Sorry to put a "damper" on things folks, but Amtrak is nothing more than a bad joke. Sure, you can still ride the rails, (I do on occasion), but the last time I took Amtrak on a long trip, it was a nightmare! I lost 2 days out of a one week vacation to New Orleans due to Amtrak screw-ups. First, I missed my connection in Chicago by about 30 minutes, because of two "emergency applications of the brakes", Amtrak would not hold the "City of New Orleans" for connecting passengers, instead gave me a voucher for a hotel room in Chicago. There was one day lost. The next day, ALL the stranded travellers, which by the way, had "reserved accommodations" on the previous day's train, were forced onto a short consist train. Damned near "standing-room-only"! <br />But, the "fun" had only just begun. Upon arrival in Memphis Tenn., we were delayed another 6 or 7n hours because of an ice storm in Mississippi. To make a long story short, "Amtrak" cost me 2 days of "Mardi-Gras" that I had been planning on for a year. What consolation did I recieve?, I was subjected to a hostile on-board staff, who, were, undoubtedly as upset as I was over the delay, but took it out on the passengers. All I can say about Amtrak is "Never again". <br /> Todd C.
