We just traveled Pittsburgh to CHI to Dallas and back via trains and had no delays until the ride back into Pittsburgh this morning. The train was due to arrive at 4:30 a.m. but was held up till 6:30. I was getting off at Pittsburgh anyway, but I felt really bad for fellow passengers in the...

On my latest Cap Ltd trip, June 15, I took an adult and a 2-year-old so we booked a family room (first time). We liked the family room very much, and once we looked around we went right to breakfast. As we waited for our food, our 2-year-old ate a packet of sweetener and a pat of butter. I...

Four of us (three adults and one child) are flying to Dallas,TX tomorrow. I am miserable because I HATE airports. However, the train to Dallas cost more one-way than our round-trip airline tickets if we booked the family room, and I'm sure not going coach all the way from pittsburgh to dallas...

We are headed to DC from Pittsburgh on Capitol Limited in June. I went out to book the trip and all I could get by way of a sleeper for 2 adults and a 2 year-old was the family room. We have taken the toddler in a bedroom sleeper before, but they were sold out for my date, so I took the family...

I am taking the Pennsylvanian to Harrisburg on Sunday but have not received my tickets. I called Amtrak and got into the weirdest conversation with the customer service rep. She said the tickets had been mailed over a week ago, so maybe the post office lost them or maybe delivered them to my...

I booked a roomette a month out for a recent round trip from Pittsburgh to Chicago. I paid no attention to the room assignment because I have never been assigned anything but a second level roomette. When I boarded I had 14 which was on the lower level. At first I was annoyed with myself for not...

I've seen questions about whether or not a meal can be booked in the station lounge when meal time is soon after boarding. I just checked into the lounge in Chicago Union Station to wait for my 6:40 Capitol Limited trip to Pittsburgh and the attendant asked me if I wanted to book my dinner. I...

My husband and I, along with our 8 month old grandson, took the Capital Limited from Pittsburgh to Chicago on April 4, boarding the Empire Builder there on the 5th, and continuing on to Seattle. We spent two nights in Seattle and then retraced our steps back to Pittsburgh. I love to read trip...
