I’ll be in NYC today, and thought I had some 1 day Club Acela passes, I don’t! Anyone who has one, and would like to share (give) with me, much appreciated!

The Chepe Regional and Chepe Express trains are real. This is a bucket list trip. NO JOKE. It is. These areas of Mexico are super-safe. The fares, even premium fares, are "cheap" in comparison to the US dollar. I suggest at least a one night, if not three night, stay over in the Copper...

Seems like I'll leave the not-so-wintry climes of the East Coast, and be out in SoCal (Orange County specifically) doing a couple of shoots with the crew of Bar Rescue for about 10 days. However, I've got some weekend time on my hands, and was looking for ideas to hop on Amtrak. I'm thinking of...

Looking for advice, both rail and non-rail. Biggest question I have, is the upgrade to EXECUTIVE on the Chepe Express worth the cost? Thanks. Here's my tentative itinerary: Jan 18 (Sat)- ARRIVE IN CHIHUAHUA CITY Chihuahua City is the capital of Chihuahua state, the largest state in Mexico. It...

Have a real chance to ride the Chepe from Los Michos to Divisadero stay a night or two, then the regional from there to Chihuahua, and fly back to USA from there, this coming January. Info on the web is pretty scattered. Hey if "The man in Seat 61" doesn't have much on it, I don't feel too bad...

Wouldn't it be nice................ Once on web page, scroll down to bottom

After ten years of never using mine, and watching them expire or sending to someone else to use, I find myself needing companion coupons again this year. I usually travel via sleeper, and never needed them, but now that my son is at Parris Island, SC for Marine Boot Camp, I'm making "day trip"...

We have a group going, at least six traveling from SAV to BAL end of April, and wondered what the total number of seats are in the "normal" biz class seating on the Palmetto. Is it 2-1 seating, with the cafe in the middle of the car? Thanks!

I booked my wife and me from BAL to SAV (sleeper) using the last of my points, and paid for my three kids, (coach) on the same train for an end-of-April 2016 trip on the Meteor. Coming back, we are all on the Palmetto, (Biz Class) which stops at BWI. BWI is way more convenient, (Closer, safer...

My son, God willing, we be graduating from the US Marines boot camp at Paris Island on April 29th. I'd like to take the Palmetto from SAV to BAL on Saturday, April 30th. There will be six of us, so I guess to maximize my companion pass savings, I'd need three. Anyone have any they can help me...

Co-worker found out I was the oddball taking the train south from BAL to ORL for our company's annual conference, and he ended up sharing my roomette. ("Yes" we both got bonus AGR points!) His home-land is India, so he is no stranger to overnight trains, but had never taken Amtrak, outside of...

I'll be in the Boston area this weekend, for an "Intervention" of a long-time friend... Anyway, it should be over by 10:00am on Saturday, and my Acela doesn't leave til after 1:00pm on Sunday. Soooo, any rail-fan related advice for killing a couple of hours later Saturday afternoon? I'm not...

I have to travel from Boston to Baltimore on the 26th. I see that Boston South/BackBay to DC, in Acela 1st class earns 750 points But, If I break it up, and do Boston Back-Bay to NYP on Acela 2173, arriving NYP at 7:45pm. "Layover" at NYP until 9:05pm, then hop Acela 2175, ticketed to DC...

I need to look at some annual reports from the late 70's and early 80's, but don't want to crawl up into my attic to seek them out. Besides, I'd like to see them in a .pdf anyway. Does anyone have a link? Also, anyone remember the name of the VP of Marketing for Amtrak in 1981? Was it "Bill"...

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I found it interesting, From Jan of this year.

While working the NRA show in Chicago this week, a delegation of four Amtrak personnel came by our booth, ostensibly interested in POS options for both Cafe and Dining care service. I quizzed them extensively about WHY they were shopping, when it was speculated that the POS roll out was to...

While some might welcome it, in the US, on Amtrak, Domino's would have a HELLUVA time figuring out if the train was "on time" or not....... Craving for a pizza, but travelling on the train? No need to limit your menu options for train journeys.
