    Use your frequent "flier" number when you buy your ticket. With enough points you can get Amtrak club privileges which is much more comfortable way to wait and board.

    Please remember to tip the employees if you are riding in First Class or if you stop by the Cafe Car, they work really hard!!

    Last car is usually the "quiet" car. Worth spending a few extra $ to avoid numerous stops & longer travel time on NE Corridor line.

    The quiet car is pretty peaceful. Near the ends are the loudest areas.

    You can also use the club if you have Guest Rewards Select Plus status. Regardless of ticket type.

    Wash DC does not allow bus. Travelers to access club Acela must be 1st class only, not the case in Boston and NYC.
