I've been going onto Amtrak.com and double checking fares for our upcoming trip. Have been able to get better pricing a couple of times. Imagine my surprise when I looked at my Chicago to Denver leg on Saturday July 2, and "We don't have train service matching your request" pops up!!! Does...

Hi, y'all. Ok..so I'm a country girl at heart. Have never been in a taxi/uber/lyft or whatever else is out there now. We're doing this cross-country trip from Harrisburg>Chicago>Denver. Then Denver>Sacramento>Seattle. Then Seattle>Chicago>Harrisburg. We are spending a day in Denver and 2...

We will be boarding late afternoon in Portland on the Empire Builder. The Dining car won't be there for the first leg of the journey, so what does dinner look like now that Full Service has returned? And must we eat it in our roomette or can we take it to the lounge so we can enjoy the views?

Hey y'all. This trip we are planning next summer cross country..... at this point, from DEN to PDX, it puts us in Sacramento for a 9 hour layover from 2:15pm until midnight. What is there to do to take up time there?? Or are there other travel options to do that wouldn't put us just sitting...

For our cross-country trip, we are doing a mixed bag of coach seats, business, and roomette. Is it possible you could call the day of travel to see if there were available bedrooms? Or just ask if there is a possiblility of getting a room? Have any of you done this or heard of others doing...

(I first posted this with a title of "Hung up after 2 hr 39 minute hold to AGR", but the mods changed it????) So....... I booked a roomette for our trip next summer for one of the legs of the trip. I was planning to buy the multiuse pass (10 legs in 30 days) for the rest of the trip. So when I...

Hey y'all.......so this trip next year is evolving. (Harrisburg>Chicago>Denver. Denver>Portland. Portland>Chicago>Harrisburg). It's gone from the idea of using the 10 segment Multi-ride pass to reserving a roomette for the Portland>Chicago segment (so excited to upgrade to that! 😊). Now that...

Still working on this trip plan for July 2022. We are traveling from Harrisburg, PA to Chicago, to Denver (stay for 24 hours) to Sacramento to Portland (stay for 24 hours) to Chicago (via Empire) to Harrisburg. My question is regarding buying the tickets..... If I buy my tickets for each...

One of our stopovers will be Pittsburgh in July 2022. We pull in at 8pm and leave at midnight. What's the surrounding area like? Walkable at night? Anything within walking distance? or even open in the evening? Or will we be needing to just stay in the station for 4 hours?

Hey, me again. So I'm becoming addicted to this board thanks to you! I was wondering how many attendants and how many passengers there normally are on the train. We are doing cross country in July. Harrisburg>>Chicago>>Denver>>Sacramento>>Portland (via EB)>>Chicago>>Harrisburg. And is it...

Hey y'all...... me again! So, I'm looking at the segment from Portland to Chicago. The one page I found lists major stops at Spokane, East Glacier Park, Fargo, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Milwaukee. How long are those stops. Long enough to get off and stretch legs, or is it "you better stay on...
