I am confused on Amtrak's fare types. Maybe they purposely make it that way. So if I buy a Value Fare, it says this about refunds: Can you still get an e-voucher for the total fare? So another page on evouchers: So I read from that if I cancel and it is a non-refundable, it can be put...

Which fare structure is the companion coupon work? Value or Flexible?

I have been traveling a lot between PA and NYP for doctors appointments (cancer re-occurrence). Last week we missed our train to and had to get another train. The next train was a connection with Acela, which was a lot more, but we needed to get there. First, the connection between the two...

I am traveling to New York City for a Thursday morning appointment at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I was leaving on Keystone 656 on Wednesday which would get me into New York at about 9:00PM, staying overnight, and returning later on Thursday. At least that was the plan. Now, I am seeing they...

I am looking at doing a trip where I would be taking a NJ Transit train into NYP and making a connection with Amtrak. The NJ Transit is scheduled to arrive at 4:39 and the Amtrak train is scheduled to leave at 5:17. So I have 38 minutes. Is this enough time to make a connection? Does NJ...

I received from Chase today that they will convert my Amtrak card to a Chase Freedom. Anyone know anything about this card? This may be talked about in the several other topics but I am lazy tonight and I do not want to read through endless topics and pages of speculation and complaining.

Anyone know how large the actual shower is? Anyone ever measure one?

I want to make a trip from the east via Chicago to California in June, July, or August. What would the better routing be? Chicago-San Francisco- Los Angeles- Chicago or the Chicago-Los Angeles- San Francisco-Chicago? Also, based on our timing we will have 7 days total to spend in either Los...

Are multi-city tickets guaranteed connections? Follow up question: The Lake Shore Limited arrives in NYP at 6:23 PM. The Keystone leaves at 7:53. What is the odds of making this connection?

So I have heard people on here talk about this card before. In the mail today, I got an offer for this card. I will get 40,000 bonus points for spending $2000 in the first 3 months and 5,000 points for adding an authorized user. Is this a good deal or has there been better deals to sign up...

Ok, so I want to buy a watch. I want something "good" but I am not sure how much I want to spend and I am not sure what I mean by "good". I can't afford a Rolex but maybe something that is about $100-$200 at the most but I am not sure how much I want to spend and would maybe go more if I find...

When in a bedroom or roomette, and you want to change or go to the bathroom, remember to close the exterior curtains. There was a few times at night I forgot or just didn't do it. Not sure if anyone saw me from the outside, but I bet it has happened before.

First, meal on our trip I got the cheese cake. It was good but nothing out of the ordinary cheesecake. Then I tried the triple chocolate mousse and got addicted.

I just got back from a round trip on the Crescent. Our SCA was excellant, in addition to giving him a tip (I hope I gave him enough), I wanted to write Amtrak and tell them how well he did. I was looking and I saw Amtrak has an employee praise line...

I have a couple of questions for an upcoming trip. I think I read that the station will have taxi's waiting when the Crescent pulls in. Is this still correct? The Crescent departs northbound at 7:00AM. What time do they let passengers get on the train? Is the lounge open at that time for...

I was going to take this train for a short trip between ELT and HAR. I saw it left New York 33 minutes late and never made it to Newark even. Just wondering if anyone knew what happened. I decided not to go because I wasn't sure the train would show.

We all get hung up on the old demolished NYP station and many of the classic looking station from the golden age of railroading. However, what about stations built when the railroads started to decline in the 50s- through the 70s. Where are these stations located and are they being preserved...
