I had been looking forward to my first trip via Amtrak sleeper since last March when I first booked it. It was to be the bookends of a 10 day cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I came to this site, asked for and received some good advice on Amtrak travel. Somewhere along that road I believe...

I will be leaving in about 10 hours for the first part of my journey to Florida. Bus to Boston, Amtrak to DFB, cruise and return. I want to thank all of you who have answered my questions over the past few months regarding Amtrak and traveling on it. I have received much good advice. Will...

I will be taking the excellent advice of members here and will be utilizing the services of Red Caps in BOS and NYP for my trip next week from BOS to DFB. Because I am traveling in a roomette, I will also use the facilities of the Club Acela's in both cities. My question is where will I be...

When I first booked my Amtrak trip 10 months ago I thought I had read that there is no checked baggage on the northeast regional service from BOS-NYP. Is this correct? I will have a large bag (will meet weight requirements), a carry-on and what I call a shoulder bag (electronics, etc. . ...

:help: Hopefully, y'all won't tire of what must seem like mundane questions from a newbie . . . . but I gotta learn somehow. :D   These questions have to do with "consists". What does "consists" mean as it relates to train(travel)? I have the feeling the it means basically what it says and...

:help:   I am just trying to get an idea of where my roomette will be located.   On both my south and north bound Silver Meteor routes, I have been assigned roomette 2. Southbound in car 9710, northbound in car 9811.   On the Amtrak website there is a schematic of the Viewliner that shows...

Just joined this forum yesterday and have spent a lot of time since looking around. Quite a nice site.   I am retired Navy, after having spent 28 years doing a job I loved.   My train travel is quite limited. First trip was from Geneva, IL to Detroit in 1956. I attended seminary that year...
