We looked forward to our mini vacation and even booked a First Class bedroom on the train. The previous month we had booked an amtrak roomette and enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again this month on a longer route with a bigger room. During that train ride, we had excellent service in first Class ! The attendants were awesome ! They were very friendly, attentive, and happy to see ya ! This recent journey, however, wasn't even on par. Sadly because we had expectations of an awesome experience again but it wasn't even close. I will say though, in everyone else's defense, it was really only 1 person that made the trip so miserable; Jan, the lead attendant in the First Class dining car. She was not happy. Not nice. Talked down to you if you accidentally did something wrong that went against her routine. Just not polite at all. Ever. She had a cutting , condescending demeanor toward not only the passengers but her fellow co worker working underneath her as well. Everything was done like roll call. Very routine and very strict very impersonal. No pleasure in her voice at all whether making announcements or talking to you directly. Not a good experience for us as far as dining goes. Our room attendant, on the other hand, was wonderful, and expressed care for her passengers. She was very attentive and a very sweet personality. In the end, this experience set us back a little bit with Amtrak. First Class rooms are too expensive to endure the treatment we received from her 3 times daily at mealtime. Something which should be pleasurable. I do not wish anyone the misfortune to get her as their dinning car attendant. I'm not sure if and when we will travel with Amtrak again.

(Part of a Christmas package) (We did an all public transportation experience and walked a bit.) We arrived about 45 mins before departure and got situated after conductor directed us where we needed to go. Lower level reservation is what we had. The chairs were comfy. Bathrooms clean! A couple of them were spacious as well. The space in the lower level car and the plugins were pretty awesome says my daughters. Took a visit to the cafe car when it opened up. Smiles from the staff. Thank you for being awesome On the return trip A Hicks - Train conductor made the girls day/night as we boarded the train some people were seated in lower with upper level seats. We got the logistics ironed out and away we are back to Oklahoma City. The ride was smooth and swift! **Only suggestions I have for Amtrak is better family friendly schedule for return trip. Leaving at 520pm was tough to plan out from the hotel standpoint...but we managed. Girls got a picture with the train driver!!! Mr Darryl did a fantastic job. We are already looking to book another train trip somewhere! Respectfully, Bryan and family Yukon, Oklahoma

Fort Worth Central Station-- Fort Worth, TX…read more The Historic Wall was dedicated on Feb. 24, 2002, to commemorate the important and vibrant African-American commercial and historic warehouse district that existed at the site of the Fort Worth Central Station between 1865 and 1940. Trinity Metro developed this display to perpetuate the economic and cultural contributions of this era. Panel A | 1865-1876: The first panel of the Historic Wall celebrates the infancy of Fort Worth. African Americans were among the cowboys driving cattle to the city, as well as owning saloons and other service businesses. The first recorded African-American businessman was John Pratt, a blacksmith, in 1865. Panel B | 1876-1900: In 1876, the train arrived in Fort Worth brining settlers of Chinese, Irish and Africa-American descent to live in the city. Other transportation options sprung up including the first horse-drawn trolley. Panel C | 1900-1920: By 1907, there were more than 50 African-American-owned businesses flourishing in the area including doctors, hotels, barbershops, dentists, tailors, millineries, butchers, grocers and beauty shops. Panel D | 1920-1930: This era marked the beginning of modernization in Fort Worth. Deliveries were made by motor cars, as there were no more horses and mules in town. The city and the African-American business district began to diversify. Panel E | 1930-1940: The jazz age came to Fort Worth in a big way with performances at the Ritz Theater and Jim Hotel and the Masonic Mosque. T. Bone Walker (just learned about him at a Blues Festival ), Mahalia Jackson, Pops Carter, local drummer Sonny Strain and many others were seen at local clubs wearing zoot suits and saddle shoes. #FortWorthCentralStation #HistoryLesson #FunFacts #TheMoreYouknow #BlackHistory

However, there were two conductors I wanted to visit with in making my goodbyes. As a result, I boarded the train at the time my associates were working. We rode to and from the airport, having a time of fellowship all along the way. Knowing they were still "on the job", I made sure our final hurrah didn't impede their duties. Upon returning to the T&P Station, our departure was very bittersweet. Walking away from the train, I made another quick glance toward the sweet memories I was leaving.

The station itself is pretty simple, a kiss and ride style stop with some parking and pickup/drop off spots. The only downside was that I didn't necessarily see any restrooms at the stop for weary travelers waiting for family. Sure, the train has a couple (which is definitely appreciated compared to other commuter rails/transit systems I've ridden) but nothing at the stop.

I've seen local PD monitoring the lot at times as well. There aren't very many places to sit if you need to wait but overall the location is kept very clean. The ticket machines seem to be in working order as well. If you ride the TRE often you will find that many of the delays start at this point for some reason. Lots of cars trying to move past the guard rails and get stuck on tracks. Traffic can be heaving when leaving in the evenings as you try to go north in Handley-Eaderville road.

It is a train wreck. Only kidding. Never seen a wreck here…read more Sometimes getting in and out of the parking is difficult. If you are a non-train rider and if you can avoid the area please do. Through traffic is a real pain. Multiple stops lights close together, rail road crossings and cars cutting through from I30 and 183 bring traffic to a stand still. Typically takes 10 -15 minutes to get past the station. The price of a commute is a little steep if you need to the two zones. If you have more than two people, it makes no sense to take the train for a normal commute. For special events it is a time and effort saver, only if the train goes to where you want. As on any public transportation, you will find the obnoxious taking 4 seats. Pretty clean and patrolled by the transit police - where is your ticket. If you are thinking about freeloading, you get to go to court. I heard the TRE Police say they did not know the price of a violation, but she would be there.
