best route from omaha to raleigh and can i bring my bike?
California Zephyr to Chicago, then transfer to the Capitol Limited then in DC transfer onto the Silver Star. You can bring you bike but it has to be put in storage in the Zephyr and the Silver Star
acecharmander asked:

futuregrass-deactivated20240105 asked:
I don't see timetables on the amtrak web page, just hours when a station is open. Should I plan on getting to the station I'd leave from hours before the one I'd arrive at would close? (Would be a couple hours in a car)
The app usually will schedule to allow for a few hours of time to get a transfer. You can get time tables by looking up the name of the route then “timetable” in a search engine. Here are a few timetables to help though
San Jaoquins
California Zephyr
Capitol Limited
Cascades

It’s a long trip unfortunately, you need to take the Texas Eagle to Chicago where you will then Transfer to the CapitolLimited, once you arrive in DC you need to transfer to the Silver Star, and ride that down to Raleigh
Anonymous asked:
I'm like 90% sure I know the route I'd need (I work at train :) ), but your most recent pining for the lost Floridian has me wondering if there's a better way... CHI>ORL?
Your only option is either the Cardinal, Capitol Limited or Lakeshore Limited then a transfer in DC or New York to Orlando on the silver star or meteor
eaglehorn asked:
Okay, here’s a route for you: Milwaukee to Lancaster, fewer than 20 hours. (Not counting rest stops, takes 12 to drive)
Unfortunately the fastest route is still 21 hours. But the route would be taking the Hiawatha to Chicago then taking the Capitol Limited to Pittsburgh and then transferring onto the Pennsylvanian
thediscsystem asked:
For the route thing, what about Denver to Atlanta? On a lowish budget as well
Funny thing, you can’t actually do that on a budget. Both of them are on long distance routes and very far apart. The cost is about 700 dollars if buying in advance. But the route would be California Zephyr to Capitol Limited to Cresent
Anonymous asked:
is there any good way to get from the northeast corridor (norfolk, dc, newark would all work) to the seattle area (likely everett)? i've been checking but i can't figure out a route that isn't prohibitively expensive
Capitol Limited to Empire Builder is the only real option for that journey. Unfortunately even when buying a month out it still costs 670. So if that is too much than it really isn’t possible. If is an acceptable amount than try buying a ticket on a weekday in mid July.
