33rd entrance - no ekevator. My wife recruited a guy to carry my bag down and I did the steps. Stumbled around and found Club...

Hello All, I am new to the forum. We took the CITY OF NEW ORLEANS on May 28th and had to do the bustitution. But what really bothered my wife and myself was the poor selection of food in the dining car. I think only one "hot" dinner, Beef Bourganon and mixed veggies, was available, and it had...
