Not exactly a missed stop, but one time I was going from Cleveland to Chicago on the LSL. There were a couple European 20-somethings that must not have realized there were two trains. The westbound train was a little late, but they just hopped on the first one that came to the station. The...

I have been involved in a couple incidents, it took 2-3 hours to be resolved.

Yes, most stops are just for loading/unloading passengers, quick stops. The longer stops usually involve refueling or changing the crew, etc. If the train is running behind, the stopped time can be cut down some if they are able to. Always check with your attendant if you can get off the train...

Yes, there is free parking at Cleveland. They lock the gate during the day, when nobody is there. So it is relatively safe. If you are checking bags, make sure to get there an hour or so before departure to do that. Both trains going through Cleveland can be an hour or so late, but rarely...

Perfectly fine. Many people used to do this in the old AGR days in border towns. We did it in Toledo several times. Since you have 6 minutes, you can probably just get off and back on. That may be easier if Lincoln is a crew change point.

We flew with Icelandair about two years ago from Toronto to Birmingham. I thought it was very nice. We enjoyed flying with them.

Sleepers were up front the first weekend in October.

Sure, you can check it through to Seattle. It may get there a day or so before you do, but it will be held in storage. You will get a claim ticket when you check it in RGH that you just show when you get to SEA.

You won't need a reservation for breakfast. Just show up and you will be seated. Dinner is the only meal that you have to have a seating time. Lunch seems to be about 50/50.

I haven't been to the station for a few years, but I haven't heard that anything changed or that it is unsafe. The closest hotels are probably a 1/2 mile walk, nothing next to the station except the football stadium. Since you'll be arriving in the middle of the night, it's probably best to get...

I've been to Giordano's (couple blocks from the station) and Greek Islands (about 1/2 mile from the station). Both were very good. I'm sure lots of people will have suggestions on other places.

We just got back from a trip to DC and stayed at the Cambria in Rockville. It was a very nice place and two blocks to the Metro (and Amtrak).

The incident has been resolved. Not guilty by reason of insanity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/man-accused-in-amtrak-stabbing-not-guilty-due-to-insanity/2015/10/15/25bfbed6-7353-11e5-ba14-318f8e87a2fc_story.html

You can also use the card for cruises to Bermuda and the Caribbean. Living in Ohio, we run up to the Falls or Toronto every couple years. We might get the cards when we have to renew the passports. Would be easier to use,

I have one company that I buy from every so often. I have to send in an e-mail each time after 7-10 days to get the points to post "pending". This past time, the customer service person said maybe it wasn't going through automatically because I use an ad blocker. No idea if that would be true...

The shuttle is very easy and convenient "door to door" service.

Amtrak says a Butler County city and a university should continue working on plans for a passenger train stop following an internal analysis of ridership numbers. Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari tells the Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News that it may make business sense to create a stop in...

Schrodinger's Card? :P
