I booked this trip this morning using some AGR points. The booking process was quick and easy on the app. I’m doing BC on 306 for a change of pace.
I parked in the new Amtrak garage at 9 am. I walked over to the station and on the way discovered I would need to use the bathroom. I opted for the lounge since I’m select plus. I had misplaced my card so the app displaying my star made the lounge check in easy. The agent was polite. He informed me the train was boarding on track 24.
I got to track 24 and there was an Amtrak police officer with a dog. He asked where I was going and when I explained St. Louis he sent me on my way. Another professional positive interaction.
The third occurred when I got to the first open door of the train and was politely greeted by the conductor. I boarded a venture car using the handrail. I could not detect the modifications that were made. The steps themselves are more like regular steps then those on older equipment.
The bathroom did not have an out of order sign when I passed it. And I was pleased to locate a forward facing window seat on the left side. And it’s clean. AC is functioning.
