When we're talking about an "underclass" there's not much difference between race and class. I don't know if the people in Salinas were black, hispanic or "poor whites," my only point was that the...

By, say, quickly closing the curtain? I seriously doubt the fear you "felt" was even remotely close to the danger you were in. I am a white guy in his 30s who has lived in various "ghettos" for the...

Thanks. This is basically what I was going to say. Except I was going to also hurrah the return of Indian scares. ;)

I agree that the chances of having something stolen from a sleeper (and even from coach) are rare. But when I'm feeling particularly paranoid, I'll make my diner/lounge/restroom trip immediately...

This is exactly what's going on. I took the Palmetto twice last week and they had this new set-up both times. Much nicer than the old set-up and now, perhaps, worth the upgrade cost. (The free sodas...

Yep, free sodas, newspaper, a little extra room. Unless the space is very valuable to you, it's hardly worth it. To me, it's always seemed one of Amtraks biggest ripoffs.

As said above, the roomette is "cozy." If you're travelling alone, the roomette is just fine, especially considering how much the larger rooms cost. I've travelled quite some distance in roomettes,...

Since I live in the NE and take trains both within the NE and on longer trips, I like to think that I subsidize myself.

Sure, write them a letter too. And while your at it, write everyone else who has a hand in the railway infrastructure here in the US. Usually they all share some blame for the problems that occur on...

If you complain you'll likely get some kind of voucher. I had a similar situation, but not nearly as bad, and I think I got a $100 voucher. (My total delay was about 8 hours.) Thing is, you'll...

Me too! Not that I mind coach, I just think the sleeper car is cool. I can hang out in the lounge car and then have my own little space to return to.

One more question that's kinda related. I...

I'm travelling alone, so all I'd want is a roomette. 7 available now... let's hope that (a) some of those remain available for the next two weeks and (b) I get to the conductor first!

You know, I...

learn something new everyday

Just purchased my ticket to Oakland, Ca. Odd thing I learned, that if you buy a ticket with GR points, you can't purchase accomodations in advance. Now that seems like an INCREDIBLY bad policy. I was...

I've actually had the roomette on that train, though coming in the opposite direction. It's small, though big enough for one person (or two, if you're close). Plus if you get stir crazy, you can...

Thanks for the advice. So is there an advance time limit to use the AGR points? I mean, do I have to order the tickets a specific amount of time in advance?
