Safety tips

Arrive early
to avoid rushing to your train. (To get the current expected arrival time, call 1 800 USA-RAIL. or check online.)

Watch your step when boarding and leaving the train.

Use handrails
when boarding, climbing stairs or moving through the train.

Don't run.
Please WALK in the station and on the train.

Take time
to review the Amtrak Passenger Safety Instruction card in the seat pocket. If this card is missing, ask the Train Attendant.

Amtrak's Texas Eagle is equipped with bi-level Superliner cars and staffed with a crew dedicated to your comfort.

Stretch out in a coach seat or snuggle into a sleeping compartment, enjoy a meal in the Dining Car, head over to the lounge for scenery by day or movies by night. Or just get up and walk around whenever you like.

BAGGAGE

Each ticketed passenger can carry on up to 2 pieces of reasonable size and weight (no more than 50 pounds).

If you are traveling between 2 stations where checked baggage is handled, you may check up to 3 pieces per guest--again, of reasonable size and weight. Check the station list in the table at right. If your originating point and destination are both listed, then you can check baggage for your trip.

In fact, when checked baggage is available, you are strongly encouraged to carry only what you need en route and check the rest.

P.S. If you have a large number of pieces to ship, and if checked baggage service is available for your trip, consider Amtrak's small package express service.

SMOKING

Smoking is prohibited in all areas of the train, including sleeping cars, coaches, lounges and dining cars.

Amtrak's smoking policies are subject to change. For the latest information, consult your Amtrak ticket or travel agent, or call Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL.
