I only get a train trip once or twice a year and due to my location it is typically on the Silvers or the NE Regional Line. So when I found out I get to ride a train with two levels - it is a rare treat for me. Quick Summary : I'm helping a family member out and basically has resulted in a...

Anybody know why? And yes - I'm anxiously awaiting family for Thanksgiving :wacko: :) :) :) :unsure:

I am sure this is a basic question - I think I know the answer - but I'd rather check with the experts. As someone that doesn't live in the Northeast, please be easy on me: I am trying to get from Philly to New York City. There are two trains - the Vermonter and the Keystone Service that have...

I'm sure this has been answered but I've searched several items and can't find an old thread. I need to go out of town suddenly on a trip that is going to have me in several places over a couple days. I have found that I'm will need to get from Philly to DC - so I immediately thought of the...

While I expect this to be a simple question, it's just easier to ask the nice people on here! Living in Florida, I don't have the chance to use Amtrak as much as I would enjoy. Recently I have been lucky enough to average one or two trips a year. In the past, I would book my trip online &...

So I found out I need to make a quick trip to NY and thought it would be a great opportunity to grab a train ride home. Much to my disappointment, I found out that weekend; both Silver trains terminate in Jacksonville and then Bus to Orlando. I'm guessing it has something to do with track work...

During the past two years, my family has had a wonderful traveling north via Amtrak and the Silver service (both Meteor and Star Service). This summer we have decided to try something different with the Auto Train. Needless to say we are excited. I have been able to seach for most of the...

I was browsing on Amtrak.com & looking at the pdf of Atlantic Coast Travel - the one that features the Silvers & Auto Train schedule and noticed that they are advertising a free shuttle provided by the City of Sanford that runs every 20 mins between the Auto Train station and Downtown Sanford...

So - we have a family vacation planned for Thanksgiving and most of the available vaction funds are tied up in that trip. But getting a little stir crazy and touch of spring fever, the wife and I talked about trying to squeeze another small trip in this summer. My parents ended up canceling...

After wearing out the search function on this forum, I swear I read that at some point during the colder months the Silvers move their sleeper cars & baggage car from the front of the line to the back of the line. Today I watched the Silver Star cruise through Lakeland FL today with the sleepers...

I am embarrassed how long it took for me to post this report - but after reading so many reports on here, I wanted to post one two. In March of this year, we decided to spend half a week in Washington, DC & then the other half of the week at the Delaware beaches. Orginially, we were going to...

Has anyone tried these yet? As person who grew up in the Mid Atlantic area, I have a high standard of crabcake and typically am hesitant to order them out. However, these have Tom Douglas's name attached to them. For those of you who don't know him, he is an outstanding chef (originally from...

My daughter & I have begun a weekly tradition - where if she has a good night (homework done, eats a good dinner, showers w little complaining etc.), we go for a walk down to our favorite Ice Cream Stand (Twisted Bliss) and look for the train 92 as it heads from Orlando to Winter Park. We have...

Hello all! I have searched and search & found some limited information on this topic. Our family is considering taking the train for the start of our Thanksgiving Holiday. We are looking at the Silver Star train out of Orlando & heading North. My Daughter is really excited about the idea &...
