    Amtrak consists for Thanksgiving!!!???

    Train 80 the Carolinian ran with an extra buisness car to Richmond then added 2 coaches in Richmond for the trip to New York. Train was full with minimal delays mostly due to boarding the train. so it has 2 buisness cars, 6 coaches, baggage car, and cafe car which was full also.

    Richmond, VA

    I was just at Staples Mill the other day. This is the station most people use. You can get a ride to rent a car there and its only 10 minutes or so to downtown.

    3rd train Raleigh to Charlotte?

    91 gets into to Raleigh in the morning and could connect with proposed train from raleigh to Asheville. That could also work in reverse. I go Greensboro to Raleigh to Florida but cut that connection very close but the Piedmont is normally on time if not early so it can be done. I live in...

    3rd train Raleigh to Charlotte?

    The Double track issue is correct. The amtrak employee did say it wouldn't happen til after the doubletracking is completed. North Carolina already has the cars and are refurbishing them and waiting on the track work according to the Amtrak employee. Anthony

    Baggage cars on regionals

    Of Course I helped them but that wasn't the point. You can't help everyone and others were helping also. I support Amtrak and would help and have in any situation that would help them. I helped unload the sleeper car on the Cardinal when it was taken off the train in Indy last year. Those...

    Baggage cars on regionals

    Well, After reading the responses thus far, I still think they need to come up with something. I could handle my bags but what I saw were elderly people struggling and that should never be allowed to happen. If Amtrak is to recover then it needs to add service not take away.
