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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Im looking at the timetable for the Texas Eagle 21/421 out of Chicago to LAX. The train departs Chicago at 145pm daily. I see at San Antonio the train arrives at 955pm daily, then departs at 245am on Thu/Su/Tu. Please help me understand something. Since it leaves Chicago daily, if I catch it...

A while back on Amtrak's website I saw where I could buy so many points and get bonus points for free. Today I went there, the points were still there to purchase but the bonus points were gone. I called Amtrak but no one ever answered the phone. When I send emails, I never get a reply...

Im trying to figure if its better to use points or just pay for a trip myself? What dollar amount is the same as 1 point? Or another way, how much is 1 point worth?

Will they serve breakfast on the Cap Ltd. when this train is scheduled to roll into Chicago at 9am?

Does anyone know if I can transport an old WW2 rifle in my checked baggage? It will be without ammunition. I brought it home from Europe after the war and I'm going on a trip to visit relatives and want to give it to my son.

Is there a way to monitor the Capitol Limited's location? I need to catch it at 259am in CLE going to CHI and it would be nice to know what time I had to go to the station. Trains seem to be late a lot and I would rather wait at home if the train is going to be hours late.

We are travelling on the LSL and then staying overnight in a hotel before boarding the CZ the next day later this month. The trips are not connected. Do we need to do the Covid check-in 24 hours before each trip or just the first trip?

I'm going to go from Cleveland to Miami. I went CLE - NYP - MIA years ago. The 2 trains were connected on my booking. Now when I try and book it, they want me to go CLE - WAS - MIA. Why can't I go thru NYP? The only way I can do this now is to book the trains separately. Anyone know why...

We will be on the CZ for the first-time next month from CHI to EMY. We want to know what to be on the lookout for in seeing the scenery that passes us? We will be in a bedroom, so we don't know what side the window faces. If possible and it's not too much to ask, let us know what's on each...

Im trying to understand the difference between business class and coach class. Either way you are still sitting in seats and not a room. I do know that business class has more legroom, but is that the only difference? Are all business class seats in a separate car from coach class seats?

Vaccinated and boosted, do we need to get tested before our Amtrak trip? Looked on Amtraks website and could not find any info. Leaving next week.

I have no disability but I would like to try one of the accessible bedrooms on Amtrak because it's huge and you can see out both sides of the train. If it's not sold out on a particular train by a certain date before a train departs will I be able to get it or do they just leave it empty?

I went to check and see if the price of my future trip has dropped. When I input CLE to CHI on the LSL on Apr 28, 2022 the price is $96 in coach for 2 seniors. When I input CHI to EMY on the CZ on Apr 29, 2022 the price is $1066 with a superliner bedroom for 2 seniors. Now, when I combine...

I hear so much about bucket pricing, can someone explain them so I will understand? Or tell me where I can go to read about them?

I dont know how safe they would be if I just left them on the baggage racks for a 3 day trip, so can I lock my bags to the baggage racks instead of taking them upstairs to my roomette? I would not leave valuables in them.
