    Boarding 69 from lower level at NYP

    I'll be riding 69 from NYP to MTR. Does anyone have experience boarding from the lower level at NYP? Will I run into problems if I don't wait in line to have my passport checked upstairs?

    Upgrade coupon expiration: based on start or end of trip?

    Will an upgrade coupon be accepted on a segment that starts before it expires but ends after it expires? I'm thinking of using an upgrade coupon on the Cardinal leaving CHI on February 28 for NYP. Would that work? (If only it were a leap year!)

    Best date to ride 50 for foliage?

    In May, I rode 51 from NYP to CHI, but unfortunately the most scenic part of the trip was rained out. So I'm planning to fly from New York to Chicago and return on 50 on a Tuesday in November. From the foliage perspective, would November 15-16 make sense, or should I aim to make my trip a week...

    Hiawatha Service - seats on 331 boarding at GLN

    I'll be riding 331 from GLN to MKE this Wednesday. Is there a significant risk that I won't get a seat at all? What are my chances of getting a window seat in the quiet car? And if I have a choice, which side should I pick for a better view, or does it not matter?

    Directional preferences?

    I've read (in posts here and elsewhere) that the timing works out better, for maximizing scenery by daylight, on the eastbound Cardinal rather than the westbound. But how much better is it, in particular for a trip in late May or early June? In the itinerary I'm building, the eastbound...

    Train arrival after baggage office closes

    I'm ticketed on train 6 on May 7, arriving in Denver at 9:38 PM, three hours after its usual arrival time. The website lists the baggage office (along with the rest of the station) as closing at 8:15. Can I safely assume that I'll be able to collect my bag at Denver?

    How much should I worry about sunlight?

    I've never ridden Amtrak long distance, and I'm planning a few rides within the next month or so. First - I'll be riding the Amtrak Cascades from Vancouver to Seattle. There's a morning trip and an evening trip. I'm inclined to take the evening trip, since I'm not terribly keen on being at...
