How are the box lunches served on 449? I am looking at a New England Trip and debating if the Lounge Access in Boston and lunch on 449 is "worth" the sleeper cost for travel within Massachusetts. (I know the value of "worth" is different for everyone, but just trying to get a feel on the food...

I just saw the schedule advisory for the Coast Starlight from May 23 (yes, tomorrow) through August 1 (see text below). As I am riding the Coast Starlight in June (albiet SB), I have been watching the schedule and #14 seems to have lots of trouble being on-time, let alone early (see today's...

I have been having a discussion about the legal ownership of Amtrak and searches have come up with some interesting comments, but we have not been able to come up with an exact answer - even off of Amtrak's website. It appears to be a public/private partnership owned by a Board of Directors...

Over the past week or so, #22 has been consistently late from the beginning of the trip and is often well over an hour late by Austin or Temple. Is there anything going on?

I have heard that they still run one set of single-level cars for the Surfliner. Is this true? If yes, does it appear on regularly on a series of trains or is it more random? Are there any differences with Business Class? Thanks.

I have a dilemma that I think many other people would wish to have and all of talk about e-ticketing has me a little worried. Before the Sunset LImited Changes were announced, I booked an AGR sleeper trip from Seattle to Chicago via #11 and #422 with an overnight in LAX. Now, with the schedule...
