Hello all! We will be leaving a New Mexico trip on Sunday, July 18 at 11:50 on the SWC. We will drop our rental off the night before, and need a hotel that has a shuttle to the Amtrak station. Any experience with this?

I booked an auto train trip by my hubby and me and paid cash during the sale. We now need to add our daughter to the trip and a roomette for that day is $652.Yikes. Would they let the add-on be in points?

We will be on the auto train in a few months. About the 20th trip over the years. Once we upgraded to bedrooms we've always beeon in the regular superliner cars. I was assigned for the coming trip to one of the "deluxe" sleepers, but when I changed the date am back to the regular car setup...

We have a trip on July 13 WAS to ABQ. Any chance the new cars will be activated by them?

The Chief is currently parked between Las Vegas NM and Lamy due to a tragic death of an unwell passenger. Been parked for at least 3 hours waiting for a coroner. This is the same trip that was bussed for flooding in Kansas, and then waited for a couple more hours for the delayed SWC 4 to make it...

So we have just boarded, July 5, train 3, the SWC to ABQ. Just prior to boarding they announced that this train will terminate in Kansas City, and we will be bussed to Newton, a 4 hour ride, at around 10:30 pm to 2:30 am to pick up another train, due to flooding. All checked baggage was...

There was a significant storm today that has apparently caused major signal problems all up and down the track. We are on the NEC going nowhere fast.

We are on the EB hoping to make our connection to the CL (train 30) which leaves at 6:40. We have a delay and got out of MSP at around 10. Best/worst case ETA?

The subject line asks it all. Thanks!

On the 23rd we will catch the Empire Builder in Whitefish, then connect in CHI for Capitol Limited to WAS, then NEC to Philly and Keystone on home to Lancaster PA. With the EB current late streak, the 2 hr 45 minute layover in CHI is tight. If we miss the CL altogether, will we miss our...

Hi all, on June 29 we will be boarding the Keystone in Lancaster, Pa, to go to Philly, where we will pick up the Acela to Was, where we will catch the CL to Chi, to catch the SWC to Albuquerque. It will be a 3 week trip, so we need to manage our carryons for the 3 day train trip, plus the big...

We are taking the CL to CHI on June 29, and then on to ABQ on the SWC on the 30th. 3 week trip. We can either take the Keystone to Philly, and then on to WAS on a Regional or an Acela -- which is ideal if trains are running on time. Or we can rent a car and drive it one way to a metro location...

For a June trip out west, I booked a trip using my husband's points on the Capitol Limited from WAS to CHI. Gets in at 8:45. I then booked the other leg on the Southwest Chief to ABQ using my points . If the CL is delayed for some reason, will they rebook the SC or do I need to get Trip...

Hello all! We will be taking a trip in July that will take us from PA to New Mexico, picking up a rental car in Albuquerque. A few weeks later, we'll be catching the Empire Builder back from Whitefish, MT, where we will spend the night and leave at 7:41 am on a Sunday. We will need to drop off...

Our last trip was 2013, before the service, umm, "streamlining." Traveling in sleeper. Can you catch me up-- No wine and cheese reception, correct? Are there still snacks upon boarding? Wine is now purchased by the glass at dinner? Do the young adults need to bring ID? Is the lounge car...
