We have started looking at taking a trip on board Amtrak for our honeymoon post covid. I started looking at prices today for sleepers and was shocked to see how expensive they are. Is this normal, paying $2,000+? I haven't checked prices since my last trip about 5 years ago, but I don't remember...

Mods, feel free to move this to the video forum if needed, I just wanted to share this in a place where the most people could see and get excited about train travel. So almost 4 (FOUR!) years ago, my brother and I took an Amtrak trip around the country as we celebrated him graduating high...

I live in Columbus, MS and Tuscaloosa isn't that far from me. I've ridden the CONO many times, but have never ridden the crescent. While I have a trip to New Orleans coming up in March, I was wondering if there was a quick day trip within the Crescent I could do before then. I don't really care...

Hey everyone, it has been awhile since I have posted. During Spring Break of next year, I am hoping to take Amtrak from Tuscaloosa to New Orleans to visit the WWII museum and other places around the city. It would be me and 3 others, all still in college, so that's why it is during spring...

If I wanted to redeem points for a roomette from Jackson, MS to Seattle using two zones, would I be able to go CONO-CZ-CS? Or would I have to take the more direct route of CONO-EB?

Currently on northbound CoNo 58. Sometime in the last few hours, the door at the end of the hall has become stuck open, and the inside of the car has become real humid and sticky. Is there anything that can be done about this? Or is this something that can't be fixed until the end of the line.

Hey guys, I have started the planning phase for my long trip around the country to celebrate graduating college. As I plan it, I'm sure I will come up with plenty of questions for you guys, so instead of creating a new thread for each one, I will just create a new post within this one. So my...

Sorry it has taken so long to get this trip report together. I had to wait on a new computer before I could begin putting together video from each segment. I hope to make another addition each week. This week is Route 1, City of New Orleans, Jackson, MS to Chicago, IL. The first night of a 10...

As part of our upcoming trip, we will be spending 2 nights in ABQ. The main reason is to visit the hot air balloon museum at balloon fiesta park. We were planning on staying at America's Best Value Inn near the museum, but now I am wondering if it would be best to stay at a hotel closer to the...

Anyone know if Amtrak still gives those little Native American style clay pots to sleeper style passengers? My dad and I each got one when we went to ABQ back in '96.

Hey guys, 3 and half months until we leave on our biggest Amtrak trip to date, and the days are going by slower and slower. Since our trip is going to be 10 days long, I will be videoing it and putting together the very best video I can. Now, I am not talking about one of those videos that...

Hey guys, just a quick question. On the last leg of our upcoming trip, we will be taking CoNO from Chicago down to Jackson, departing at 8 PM and arriving at 11:20 AM. Before departing, we will have roughly 4 hours to kill in Chicago after arriving on EB. Will we need to grab dinner in Chicago...

I'm going on a pretty extensive Amtrak trip with my brother coming up in June and I am wanting to document it as much as I can. To do this, I will be taking along a few GoPros. I am wanting to shoot mostly time lapses out of our roomette window, as well as from other locations. Has anyone done...
