    Viewliner side for the Hudson

    Guys, I know my question has been asked and answered but the Search on this site is close to useless and I can't find an entry for which side of the Viewliner heading north is the Hudson side (It's my understanding that Viewliners are generally oriented in a consistent way). Thank you for your...

    bye to my BOA card

    My AGR card was coming up for renewal this month, and having just taken a trip on the Chief (which was fantastic!), and not having any planned in the near future, I decided to drop the card. I'm just not seeing the value any more. Even if the AGR points aren't technically devalued, if you have...

    Points or dollars?

    Advice please. I have 32,000 points I used 29,000 on a LAX to Chicago roomette for two on the Chief this coming October, but then the fare sale popped up and I can do it for $670 cash, which seems goood. Should I do the cash deal?

    Empire Builder and extreme heat Portland

    It's supposed to be over 100 in Portland Wednesday/Thursday and presumably along the route, and I am boarding the EB at PDX Wednesday. Could this lead to cancellation? This is freakish heat.

    Rental cars at PDX

    I'm sure this has been addressed before, so sorry in advance, but it seems like the site search is disabled, so I can't locate it. Wondering what my best option is for renting a car to return before boarding at PDX train station. I am flying in and training out, so I figure I will come in from...

    Glenview IL parking--revisited.

    I know this has been a topic before, but now that the Amtrak agent is no more at Glenview, anyone know the parking situation? I'd like to go up to Milwaukee tomorrow (saturday) but obviously have to know if I can leave my car there before embarking. I'd be coming back Sunday, so no weekdays...

    Switching from $$ to points on purchased ticket?

    I booked a trip on the Zephyr and paid for it and then realized I have enough points. Is there any way to use points and get a credit back on my credit card? It's a sleeper reservation so I don't really want to cancel it out and start over (and what would the penalty be?).Thanks in advance.

    Truckee station

    I'll be boarding the eastbound, and I like to bring on my own beer and wine. Is there a shop walkable from the station?

    No more Pullman to nola?

    I am not finding the page for the New Orleans service on the Pullman Rail Journeys site. Plug pulled?

    Pullman Rail Journeys going to seed?

    The Pullman service pulled by Amtrak has been discussed here in regards to how sometimes it is competitive with Amtrak sleeper fares on City of New Orleans. Now I wonder if Pullman Rail Journeys is on its last breath. Recent reviews on Trip Advisor have described abysmal service and minimal...

    Anything new on the Cardinal?

    I'm riding the Cardinal in a few weeks and wonder if anything has changed. I don't suppose they have a real diner or a lounge yet.

    You meet the darndest folks on the Texas Eagle.

    This was southbound out of Chicago in November. A fuzzy pic--sorry.

    Anything good about lower-level Superliner roomette?

    Hi. I just booked a roomette on the Eagle, and one of the ways my roomette is on the lower level. I've always thought upper level was better (for the view), and it's been years since I rode the lower. I'm going to call and try to change it--but wanted to see if anyone prefers the lower level for...

    Pullman to NOLA

    This is the domed diner on the private Pullman set that attaches to the City of New Orleans twice a week. Great way to go!

    Distance from NOLA station to the Quarter?

    Can anyone tell me how far it is from New Orleans station to the part of Canal by the Quarter (say, where the big Marriott is)? Is taxi the only way?
