Using a red cap at amtrak tomorrow for the first time

Anonymous
Quick question - once the red cap takes my things from the cab do we need to go straight to the train? Trying to figure out how to buy food for the trip. Will he wait while I get food?

You give him the bags and he will tell you where to meet him and when. You can roam about as you please till meeting time. Just one note, you can't always get one at the curb. Sometimes you have to walk inside to the red cap stand.

I love red caps. You are on and settled in while everyone else is lined up waiting to board. It is the best money I spend all trip.

He might take you to a waiting area. I'm sure they would - so nice! But definitely tip extra!
