Over the years I've found that sleeper buckets are in a rough geometric progression, or each higher bucket is some multiple of the previous one. But the ratio between two adjacent buckets is not constant and increases slightly as the values of successive buckets increase. Using the SWC/TE...

Note that the $706 low bucket was an estimate - estimated because I'd never seen one offered. FWIW, here's how I made that estimate: Divided the 6th root of 1624 ÷ 796 into 796.

Here's a clearer version of the latest bucket chart: What puzzles me is the 6 Roomette fares found for the CONO. Other trains have either 5 or 8 sleeper buckets. Maybe it's an error on my part or Arrow or maybe it really does have 6 sleeper buckets. Would like to know if anyone else has...

Re-did the chart above for better clarity.

One of the nifty things about driving over Stevens Pass is you can wait patiently at the pull-off at the East Portal and watch the ventilation doors open just before a train either emerges or enters. After a train clears the tunnel the doors will close and the huge ventilation fans can be heard...

Yup. Nope.

An updated bucket chart just got posted here: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 Some fares only went up $1 but most had hefty increases. Note that CL and SS fares are valid only through about 8 Nov 2024. Legibility's not the...

Well, after two months of fiddling, here's the latest version of the chart: The legibility's not all that great, but whaddya want for nothing? :)

One way I know of to find out is to research the USGS archives for old topographical maps of that area. It has maps that date back over 100 years. Might take a while to learn how to navigate this: https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/#4/39.98/-100.06 Some areas have topo maps dating as...

While that may be so it's speculation. What's not speculation is that VacationsToGo shows 9 of 11 sailings out of Tampa the rest of this month are sold out: https://www.vacationstogo.com/ticker.cfm?incCT=y&d=315&sm=20245&tm=202412&pdm=1 Of course, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale have more dock...

If you consider a 25% off coupon to be meager, then I don't think you should take the survey.

Don't worry about it. Even if they're spotlessly clean when departing Denver, after the first few tunnels diesel exhaust residue will dirty them up nicely. If it's dry outside dust churned up from the roadbed will add to the grunge. And if it happens to be raining that'll cause streaks in the...

One reason for the large number of passengers is Tampa is a cruise ship port - one of five or six in Florida

They have one that's six years old and many of the thruway bus links shown are no longer exist: w.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/Maps/Amtrak-System-Map-1018.pdf

AFAIK, the Family Bedroom on the other end also has two half-size window - just like the Accessible Bedroom.

Just now worked for me using Chrome.

Hint: Join AGR. AGR agents are the best Amtrak has and I've never waited more than about a minute to get in touch with one.

Uh. . . why not ask Amtrak?

When I do a search for new fares for a train I usually do about 30 searches on different days at one sitting, then wait until Arrow allows more searches. Prompted by your post, I just completed the search for both Silvers and both Lake Shores and only needed to make estimates for two fares not...
