That's good to know, thanks. From Google images the station seems to be near a truck stop, very industrial area. Uber from there to my Airbnbn is about only about $15 for a short drive, and most likely they're used to going there to pick up passengers.

I would throw everything out before going to the airport. Which kind of defeats the purpose since I would probably need that stuff more on the second part of the trip in Phoenix... Thank you for your tips!

What do y'all think about doing NYC-WY in coach? It's 48 hours. With "social distancing", trains are running half-empty. I figured, given my small size, I can lay across the two seats or use a good neck support device and sleep ok since it won't be crowded?

Cheyenne seems pretty anodyne. Phoenix doesn't! I'm staying in Scottsdale though. I know their Light rail goes to Mesa and, I think, Tempe. Probably will spend most of the time there, and will go to Phoenix once just to check it out. I won't be driving so Tuscon isn't on the map but I hear good...

Yes, I'm waiting to see how I feel in Phoenix. Will definitely rely on Uber/Light rail if walking feels unsafe.

Definitely will. Thanks!

Thank you, I will definitely look into a panic siren thing. One thing I do have is very good situational awareness. I'm hardly a naive little thing that just wants to be nice and looks for the best in everybody ;) It's long overdue that I get some self-defense tools not only for travel.

I avoid that thing like the plague. I hope those Thruway buses Amrtak uses aren't Greyhound? I've taken one from WI to CO years back. Don't know how I made it in one piece. They did lose my bag and the driver shouted at us regularly. I also hear they have no problem not picking up passengers at...

I was thinking more about the safety on all those stations, waiting for connecting trains and buses (the bus from Phoenix to the train is at 1AM by a fast food restraurant), and walking around the city once I'm off the train. I'm not worried about safety aboard. So you can calm down, Zephyr.

Thank you for those pointers. Yes, there's a bus from Denver to Cheyenne. And I'm learning that the trains don't run daily so a lot of planning is involved indeed. I thought the "Denny's restaurant" stop was the closest to Phoenix. I looked up the address, it's in the northern part of the city...

Hi All! I'm getting ready to take my first long-distance trip NYC-Cheyenne, WY (woohoo!). Then I'm flying to Phoenix. And after that, if I still feel like it and the hurricanes have passed through - taking a Phoenix - New Orleans train - and then back to NY. With everything going on, I feel I...
