I walked down to Track 5 to board the 5:15pm train to Albany with a sandwich and orange from the Metro Lounge, planning to pick up a drink and maybe some snacks in the cafe car. Down on the platform I was directed to the very end of the train for the Business Class car. Unlike the tickets...

Saturday March 4, 2023 - 4pm-ish I'm overlooking the Moynihan Train Hall on the balcony of the Metro Lounge at NYP as I type this. I just arrived from WIL on Acela 2254 in first class. That is where they have been hiding all the 'train food'. But let's go back one day first. Yesterday I...

Saturday, Feb 25, 2023 During my layover in Chicago I walked up Canal then took a right on Madison and headed for Reckless Records. I spent about 30 minutes and 4 times that in dollars buying a bunch of albums. I was hoping they could ship them, but they said they hadn't really started up...

Feb 23, 2023, Train #49 (LSL), car 4911, roomette 5. I arrived at the Albany/Rensselaer station around 5:20pm, picked a seat in the waiting room and double checked all the frequencies for the trip to Chicago on my scanner. At 6:20p the station attendant asked if I was in a sleeper headed to...

It's been a few years since I've been here, but I'm hitting the rails again soon so may as well pop in here. I've done a lot of east coast and mid-west train travel and a clockwise trip around the country when the kids were smaller. A lot of my recent travel has been in my skoolie, but train...

Well, we're half way through our trip and we had a few delays but nothing major. The LSL departed Albany Friday evening (4/25) about 45 min late due to a bridge prolem right out of the station. There was also a bridge issue near Cleveland and freight traffic that backed us up. We were running...

No, not a question about the ticket window, but about the window for ticketing. Do you need to be within a certain number of days before your trip to be able to exchange your bar-coded email for the actual tickets? We went to redeem our bar codes for the tickets last week for a trip in late...

We just redeemed points for a round trip towards the end of April. The customer service rep who helped us on the phone said the tickets would be emailed to our account. I was kind of expecting them within a few hours, but it's been 3-4 days now and nothing. I suppose I could call back and...

My wife and I are planning a trip to Las Vegas in a month or two so will be doing the Kingman/Las Vegas shuttle. Any big updates? It looks like an easy connection both ways. Getting into LV at 3am will be fun (!), but we'll just make a long day of it. Thanks, Dave
