can anyone give advice if october trains should still run as normal? i know they still have to vote and from what i’ve read it’s very likely an agreement will be reached but if not the tentative agreement ends 2 weeks before my trip. going to nyp from georgia aboard the crescent 🌙 there’s still...

Hey! We're taking the Amtrak from TCA to NYP in a few months. There's not a lot of info about the TCA station on the Amtrak site and I wasn't able to get a lot of info when I called an agent either. My main concern is parking. Can anyone confirm if I'm able to park at the station and leave the...

The agent who booked our trip said it is doable apparently! Since the kids of a certain age I suppose.

You guys are awesome! All of this advice is super helpful. I should've added that it does snow where I live in Northern GA but I'm sure it's nothing like what something at 7,000 feet can get. Main problem here is black ice, and my current vehicle is not snow friendly so I usually just stay home...

Please bear in mind I'm a resident East Coast girl that's never been anywhere but Florida & Georgia 😬 LOL

OKAY total fail here. I picked a trip and wound up choosing roundtrip GA - Flagstaff in late December. I was so excited, spoke with a lady on the phone who helped get me and the kids into two separate roomettes next to eachother. Booked the hotel, and then went to call the car rental company to...

It is to experience train travel, as economically friendly as possible lol! It's really just a leisure vacation trip, wanting to see as much as possible. It seems as though while more expensive, the cost of the sleeper cars is worth it.

Another first timer question... I can't afford Roomettes the entire way but for the longer parts of the journey I can swing it. However it would save SO MUCH MONEY if I just went with Coach there and back (total of 141 hours/6-ish days on the train round trip, but we are getting off and staying...

Thank you all very much for your replies! I was planning on the Hyatt (if open) it seems like a nice hotel. And definitely want to check out the French Quarter anyway. Maybe we will go a day early :-)

If you're trying to catch the Sunset Limited in New Orleans from the Crescent, there is an 11 hour layover and it's overnight! Seems the obvious choice would be having to get a hotel, unless Amtrak provides accommodations in the station? We will be going on our first Amtrak trip soon and looking...
