We are trying to get passport cards for our trip to Montreal on the Adirondack. What a pain in the rear. I figured I would at least buy the tickets but no, need passport numbers to even make the reservation. OK, went to the post office Saturday to get passports, oh that will take 4 to 6 weeks...

Might have an opportunity to move from the east coast to the west. What is the Amtrak train service like out there? How does it match with the northeast corridor? Any ideas on this area of the country. Thank you

Any ideas, when we take the train this summer we would like to have access to the lounge at the NYP station in New York City. I could use 5000 AGR points and buy 5 passes but we will probably never use the other four or at least not within one year. Is it possible to but one and trade AGR...

In mid July we will be taking the train from NYC Penn Station to Montreal on the Adirondack. I am now getting nervous about all the issues that come with taking a ride on an unreserved train. Does this train usually run full, I assume with only one train daily it would be quite popular. There...

I just noticed I had booked travel for four adults and noticed that the final price was more than I figured it would be. Example the total price for four was 1050 with (2) roomettes, the rail fare was 250 each and the roomette was 214/room. When added to cart though, the total roomette price...

My daughter and friend leave tomorrow morning for Baltimore from Lancaster PA. and I asked this before and you guys gave great advice then. I was hoping you might be able to give a little more detail on what might work for them. You mentioned they have light rail, bus or cab from Penn Station to...

My daughter (19) and her friend are going to Baltimore Convention Center for a Anime Convention in July. Will they be safe making the trip on their own? How far and how much would cab fare be from station to the convention center? She is not a seasoned train traveler but we did it about a month...

Would you get off at Orlando or Kissimmee station if traveling to Disney World? I have always gotton of at Orlando station on past trips but have not made the trip in 20 plus years. Not sure why I never went through to Kissimmee. Is there any reason you would not do the Kissimmee station? Thank you

We will be looking to book travel for next years trip, want to make sure we get the lowest bucket price for sleepers. If we are traveling about a week and one half, will we have to buy one way tickets or will they allow you to purchase the entire trip even though the end trip will be out more...

We will be taking the train from Lancaster PA to Williamsburg VA. Our current schedule is to leave Lancaster at 11:55 AM, arrive Philly 1:09 PM. Train for Williamsburg leaves Philly at 2:45 PM. I know Amtrak almost never runs on time, do you think we will have any issues with having enough time...

First time taking the CZ all the way to Emeryville (April 1-4 2011) and I need all the help I can get. How would we get from the train station to SF. We would like to stay in San Francisco or would it be wiser to stay in Emeryville and commute everyday? What hotels could you recomend? Thinking...

I am sorry, I know this is a question often asked and I think I have even asked in the past. I am not a smart man when it comes to this stuff or else I am expecting a product to do more than it is meant to. Is it possible to have the scanner scanning multiple frequencies. To give an idea of what...

Now that you tackled the voucher issue for me, my next question concerns the Salt Lake City train station and renting a car after the Zephyr drop us of at 11:00 PM. I really don't want to waste a hotel room for one night just so I can rent a car. Since it will be so late and who knows how late...

I received a voucher for 100.00 from Amtrak as compensation for being bused from Omaha to Denver last year, I guess to compensate for loss of sleeper accomodations. I know they are good for one year but now the question: Must the travel be completed after one year or just purchse of tickets. My...

After being bused this summer from Omaha to Denver for my trip to Glenwood Springs, I am going to try again. We are going from Omaha to Salt Lake and would like to know if this is a good time to travel, mid January? Obviuosly flooding should not be an issue or track or tunnel work. Is there...

I was looking at making a reservation on the CZ for some time next year, OMA to SLC and noticed if I make a reservation for three of us and book the family bedroom, it is only 215.00 added on to seat fare. All other months would be 630.00. Why such a discrepency, I would think this would be...

I must be the dumbest person on the face of the earth. I had purchased the pro 97 scanner so I could listen to Amtrak CZ transmisions. Radio Shack programmed the radio for all my local police, fire and the usual. How on earth....or can I enter the individual frequencies that the CZ uses, I have...

By any chance has anyone heard how the testing is going for the BNSF line that the CZ runs on through southern IL?. Last word was if all went well, BNSF would statrt operations tomorrow morning on that trackage. Is there any real push for Amtrak to restore full CZ service? are they loosing money...

Does anyone know, where is all the equipment for the CZ? Will they have to run a train from the west first back to Chicago or is all the equipment in Chicago to make up the train on it's first run when all service is restored

:angry: Just infomed by Amtrak that my CZ trip July 3 will be via bus from Omaha to Denver. Can't help mother nature I guess. Questions please: does Amtrak charter a bus or do they haul you to the Greyhound station? Say it ain't so!!!! If I have to take a normal Greyhound route I will...
