    Amtrak running extra trains around Thanksgiving?

    Where do they get extra cars? I thought there was a shortage.

    $66 billion for Amtrak

    ....which would mean increased costs over time! So I don't think management would want that. But then again Amtrak is a government funded entity.

    Help with Points Breakdown?

    Thank you Amy. Now that makes sense. I don't know where I got the idea it was based on miles traveled but am glad to understand how it works.

    Help with Points Breakdown?

    I recently made a trip on a NE Regional from BAL to NYC and back the same day. It is almost 200 miles from BAL to NYC but it appears as though I only got credit for 63 miles each way (not including the double mile bonus). Please help me understand. Thanks!

    Northeast Regional discussion

    Thanks. I thought it had something to do with safety. Was this a result of fatal accidents on the NEC?

    Northeast Regional discussion

    Yesterday I was on a train from BAL to NYC. Three times I noticed someone along the track holding a red circular sign with a "W" on it. I was curious what these sings mean? Thanks!

    Thanks for your perspective. I think we will go with the reservation we have. Any information on when all the V1's will be replaced with the V2's?

    We are booked in a bedroom on the Silver Meteor north bound, train car 9811, room B. How can I determine if this is one of the new Viewliners? And if it is not how can I change it? Thanks!

    Viewliner I and II discussion

    i‘m in a V1 and it is really looking tired. It needs to be refurbished soon. Are there plans to refurbish the V1’s if they are not going to be replaced?

    I'm on train 97 in a roomette and it is the original Viewliner. I was just curious as to when all the Viewliners be upgraded to the Viewliner II? Is there a schedule posted somewhere? Thanks!

    Is there a way to book a certain car so I get a Viewliner I? Or do I have to call to request it?

    Atlantic Coast Service discussion

    I'll be taking train 91 from BAL to FL in early May. I'll be traveling alone and would like to book a roomette. How can I determine whether I get an old Viewliner or the newer one? I may be an exception but I prefer the older Viewliner with the toilet in the room. Thanks!

    Auto Train discussion

    Things happen, like all flights being delayed this morning because of a computer problem. And a derailed freight train caused this problem. But again, who is responsible for resolving the issue? And was there a sense of urgency? And if the information is correct that they were stranded in...

    Auto Train discussion

    IMHO the problem with such delays is the lack of information and the appearance that no one cares. I've been delayed for hours on Amtrak and trying to understand what is happening is very frustrating. Who is in charge and what is being done to mitigate a difficult situation? Answering those...

    I really don't think they care that much about "the books" and that is the problem with government subsidized corporations. But I do understand the need for the subsidies.
