Hello!
I joined FT because I read a thread about Amtrak and know nothing, so I wanted to ask the "experts."
I need to travel on the Lincoln train from Springfield to Columbus, WI and the price seems rather high ($86.) My sister's in-laws always seem to travel on Amtrak for some piddly amount and I've never seen the cheap deals everyone is talking about.
I can get a student discount but that takes the fare down 15%.
Is there a primer for the new and clueless on how to save with Amtrak? Or...if you all would be so kind, could you tell me where to learn what you know about getting all of these deals I keep reading about? Thanks so much!
