I want to take a trip on Amtrak but have heard that the trains can be late and cause problems on a tight schedule. Help me out, someone. Thanks much.

  1. ive taken amtrak..we took it hyears ago from san luis obispo CA to san diego, ca..it was fun..i was only a kid though..if i remeber it stops alot..but was on time


  2. If traveling up and down the eastern or western seaboard, I'm pretty sure the trains are on time or only late within reason (not usually more than 2 hours).

    If you're thinking about traveling through Texas on the Sunset Limited, you may want to have an open schedule....I mean waaaaay open.  That train has been know to run 12-15 hours late.

  3. I dint know about" Amtrak Vacations" ,but I have taken Amtrak from Boston to California and back a few times. I loved it! I really think there is no better way to see the country. The trip through Colorado,Utah and Nevada was breathtaking! I met some great people--some I still stay in contact with. Everyone should do it at least once.

  4. outside of California or the Northeast, service is limited, and can run into frequent delays, as Amtrak uses tracks owned by freight lines.

    Be prepared for delays; allow flexibility into your schedule, and you can have a great time!
