    Please help me with my booking - new AGR

    I'll be taking the Pere Marquette to CHI and then heading to DAL in a roomette. If I book both legs with points, the PM coach points fare are the same as biz class. Do I automatically get booked in biz class if I'm booking a roomette? Should I just book the legs separately? Do I lose my...

    Long shot... CUS pic of area under the escalators by tix counter

    I have to meet some people tomorrow coming in on Metra and they've never been to CUS. I can't remember if it's a fountain or just a big planting area but it's a good place to meet imo. I'm hoping someone has a pic - I've image searched and no luck so far. TIA and.... Happy Holidays!

    Help with reservation/cancellation please

    Hey guys - TIA :) Is it possible to cancel part of a reservation, ie NEC, and still keep my low bucket CL sleeper fare? I don't WANT to cancel the NEC res but the person I'm meeting in BAL wants to pick me up and drop me off at WAS. They're kind of excited about the whole thing so I don't...

    Some people....

    operate under the assumption that everyone is *smart* and understands what most people understand and don't take into consideration that 20% of the population suffers from some form of mental illness. They're not always trolls, they're just what they are. I know this will get locked, deleted...

    Anyone been on the SB CONO from CHI lately?

    Preferably in the last month or so. I was just looking at the menus and saw that the SB menu isn't an abbreviated one. Are they actually serving this menu or does it depend on the whims of the staff? Because I'd like more choices than the roasted chicken or vegetarian pasta which is what we...

    What % of the population takes Amtrak?

    I've searched high and low and all I can find is ridership numbers, ridership increases, etc. but not the number of actual distinct pax. TIA

    Train cancelled, got on a bus, no points?

    I did a search and can't find an answer.... My 370 CHI-HOM was cancelled on 3/30 (derailment in Gary - hazmat) We were put on a bus which wasn't all bad even though it's nothing at all like the train (express to the station, got in at the ETA of the train) I assume the ticket is considered...

    Reservation Exchange Confirmation?

    I made absolutely no changes to an upcoming trip but received one of these today. It's not an e-ticket and all of the legs are the same. It has the old quik track bar code on it and says to print my tix or pick them up. What the heck? I already have an e-ticket. Does anyone have any idea...

    Amtrak site update - nice

    Site was just down for maintenance, came back up and now you can sort your results by train, price, departure, and duration. Or maybe I never noticed this?
