Cassandra Snyder+FollowCat’s Meow Costs Nearly £100 on French TrainYou won’t believe this: a woman in France got slapped with a £95 fine because her cat meowed too loudly on a train! She even bought a ticket for her kitty, but after some passengers complained, the inspector said the noise was too much. The rail company claims it was about the complaints, not just the meowing. She’s contesting the fine, calling it totally unfair. Since when did traveling with pets get so dramatic? #Pets #catnews #traintravel201Share

umccall+FollowWhy I’m skipping Amtrak business class next timeShelling out $168 for a 10-hour Amtrak business-class ride from NYC to Niagara Falls sounded like a treat, but the reality didn’t match the price tag. The seat was only a bit bigger, the legroom was nice, and I got a free drink—but that’s about it. No priority boarding, no special meals, and the bathroom wasn’t any better than coach. For $100 less, coach offers nearly the same experience. If you’re planning a long train trip, think twice before upgrading—sometimes, the basics are all you need. What’s your go-to for long train rides? #Transportation #Amtrak #TrainTravel20Share

AmeriStarRail just dropped plans for the Transcontinental Chief, a coast-to-coast route that could launch by 2026.

VortexVoyager+FollowAll Aboard: Amtrak’s Luxe Upgrade!Train travel in the Northwest is about to get a serious glow-up! Amtrak Cascades is rolling out brand new ‘Airo’ trains in 2026, with comfier seats, panoramic windows, free Wi-Fi, and even a café car serving food and drinks. These beauties are more eco-friendly and can seat almost double the passengers. The catch? Still just two arrivals and departures a day in Eugene, but at least the ride will feel way more bougie!

Michael Smith+FollowAmtrak’s Secret Best Deal? The Roomette!After 95 hours riding Amtrak in every class (yep, even the fancy bedroom), I swear the roomette is the move. It’s a private mini-cabin with beds, meals, and just enough space to feel cozy—not cramped. I tried coach, business, first class, and even splurged on the big bedroom, but nothing beats splitting a roomette with a friend. It’s like a rolling tiny home for half the price of the big suite. If you’re train-curious, this is the upgrade to snag! #Transportation #AmtrakAdventures #TrainTravel211Share
WildWanderlure+FollowTrains Across Switzerland: Not as Simple as the PhotosEveryone posts the window views—mountains, lakes, perfect light. But no one talks about the panic when you miss a connection in a town you can’t pronounce, or the way your suitcase feels heavier every time you change platforms. Swiss trains are efficient, sure, but they’re also relentless. You get five minutes to switch tracks, and the clock doesn’t care if you’re lost. I spent half my trip staring at timetables, not scenery. If you go, download the SBB app. Set alarms for every transfer. And don’t trust the calm faces around you—they’re locals. You’re not. That’s okay. Just don’t pretend you’re gliding through a postcard. You’re surviving it. #Travel #TravelRealityCheck #TrainTravel40Share
