    If Amtrak were able to average 110mph, that would be a 12-hour trip. With a high-speed train like in Japan, the time would be around 7 hours.

    You didn’t mention that your sleeper car ticket included access to Amtrak’s Metropolitan Lounge at Penn Station. It’s a really modern and inviting space. If you travel in a sleeper (or Acela First Class) in the future, be sure to check it out. I know you’ll be more than pleased.

    Apparently you traveled several months ago while the Silver Star and the Silver Meteor were combined into a single train, which would have had 4 or 5 sleepers, and up to 13 cars total (not 9 & 17). It looked like you were in the 3rd sleeper from the diner, number 9112. The Meteor has now resumed as a separate train carrying 3 sleepers, while the Star now has just 2. BTW, the diners do actually have full kitchens (or galleys), but Amtrak has been serving the precooked "Flex" meals to cut costs and staffing. They have promised to return full-service "Traditional" dining, with onboard chefs, to the Silver Star & Meteor sometime this year.

    To be honest, the roomette is too small for one person if you’re a large person. Correction…only one complementary alcoholic drink per trip. After that one you pay for it. Also the station in Miami closes around 6:30pm or close to it, an it’s in the worst part of town, passengers are dumped out onto the street to wait for Uber..Lyft, and the transit bus that makes an occasional loop around the entrance. I know this must have made you somewhat nervous. Otherwise the Silver Star And Silver Meteor trains are great ways to get to Miami.

    • @eyesforadventures
      @eyesforadventures  Рік тому +2

      Luckily we didn't have any problems at the station in Miami! It was actually still pretty busy at 9:30pm, the information desk was still open, and lots of people waiting inside. But we agree, Amtrak is a great way to get to Miami! 😊

    • @joelk4751

      The State of Florida built a new station at the airport, but Amtrak never moved in because they weren't happy with the state's lease demands, as well as some logistical issues. Last year Amtrak sent a car full of their executives to inspect the station, and they have now confirmed that they have reopened negotiations on the lease. If they do move in, there will be a direct connection to Tri-Rail, the Miami Metro, and buses; also the airport's rental car center will be right next door, connected by an indoor walkway.

      If you're in any sleeper--Roomette, Bedroom, etc.--then yes, meals are included, but bring cash to tip.
      There's usually also water and coffee in your sleeper car.
      If you were in coach, you would only have access to the Cafe Car, which is serviceable, but not something you'd want to be subsisting on, so smart move to get a Roomette.
      I would suggest taking supper late, after Washington if you can, and then going straight to bed afterwards. Atlanta is scheduled for an 8:43 AM arrival, so if you want an un-panicked breakfast, you'll need to be on deck early.

      The train to Florida is a nice relaxing way to get there. However as noted due to freight train traffic often operates late. This train is more useful if you are visiting the Orlando area. If you are on time you arrive mid day so the ride is a quick overnight run from the northeast to Florida. Years ago they also were a little faster to Miami because they operated a separate section to Tampa so you did not ride into and out of Tampa on your way to Miami. I am glad you enjoyed the ride but it will be even better when they return full dinning car service to the Florida trains.

      As we travelled for 30+ hours it was important to us to have a bed, provided meals, and some privacy. I am sure there are videos on UA-cam about traveling in Coach Class. The prices also always depend on your date of travel, I have seen prices as low as 500$ for a Roomette from New York to Miami, so keep researching 😊
