I'm sure Joe Biden would extoll the virtues of Amtrak, whether its their trains, or the online experience. As many people know, he is perhaps their #1 customer, and has been more than happy to have pushed bills through the Congress in ...

Just took our first Amtrak trip from Florida to NYC. Loved it. Confused by the reviews of Amtak? We were. But here's what we've learned directly from others who travel Amtrak, from reading the reviews carefully, and from our own experience: Don't ...

If you want a relaxing, cheap, friendly travel experience, DON'T TAKE AMTRAK.  I ended up paying three times my original price, for a round trip, because if you need a later departure time than you reserved, they also cancel and sell back the same ...

The website is great, easy to navigate and use and has all the information for any question you might have. My sister and I (in our early 60s) took Amtrak from Birmingham, Alabama to Philadelphia, PA to see the King Tut exhibit before it left the states ...

I have ridden the Amtrak train line many times in my life, and have always had good experiences with the company. That was primarily what led me to their online web-site when I was looking to purchase two train tickets from Seattle, Washington down to ...

I decided to splurge and try a sleeper room on an overnight, one-way trip from Oregon to (Sacramento) California. The Coast Starlight is notorious for being late and you always have to call beforehand. It wasn't that bad, as the train left about 11:30, ...

Easy to navigate, SSL site so you can use credit/debit cards to pay, & they will mail the tickets to you. My tickets arrived 4 days after I made the reservations. Piece of cake. HOWEVER...... do NOT expect the train to be on time. I booked the Sunset ...
