I'll be headed from Florida to Pennsylvania and back in mid-July, and I'd like to take the AutoTrain. I'd like to get a roomette or bedroom without paying high bucket for it. Is there a "best" time to purchase sleeper AutoTrain tickets for travel in July, or should I just go ahead and make my...

Just noticed that Hurricane Matthew is now brewing in the Caribbean, and its long-term forecast shows it making a turn toward Florida sometime Saturday or Sunday. This coming weekend, I'm booked on the Auto Train...I leave SFA tomorrow, en route to a HS reunion near Philly on Saturday night...

A quick question: Are there any apps for smartphones that would enable them to receive Amtrak/host railroad radio signals the same way that a scanner radio does?

A question for those who've viewed the scenery aboard the SWC...is Mt. Baldy, the second-tallest mountain in New Mexico, visible from the SWC? Reason I ask is that I climbed it many years ago, when I was at Philmont Scout Ranch. (Unfortunately, back then, a trip to Philmont by rail was out of...

Saw this item in today's Chicago Sun-Times about a new crowd-control plan for CUS "...for avoiding mob scenes during service disruptions...". It makes no mention of the plan's impact on Amtrak passengers. Read more about it on the Sun-Times website here...

Finally...after years of planning, and years of SNAFUS...the new Troy Transit Center serving Troy and Birmingham, Michigan will open, and Wolverine passengers will no longer need to use the bus shelter that's been the "station" since the 1931-vintage Grand Trunk depot next to it closed. Here's...

I've been trying to figure out how to travel via Amtrak from Tampa, FL (where I live) to Red WIng, MN (where my Mom lives) over Christmas. She moved into an assisted-living facility earlier this year, and she said she can't travel down here like she's done for the past several years. So, I'm...
