Taking Amtrak not only "SAVES YOU GAS MONEY", It keeps you away from heavy congestion and the race against the clock which causes tension and stress, by taking Amtrak you can ride in comfort and relaxation, So you can enjoy the views which are inspirational day or night, and you'll have plenty of time to put the finishing touches on your speech for that upcoming convention, which is a couple of hours away an impossible task if you're driving or you can work on your blog or maybe write a couple of poems your choice, again a difficult task if you're driving. You deserve to enjoy an unique experience through time, to be remembered and appreciated. Whether you're on vacation or traveling to that important convention, Yes taking Amtrak is positive in so many different ways, Hands down "FIVE STARS"

We changed from an Amtrak bus to a train here. Very large and beautiful station where the bus drops you off. Unfortunately the women's restroom was closed when we arrived l. The staff were friendly and helpful. A bit of a walk from station to where the train is but there are clear directions

Easy access from downtown Sacramento, Starbucks near front entrance. Loads of room on Amtrak train for people, bicycles etc., Train was comfy and quiet. Departed 40 minutes late because of train malfunction but we were kept well informed of progress. Staff A+++
They have many trains in the capitol corridor train. Check the schedule on the internet. Arrive early to purchase your ticket at the counter. They charge a premium on the train.
I have done it many times. As long as you are departing from the originally scheduled station and going to the same destination, the time/date doesn't really matter.
Do I need to reserve a people mover in advance for transportation to the train platform? The train leaves tomorrow (7/17) at 8:15 am, with a return train arriving at 9:15pm same day.

How can i catch a train without id
Karrie Calhoun | Aug 26, 2021
Christy Oler | Aug 26, 2021
Most of the time they dont ask for ID just have your ticket pulled up and ready
If someone is sending me a ticket and I dont have an ID can I still travel

kimberly elliott | Aug 26, 2021
Yes you can have them send it to your email make sure it's in your phone when you get to the station show them the ticket on your phone and they will tell you what train
No. Whole system is cashless now. Tickets must be purchased online or at the counter with a credit or debit card. If you don't have one, you could try a pre-paid visa.
I'm thinking of purchasing a train ticket from Grand junction to Eugene but there's an 11hr lay over in Sacramento....are there locker's there to store my luggage, so I can go sight seeing!?
Lisa Kanahele | Aug 27, 2019
Carl Bowles | Aug 27, 2019
No but if you check your bags they will keep them in the back.
Are there ticket vendors there I can pay in cash? Or could I pay in cash upon boarding?

There is a window at the station. You don't need cash. You also can purchase online at https://www.amtrak.com/tickets-reservations. The tix come to your email as a PDF attachment. Open the PDF on your phone, and train conductor can scan.

Im trying to change my email address on my profile. But there is no edit button. I've tried the phone number, but it does not connect. How do I proceed?

Cherie Kraus | Aug 26, 2020
No they don't have lockers. They will hold your bags for a fee.
Hello! I take the CCT periodically from Sacto to Martinez. From train, I go through some hills to my destination (10 m). May I take a small vespa on the train? An electric bike will not do the hills. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Padreek Webster | Aug 27, 2019
I know they have a place on the train to store bicycles. Limited number of spots. Sorry I could not be more help. God Bless

Walk out of the station and make a right, on the other side of the freeway, tons of restaurants and local stores and railroad museum waiting for you. Or if you make a left and immediate right, the shopping mall is one block away. Enjoy and have fun!!!
Why Amtrak is delayed ?

Are you looking for a philosophical answer? ;)
is the Sacramento Valley Station near the lightrail
is there overnight parking at any of the Sacramento Amtrak stations?
Liz Marr | Aug 27, 2018
Rick Given | Aug 27, 2018
Yes. Right next to station is expensive but there are several private lots that less money.
Does Amtrak have service from Sacramento to Alpine Texas
Sid Williams | Aug 27, 2018
Karen Stoffers-Pugh | Aug 27, 2018
Call Amtrak or go to amtrak. Com. There is service from Los Angeles on the sunset limited to Alpine Texas. You would have to book a train from Sacramento to Bakersfield and then take the Amtrak bus from Bakersfield to Los Angeles
Maybe for the capitol corridor train. But you should be contacting the capitol corridor or Amtrak to ask. It isn't that reliable to ask Google maps a question when you should have asked the vendor who sold it to you....
Parking is NOT free. It is a short term lot with central meter stations. I am not sure how much but you get a ticket if you don't pay. I think that you can long term park at the lot under the freeway. If you want a reliable answer you should probably check with parking enforcement. BUT AGAIN, THE PARKING IS NOT FREE...
I have traveled twice with my kids by Amtrak for school field trips and yes you want to be there before 6:40AM to catch the train. And if your parents can't be there to pick up early enough when you guys are back, cross street to Denny's and wait there instead. Have a fun yet safe field trip. It is worth the efforts.
