    The Amtrak Website Has a "New Look."

    I never bothered to make a Amtrak log in account. Never needed to log in to use vouchers all these years.

    Modified Dining Car Service on Lake Shore Limited Effective 7/20/16

    Any word on what has changed on the breakfast menu? I will be on 49 into Chicago this weekend. I hope it's better than what's offered on the Cardinal or CONO!!

    C.Z. consist

    Thanks guys. I always travel sleeper on LD trips. I prefer for the sleepers to be on the head end instead of the rear. I guess it doesn't really make much difference. However the cars at least in my opinion seem to ride smoother with less bounce and sway when up front compared to the rear.

    C.Z. consist

    We will be traveling from CHI to GSC next week. Could any of you tell me if the sleepers are on the front or rear of the W.B. CZ now? They at least used to be on the rear. The S.M's sleepers used to be on the rear too, but are on the front now as of at least last month. Thanks in advance

    Rare Mileage Surprise?

    Just looking at a map of Fostoria, they could turn you north to TOL at Fostoria but they would have to double wye the train.

    Rare Mileage Surprise?

    That's cool! Something must have happened between Toledo and Cleveland for them to switch to that route. I wonder if they will bring you back up north to TOL and use the normal route west of TOL or just keep on going on the old Broadway route into CHI. In a way I'm kind of surprised that they...

    Rare Mileage Surprise?

    I noticed that 48/49 plus your train 29 is in a service disruption. Train 30 made it through Cleveland and is still traveling East to WAS. I'm not familiar with the railroads enough between Toledo and Cleveland to guess a route if they have to detour that stretch. However if they have to detour...

    #30(26) ???

    Actually I noticed something was going on this morning. It arrived TOL about 30 min late last night, but departed TOL about 5 hours late. Also departed Sandusky, Oh about 5 1/2 hours late. So something either happened upon arrival in TOL, or they held the train there for a while knowing what was...

    SCA service seems to be going downhill fast

    So moments after boarding RKV on #29 last night our SCA asked what time we would like our beds down. The conversation went something like this: SCA: What time would you like your beds down this evening? Me: Around Connellsville, PA or 10PM would be good. SCA: Well last call is at 9pm ME...

    Dining car lunch service removed from #30

    So here is a update regarding the lunch service on #30. We rode back home on #29 last night. I asked the server about the lunch service on #30 into WAS. She said that it was up to the LSA to serve lunch or not. So if it's up to the LSA to make this choice 9 times out of 10 lunch will not be...

    Dining car lunch service removed from #30

    Yes that's exactly the way it always has been in the past and like I mentioned the way it was in late April too. The way it was announced was that Breakfast hours were now being extended to kind of act as a "brunch" and lunch was not being served. Our SA said that if the train was more than 3...

    Dining car lunch service removed from #30

    Maybe this is old news or discussed before. If so I'm sorry for bringing it up again. We rode #30 into WAS the other day and was informed onboard by our sleeper attendant after asking about the lunch service times that they are no longer serving lunch on #30. However breakfast service has been...

    CL sleeper car numbers

    I just checked this train's sleeper availability on its return trip back to CHI as #29 on Fri Oct 2. All rooms are completely booked out of WAS. I checked the station pairs of WAS - RKV. So maybe they are adding this 3rd sleeper for a special event / tour out of DC on Fri. Instead of deadheading...

    CL sleeper car numbers

    I have a feeling you might be right Bill about the idea of another sleeper was added. Yesterday there wasn't 4 bedrooms available on this train. In fact I think there wasn't any bedrooms available. However early this morning there was a minimum of 4 available.

    CL sleeper car numbers

    So I just booked a bedroom on #30 CL departing on Wednesday night and was able to get the lowest bucket on the Bedroom. The E-ticket shows I'm in room E of 3002. My question, is this the crew dorm car or does the CL run with a seasonal 3rd sleeper? I thought the crew dorm was number 3009. And...
