Oops!!

FYI, when searching for Bedroom fares on the LSL from BOS to CHI for the 24 Nov thru 31 Dec period your site returned about 22 different fares ranging from $906 to $3148. That $3148 fare was on 21Dec when Amtrak shows sleepers sold out. Some fares are only $2 apart.

Why not see for yourself by following along the route using the imagery available here: https://fragis.fra.dot.gov/GISFRASafety/ Once upon a time Amtrak used to provide Route Guides that contained info on the notable features along each route. Thankfully, they're still available here...

Here's an updated SM chart: Can't tell if the missing (eighth) Roomette bucket is the high or low one, so there's an [estimate] for both.

FWIW, the plan is to completely re-do the bucket chart after the SS becomes part of the Floridian route - about a month from now. In the meantime, here's an updated chart for the SM: Can't tell whether the eighth Roomette fare is high or low bucket, hence the two estimates - hoping there's...

Thanks for that input. That makes a total of 8 different Bedroom fares, To match that I need to find 1 more Roomette fare (in addition to the one new one you also found). Be nice if Amtrak added another bucket for a total of 9 - that way there's be a middle bucket again! :rolleyes:

My earliest fare bucket chart was about 9 years ago and it shows a high bucket Bedroom fare on the SWC (or TE) of $135 + $1631 = $1766 which is. . . . . .only up 63% to todays $2880. Back then the total fare for one adult was the sum of the $135 Saver Fare and the $1631 accommodation fare...

That $2880 Bedroom high bucket fare you found is not the highest among all the LD routes. There are three others that are about $400 more and they can be seen here: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7

Normal high bucket.

Thanks for the new low buckets.

Cost pre mile, at least for the EB, depends on the portion of the whole route booked as shown in the right hand column below: Don't know if this sort of thing applies to the NEC or if this eight year old data still applies, but I suspect it does. Here, the ¢ / mile nearly doubles if only 1/5...

For travel between NYP and CHI all I can tell you is the fares I have found for the LSL and Cardinal which can be seen here: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 Unfortunately for you, the only Coach fare posted is the...

Here's an updated fare chart: Need the two Bedroom fares in brackets to finalize it.

Eight Bedroom fares have now been found... ...so there's probably two additional Bedroom fares yet to be found. The square brackets indicate those two fares are merely my estimates.

:thanks: for finding the $884. I'd found an $804 Roomette fare yesterday so that makes 8 fares for Roomettes That implies there are two additional Bedroom fares yet to be found and which I estimate to be $1382 and $1522.

91 miles in 25 minutes indicates an average speed over 200mph. HSR has arrived!!! :p

Perhaps to discourage short sleeper trips in order to make room for those booking longer trips?

As shown in this diagram.... ...Room 2 is upstairs, close to the loo, stairs and coffee pot (where bottled water is usually available). There may be no way to tell whether your room will be on the North or South side of the train. The sleeping car attendant will occupy Room 1 across from you.

Not sure what you mean by service but here's the layout of your car ;

Found two more Bedroom fares, so. . . There's probably two more fares not yet found for each sleeper.
