We're asking everyone who rides our train or visits our stations to make Amtrak injury free. Top Boarding Times Passengers should be at their boarding stations at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Extra time is recommended if you need baggage services or extensive ticketing. If a train should arrive late, every effort is made to depart as soon as possible. In such cases, the amount of time the train remains in the station may be less than what is shown in printed schedules or schedules on this Web site.
Trains can make up time enroute.
Therefore, if a train is shown on this Web site as being late, this does not always mean that it will be late by the same amount of time when it arrives at your station. In some cases, recovery time built into the schedule could result in the train departing on time. Please note that children under two years of age without tickets are expected to sit on their parents' laps and all children must be supervised by an adult while in the Lounge Car. Children under eight years old may not travel unaccompanied. Full adult fares are charged.
