Why are sleeper prices so high right now? I always book a year ahead of time, and I have never seen prices so high for the same route I have always taken. Fullerton, CA to Kansas City. Right now a roomette is running $647 one way. Yikes!

I've taken the Chief to California many times always boarding in Kansas City. Our Christmas this year was to be spent in Las Vegas, NV. The closest I could get there by train was to get off in Kingman, AZ. My "ride" had to drive in from Las Vegas to pick me up. Train arriving in Kingman was...

I did a search for a thread that might have photos of the new menu items........specifically on the SWC. Anyone see one?

So, I have read on these boards that the current administration will be getting rid of long distance trains soon. I had planned on taking the SWC at Christmas to Arizona from Kansas City. Will I be refunded 100% by Amtrak if they shut the SWC down before then?

I want to take the SW Chief to as close as I can get to Las Vegas, Nevada. Should I get off at Needles or Kingman? The chief arrives middle of the night, so what would be my best choice of transportation to get to Las Vegas?

Chief is arriving only an hour late in Kansas City this morning, but delayed in KC for 3 hours after arrival? Anyone know what's going on? I've got a train to catch in Chicago later today!! Do you think it needs repairs or something while in KC?

Had to run up to Chicago for a couple of days. Didn't want to drive. I've taken this trip before and the Chief is usually late coming in to Kansas City. I watched the time status on the Chief for a little over a week and it was running 4 or 5 hours late DAILY. I'm used to the Chief being an...

Are pillows and blankets offered or available in coach for overnight travel (like they are on airplanes)? Also, for men well over 6 feet, is there anywhere in coach better to be seated (more leg room) and how likely is it to get that seat if it's available? Does the coach attendant take that...

How is the ride down to New Orleans from Chicago? Rough tracks? It mostly travels at night, so I want to prepare everyone for whether they are going to be able to sleep or not!

We have never checked luggage before and it makes me nervous with Amtrak. Do you think we are safe checking bags from Kansas City to New Orleans? The only reason I might risk it is because we have such a long layover in CHI and don't want to have to lug our luggage around with us. Does anyone...

My daughter and I are going to be traveling The City of New Orleans in a roomette, but my husband, son, and nephew are going to be in coach the whole time. When I make my reservations for meals in the dining car, are my husband, son, and nephew going to be able to join my daughter and I in the...

We will have a few hours to kill before boarding the City of New Orleans heading to Memphis. Is there anything within walking distance in this area. Maybe a trolley that runs in front of the station that we can hop on and off? Also, will we be able to store our luggage securely at the station...

We will board the City of New Orleans around 8 p.m. in Chicago. Will they still be serving dinner on board for those passengers heading south to New Orleans?
