    BC on the CS

    In August I traveled solo in BC from Albany, Or to Oakland in the upper level. As the car was maybe 1/4 full, I did not have a seatmate and there was no one seated in front, behind or across from me. The attendant was helpful and attentive and carried my bag up and placed it in the overhead...

    Best place to complain and commend

    On 9/3 I used the email option on Amtrak.com to complain about an inefficient SCA on the SWC. This morning (Saturday) I received a phone call from Amtrak acknowledging receipt of my email and that follow up action would be taken. So that method of making a complaint worked for me.

    SWC to CS Connection

    I am traveling CHI-LAX-ALY this weekend on the SWC to CS in roomettes. I know that the connection can be tight. My concern is if the SWC is late and there is very little time to board the CS is there Amtrak personnel to help direct passengers. If have never been through Los Angeles Amtrak...

    Almost First Timer Questions

    When traveling on the Cascades I day checked my bag at PDX and was charged $4.00. So I just wanted to know if that was a standard fee. I guess it varies per station?
