The 2 stretches of 150 MPH are a 12 mile stretch from just north of Kingston, RI to Cranston, RI (south of Providence) and a 3 mile stretch just north of Providence to South Attleboro, MA.

I have been on eurostar, ice, thalys - i think all 3 go way above 150mph... i could be wrong tho. I am a huge train person and could easily just live by transit alone 
can't wait to ride the acela!

But for sleepers, there is this statement on the website:
*If booking sleeping accommodations with this promotional fare, please call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245), your local AAA Travel Office or your local travel agency.
Let us know!

A little help, please
Hello, my name is Eric. I am brand new to the board, and didn't know how to post a message. I thought i would try and email you. I am searching for secret codes for Amtrak. I am departing from Philadelphia on 3/14 to Los Angeles, and returning on April 1st. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time,

These codes also require 2 pax.

Any more posts on train speeds should probably go into a new thread...

New and in need of help
hey guys, i am new to the fourm and have been looking for some discount codes for a while and cant find any that really work. I am in college and a group of my friends (4-5), are going to Salt Lake to go skiing. We want to depart from nothern Missouri or Souther Iowa on March 3, and return on the 10th. Just wondering if anybody had any ideas for discount codes. I know about H644, and am thinking about signing up for AAA to get the discount, but I was curious if there were any other good ones. Thanks!

Just a reminder - as long as one person in your group has AAA, all people in the group qualify for the AAA fare!
(You do not each have to belong to AAA.)I am not sure if H644 works for a discount for 3, 4 or 5. (I hope so.) If not, try booking 2 at a time. (2 on the first res, 2 more on the 2nd res, etc...) Try a test booking both ways, and see which is a lower total fare!

Nothing for Guest Rewards Yet?
I'm planning a trip to San Diego from Albuquerque at the end of January. Has Amtrak not posted any discounts for Guest Rewards yet? The fare isn't all that high, so not worth getting AAA just for the discount...

(My basic AAA membership is $40!)Or are you traveling alone?
If so, I can understand the $18 savings.

I don't know exactly what dates you'll be traveling, but when I checked random dates at the end of January, for 2 people in coach is $360, but with H644 applied, the fare is $252! If saving $108 "not much", what is? (My basic AAA membership is $40!)
Or are you traveling alone? If so, I can understand the $18 savings.
