Hey everyone, I will be traveling to Boston on 448 in the next couple of weeks. Amtrak.com used to have a separate menu for the leg east of Albany, now I cannot find it. Does anyone have recent experience on this segment? Is there still the separate menu (and if so, what is it?), or is it more...

Probably taking the Winnipeg-Churchill train this summer with my wife. We rode The Canadian last summer and the a crew member mentioned that he more often works the Winnipeg-Churchill train saying it lets you see another side of Canada - my wife was intrigued and wants to go. I rode the train...

I took a trip on the Churchill train (the Hudson Bay) back in April 1997. At that time the train ran with a baggage care, two coaches, a diner, and a Chateau-series sleeper. Over the years I have heard and read of this train occasionally running with a Park-series car, but haven't found...

Taking an informal poll and soliciting opinions on accommodations as the wife and I are planning to ride The Canadian this summer for the entire route. We are deciding between getting two roommettes (cabins for 1) or a bedroom (cabin for two). I am an early riser and she is a late sleeper - as...

Hello, I got a call from Amtrak yesterday saying there was a service disruption for my trip to Boston this weeked due to flooding between Albany and Boston. The agent said there would be a bus to get me to Boston. I am wondering what to expect now that I will be finishing the trip in a bus...

Mrs. lyke99 and I will be traveling to Boston on the Lake Shore Limited in a few months and I was wondering what the meals for sleeping car passengers are like east of Albany. Thanks in advance!

I see that the eastbound Empire Builder left Grand Forks 17 minutes late this morning, but suffered a service disruption before reaching Fargo. Anyone know what happened?

After our wedding the week before on a chartered train in Spooner, Wisconsin, my bride and I were dropped off at the Winona, MN depot for our Amtrak Adventure/Honeymoon trip on Tuesday June 29. The train pulled in on time and after the crew change and smoke break, the train pulled its Portland...

I'll be heading to the Portland and Seattle next week via the Empire Builder. Watching the Amtrak Status Maps and Amtrak Delays websites, I've noticed a recent decline in on-time performance. The delays usually start westbound near Milwaukee - is there trackwork in that area or another reason...

Hey everyone, The soon-to-be Mrs. and I will be taking Amtrak on the honeymoon. On our last day in Seattle, we need to be out of the hotel by noon and the Empire Builder doesn't head east until 4:40. I would imagine submitting my checked baggage early won't be a problem, but am hoping we...

Future Mrs. lyke99 and I will be boarding the Empire Builder at Winona, MN headed westbound this summer for our honeymoon. The train is scheduled there at 7:50pm. If it is running on-time, should we expect to be offered dinner? My understanding is that if so, the SCA will make a reservation...

I see by the "3D Tour" of the Superliner bedroom on the Amtrak website that there are reading lights on either end of the couch, which could be used by the person sleeping in the lower bunk at night. Are there reading lights for the upper bunk or near the armchair? Thanks in advance.
