    Atlantic Coast (Silver/Palmetto/Carolinian) Service discussion Q4 2023 - 2024

    I was trying to book the Silver Star. I noticed that on September 5 and before there are multiple availabilities. But September 6 and after they are ALL sold out, at least that's what it says on Amtrak's website. Does anyone know why this is?

    Atlantic Coast (Silver/Palmetto/Carolinian) Service discussion Q4 2023 - 2024

    Do either of the Silvers roomettes have the toilets still in them from NYP to Miami?

    Checked Baggage (luggage) discussion

    Booked Capital Limited in coach, so baggage will be in baggage car. Transferring to Texas Eagle bedroom in Chicago and want luggage with us. How do we get our luggage for 2nd leg? How do I let them know that we want it with us on the TE? The 2 legs were booked separately.

    Texas Eagle CHI - SAS

    Not really worried about being completed. From what Im reading it seems as if they are only doing work on certain days, but anything can go wrong at any time to cause a delay. Here is the text from Amtrak. "Track Work Affects Texas Eagle Trains 21/421 and 22 Effective Select Mondays and...

    Texas Eagle CHI - SAS

    I tried calling Amtrak, but got tired of waiting to speak to someone, since our trip is a way away. Let me ask you good and smart folks out there. We have a trip to San Antonio. When I open my app and look at our trip it says, "Track work affects TE Trains 21/421 and 22". The TE is to stop...

    Changing a reservation

    We have already booked a trip using points from CLE - CHI, which is scheduled to arrive in Chicago at 845am. We also booked a trip using cash from CHI - SAS which is scheduled to depart at 145pm, on the same day. My question, is there a way to link these 2 trips together just in case the first...

    Viewliners or Superliners

    Is there a way to pick which liner you want for a trip? I know one had or still has a toilet in the roomette and one does not.

    Amtrak vs spouse/partner

    My very own words. Amtrak is a vacation in itself. When we go to our vacation destination, we have 2 vacations in one.

    What did it really mean that the crew had died?

    Non-Connected Reservations (points/cash)

    Do I need to worry? I was told I can't mix points with cash in booking Amtrak. So, I booked CLE - CHI in coach for my wife and myself with points. It will arrive in CHI at 845am. I also booked CHI - SAS bedroom with a credit card which departs at 145pm same day. Thats a 5-hour layover. Do...

    Amtrak vs spouse/partner

    I'm truly sorry for your breakup. When I said one or the other, that was for levity. She read my post before I posted it so I'm not hiding anything from her. This is not going to break us apart. I just wanted to get some info on how others were handling the situation if it was a situation for...

    Amtrak vs spouse/partner

    I love riding Amtrak in a bedroom across country when we go on vacation, then we always fly back home. My wife doesn't like riding Amtrak because we do it every year. She just wants to get where we are going as quick as possible. Anyone else have this problem with their significant other? If...

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    FWIW...what does it mean?

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    Concerning your listing for bucket lists, it only applies to travel from beginning to end...I will just use one trip for example. CHI - LAX on the TE. If someone only took CHI - SAS, that wont be on the list, is this correct?

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    If it was my guess I would say they're trying to sell it before the train leaves.

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    Where can I go see the info that CHI-SAS serves frozen meals, and has no dining or sightseeing car? Its not that I dont believe you, I would just like to know how to find info like this on my own, in case I try another train.

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    Not at that price. For 2 seniors in a BR they want $2418, I think it is. I will find a different train. If I have to, I will do CHI - SAS or ELP, then fly the rest of the way to LAX.

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    I do not understand all those cities you are adding. My trip is one way from CHI to LAX in a BR on the SWC. And the highest price I see is $2233 for one adult. Am I reading the bucket listings wrong?

    Fare Buckets - and when do they increase/decrease?

    I think I waited too long. That $2118 fare shot up to $2233 which I see is the high bucket for my trip. When I put more than 2 adults in 2 or more BRs there are only roomettes left. And last week I could input 8 adults in 4 or more bedrooms. Any chance things may change, or should I start...
