Coming west or east you're getting there in the middle of the night. Are there any enterprising taxi drivers waiting for you outside usually? I would hate to depend on Uber/Lyft at that hour to get to a hotel. (I am plotting a trip to Louisville. Indy is about the same distance as Cincy, with...

Does this mean: --I will not be allowed to check a bag there if my arrival is a Saturday or Sunday Or: --I will be allowed to check a bag there but I won't be able to access it until they open on Monday Curious if anyone has any experience with this station. It's, ummm, not great for the...

I just called the Amtrak help line with this question but I'm not completely sure the representative understood what I was asking so I am checking with the forum on this one. Let's say I want to book PHL --> WAS --> LAX, but I don't have enough points to cover the entire trip. (Both of those...

This is something I've noticed when trying to see how Amtrak can take me from Orlando to Birmingham...I realize there are straighter non-train paths between those two destinations, but I really prefer the train. Whenever I try to book this trip the Amtrak website only gives me the option to...

I was trying to make a reservation for early August but the Hertz website said the Union Station location would be closed then; I called the Union Station Hertz desk directly to make sure the website is correct, and not only is it correct, the location is closing permanently sometime after 7/15...

...apparently for the benefit of people like me on the 6 hour delayed Capitol Limited. I'm grateful they did it, but also surprised they did because, I mean, I was under the impression they almost never held trains for connections. Apparently (after talking to the conductor) they did the math...

If I am going from WAS to CHI to LAX (really PHL to WAS to CHI to LAX but I will be drop/ping my checked bags off early so they can hopefully meet me there) and I want to check an extra bar or two--am I charged $20 per bag, or $20 per leg of my trip? I ask this because I have noticed the bike...

Boarding at PHL today to take the 97 to Orlando. I, ummm, don't travel light, had four bags on a little cart with me, none full size (the largest was 26 x 16 x 14, plus two smaller duffel bags and a computer case.) I have never been hassled about taking this much stuff on the train before, but...

This afternoon: I go to the cafe car and ask for some gin to go with my cheese and cracker tray. No, I can't be sold that, we're in Alabama on Sunday. Okay, fine. Annoying but fine. This evening: I want to order a bottle of red to go with my Field and Sea or whatever it's called (the Sea as of...

I am going from SAS to NOL in the morning. I am at the end of a two and a half week trip and have more stuff than I want to drag to a hotel for two nights (I am leaving on the Crescent on Sunday.) Can I leave a couple bags at the station? Like, can I just not pick them up from checked baggage...

At the end of the month I am doing LAX to SAS, SAS to NOL, and NOL back to PHL. The SAS part of my journey worries me--this is not a major station, correct? Will I have a hard time getting a cab at 5 AM if the Sunset gets there on time? I assume baggage assistance will be nonexistent.

I always used this site to see if the trains I would be using were having timeliness issues: http://www.amtrakdelays.onlineschedulingsoftware.com/ But now there's a message that the site no longer works, and "I am sure there are other sites now that offer similiar functionality." I am less...

First time I've ever had that happen to me on Amtrak or the Acela. Is that normal? I'm on an earlier train than the one I usually take (2:55, usually the Capitol is so late I leave at 4 or 5.) The TSA guy said it was SOP but, dude, I've never seen you guys here before. EDIT: This was leaving...
