Yes, I brought this up a few weeks ago. It was a great discussion but only this actually worked: "I first added a senior traveler in addition to the standard adult, then removed the adult and added one again. At that point, the app put the senior as "Traveler 1" and the adult as "Traveler 2"...

Thank you, and will do!

We're going to be in car 830 of the EB Seattle to Chicago Dec 17-19. What are the chances our sleeper car won't be there? Is the same thing happening on the LSL?

We'll be going east on the EB in mid-December. Any tricks we should know about for greatest enjoyment?

Thank you. We ran into that problem several years ago when the renovations had just been completed. Almost missed our ride.

On Saturday, Dec 3, late afternoon, we have to get from the Springfield train station to Bradley International airport. On weekdays you can get a bus from Windsor Locks station to the airport. But on Saturdays that bus service isn't available. We can do Lyft for that part. But what I'm wondering...

It was much easier just to arrive in a timely fashion, sit around with our luggage and eat all the free snacks.

I just love the way you've explained this. Makes me wonder how many key parts of our infrastructure built so long ago in terms of advances in programming are running on foundations as creaky as all the bridges that need replacing.

We stayed at the Bright Angel Lodge last March, early in the month, and were super impressed with how clean and luxurious it was for the price, under $80 (no fireplace in other room). And right at the rim.

We'll finally use our GR passes tomorrow to hang in the Metropolitan lounge in the 30th Street station, Philadelphia, waiting for the NER. Is there luggage storage included there as there is in Chicago?

Thanks so much! I rather enjoy the long walk, just about the only way to get any exercise. Good point about hot water! Heh...hubby and I actually enjoy cold showers, learned from Wim Hof, so that cold shower will be welcome. 😁

In mid-December we're taking the Empire Builder Seattle to Chicago car 830 room 6. And the LSL car 4820 room 1. Is there anything seriously wrong with either of these rooms?

I just love the way you explained all this. Thanks for taking the time.

Totally in the plan! Might even hang in the first class lounge as we also have coupons for that. But... But... Quiet was the point of BC, wasn't it? Does this mean coach is the quiet place now? 🤣

Good Lord Almighty! It's basically as complicated and non-functional as I feared only in my worst nightmares. Thank you for all this detail. You've given me plenty to think about! I have to use the coupons now before they expire, no other trips planned. I think I'll try calling and see what...

Hubby and I will be taking the Valley Flyer Springfield to New Haven, changing to Northeast Regional to go to Philadelphia. I want to use some points to upgrade to business class, but it appears the Valley Flyer has no business class. Is it true that I can't do this upgrade until 12 hours before...

I've ridden the LSL several times, years ago Syracuse to Boston, and lately Springfield to Chicago. Whether in coach or roomette, I've found the ride enjoyable, particularly through the Berkshires. Since I would never take Amtrak to actually be somewhere on time, I don't mind the slow pace...

I've traveled west and east on the CZ and yes, it's more scenic than the SWC. When taking the SWC, we stopped at Flagstaff, stayed a night in an historic hotel two blocks from the station, took a shuttle bus to the Grand Canyon, spent one night in a lovely hotel right on the rim, then back to...

I decided to fly to Seattle and take trains back to Massachusetts from there. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for this most complete reply!
