    When I took this same trip 5 years ago we were delayed maybe an hour or two but they specifically kept the diner open just for us, they said. Hopefully your results wont vary.

    Red Caps Announcement?

    They way it's worded needs to be careful. A red cap cannot deny service because they do not appear to be a senior citizen or have a visible disability. If one requests assistance, one is entitled to that assistance, whether it takes X amount of time or not.

    Acela sets interior refresh 2018-19

    Sounds typical of Anderson to upcycle what can be used to be sold. At Delta, it was done often and in fact our soon to be old uniforms (I'm a DL flight attendant). You may think it sounds cheap but there is a market for such items.

    Wick Moorman CEO of Amtrak

    Anderson would only travel in main cabin at Delta. I'm a flight attendant at Delta and know this as fact. His wife would do the same as well. He liked the interaction with the passengers and listened to their feedback. Unlike our current CEO that doesn't follow that routine, but I digress

    History of the Cafe Car menu

    Thanks all, I'm aware of what is served currently in the National Cafe Menu and on the Northeast Regionals and Acela as that is what I take 90% of the time. I'm just curious what was served say in the 80s and 90s and if it's the same as today

    History of the Cafe Car menu

    My first trip on Amtrak was roughly 22 years ago, I vaguely remember the cafe menu but I am curious to hear from those that experienced Amtrak 1971 vs Amtrak present cafe car menu offerings and if they have improved or decreased in quality over the years Thanks!

    California Zephyr Disruption Due to BNSF Derailment in Iowa (11/9)

    In a situation like this, how is the train restocked for the trip west? As in food and food service items, pillows, blankets, linens, etc since I would assume that gets handled in Chicago.
