Paul P Posted March 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2010 I scanned these out of boredom. I had some more from previous years, but lost them. That's all I have left now, but this ticket count will rise dramatically during the upcoming summer! I would like to know: what routes have you used in the past?

GojiMet86 Posted March 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2010 Cool tickets, Paul! I might have some from my trip to Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted March 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2010 The only time I ever used Amtrak was September 1, 1994 (Labor Day) between NY and DC. That was also the first time I ever used the DC Metro. It is unlikely that I'll use Amtrak in the near future since Megabus is cheaper and the plane is faster.

And one who has never used Amtrak in the past doesn't know what the experience is like. I would love to ride amtrak.I might use it to my next trip to Baltimore. Sign up for Guest Rewards if you do!

PATCOman Posted March 29, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 29, 2010 I rode Amtrak a long time ago from New York all the way to Pittsburgh back in the early 90s and late 80s. In addition, I rode Amtrak to New London back in April 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted March 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 29, 2010 How did you get an unreserved ticket BAL-WAS in 2010? All Amtrak trains between NYP and WAS are reserved. Unless this is a MARC ticket (I've never seen one before)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless this is a MARC ticket (I've never seen one before)... Correct, the price alone tells you it's MARC. Their tickets are the same as Amtrak's because MARC operates under Amtrak.

traildriver Posted April 18, 2010 Share #21 Posted April 18, 2010 Employee discount! Yep. The form of payment "NR 950P" gives that away to those in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share #22 Posted April 18, 2010 Here's my Shoreline East and Amtrak tickets from Easter. On the day I left NYP, train 93 at 2:05P was late more than 1 hour, so I had to switch to train 85 to make a bus connection in Wilmington. This change cost me $92 as you can see... If I knew this was gonna happen I could as well reserve an Acela for $91 earlier. Never have I had to worry about timing but I never knew Amtrak could make your life stressful. The refund ticket is for a SLE train between OSB and NLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
