City of New Orleans-AMTRAK

Has anyone taken the Amtrak City of New Orleans train lately? I hear it tends to be delayed, so I was wondering how long the dealy can be?

I don%26#39;t care how long it has been since you have ridden the train, I was just want to hear some various delay stories.

Thanks ya%26#39;ll

The delay has been as long as eight-ten hours (arriving 3am) but is usually only an hour or two, if at all. This according to a friend who%26#39;s a concierge at a local hotel.

Amtrak does not use dedicated passenger lines. Instead, they ';piggyback'; on lines owned by freight companies. As you can imagine, the freight trains get priority.

Jackson, MS to New Orleans and back (2) times last year. No problems all stops were timely, maybe we were lucky?

The train drops you off in downtown New Orleans next to the Superdome, a 5 minute cab ride to the Quarter.

Enjoy!

My boss road the train back to Jackson,MS after Mardi Gras weekend and were 15 mins. early. I think it varies greatly. My b/f and I are riding the train to New Orleans from Jackson,MS March 21st and back the 24th. I will let you know how it goes.

Well I guess we%26#39;ll see you on the train, we%26#39;re also riding it on the 21st.

Ask the question on the Amtrak Forum and as is suggested here I think you will find out it%26#39;s not as bad as some make out.

lol Yeah, Guess we will see you there. lol Best of wishes to our Amtrak train ride lol

The City of NO has had a very good week.

Every train from Chicago to New Orleans has been on-time or early this week. Hope this means Amtrak is improving its on-time percentages overall!
