MAKE UP YOUR MIND |
| |
|
You can upgrade your seat to
Sleeping car or Business class by asking your conductor or Chief of On
Board Services. You will then have to pay for the difference. |

BEFORE ARRIVING |
|
|
|
In larger train stations, you
can check in your bags. Make sure to get there at least 40 minutes
before departure and check in your bags. Upon arrival, you have to
collect them back. This usually doesn’t take long, but in larger cities
it could take up to half an hour. Remember, whatever you check in, you
can’t get to during the ride. |

NON-SMOKING RIDE |
| |
|
You’re not allowed to smoke on
short trips on the train. Longer distances have smoking sections. Those
who don’t offer this service, have announcements where people can smoke
on the platform while they’re at a stop. |

WHEN RIDING AMTRACK |
| |
|
If you feel that the train is
running late, and you’re going to miss your connecting train, talk to
the conductor chief of on board services. He will try to get in touch
with the other train, so it could be held for you. However, if you do
miss your ride, Amtrak will offer alternative transportation, or will
give you food and a place to stay until the next train arrives. |

ENTERTAINMENT ON RAILS |
| |
|
Lounge cars are open to
everyone, and the seats are not reserved. Current movies are shown in
most long-distance trains in the evening. |
