It appears this could save as much as $288 on a full-length CZ trip, which for one adult could cost as much as $1480 (instead of $1768) with the new fare structure.

As a guess, at the bottom of the first page of that linked menu you'll find (if you really squint hard) . . . . . .which is probably Amtrak's cryptic way of saying Acela First Class, Nov 2023, Change 1.

This shows some CZ fares coaxed out of Arrow for a trip next year: Note the As Of date - no idea how long any of these will remain in effect. Not a single low bucket ($627) among them.

This shows three months of CZ Roomette fares: Add $288 for another adult. Deduct $29 for each adult discount. Please note the As Of date - they could all be different tomorrow.

These are the dollar increases for each sleeper bucket on the remainder of the trains: • SL +$21 • LSL (BOS) +$14 • CS +$18 • EB (SEA) +$30 • EB (PDX) +$30 • Auto Train +$53 Based upon the simplistic average of the previous lowest Roomette bucket and the highest Bedroom bucket for each...

As a wild guess, if you only checked one date and host railroad track work prevents Amtrak from running between those two points on that date, only alternate routes will be offered. Try other dates or the first station out of NOL.

One cherished memory is dining with a couple from the UK on the Empire Builder while in Montana. They were simply flabbergasted at the expanse of Big Sky Country.

Phone numbers for individual Amtrak stations are highly guarded secrets. Probably easier to find one for a Somali warlord.

If you book now at some higher fare and they later drop, call an AGR agent to have your booking MODIFIED to the lower fare - do not use the word cancel unless you want to cancel the whole trip. At present, the fares for two seniors in two Roomettes can range from $1196.40 to $2902.40 with seven...

Yes indeed! Things gain and lose heat/temperature in three ways - conduction, convention and radiation. On a sunny day when the Sun is perpendicular to a rusty rail, its rays can heat it well above the ambient temperature by radiation. On a sunny day at an outdoor swimming pool when the...

Have begun to gather data for a new chart with the recent fare increases and it appears each train has seen its sleeper fares go up by some fixed amount for all of its sleepers. So far, those increases are: • SWC & TE, +$22 • CZ, +$25 • CARD & LSL (NYP), +$13 • CONO, +$17 • CRES, +$21 •...

We are? Really and truly?? Gosh, I didn't know that was happening.

Another aggravating thing is the Sort/Filter feature resets to Departure Time after every search. I'd like to remain on Number Of Segments to make searching for the new higher buckets a little easier. Just now, it shows No Trains Available no matter what I search for. Seems like Amtrak IT has...

When my PC is in the high contrast mode, my old eyes can't see the difference between the color of the words these gadgets and the others in black. Didn't even think of putting the cursor there to make the underlining appear.

And just what are ". . .these gadgets..." ?

I noticed the increase for the CZ this morning. Biggest increase I noticed was high bucket Roomette went from $1455 to $1699 or up 17%.

This RPA version of the Cardinal timetable ... https://www.railpassengers.org/site/assets/files/20928/cardinal.pdf ... will help you make sure you're entering a day the Cardinal will be at your starting point and going in the desired direction. • If your starting point is served only by the...

The only practical way to tell how many sleepers (if any) are available is to do dummy bookings for 2, 4, 6 and 8 adults. If, for instance you're looking for a Roomette if they show up as available for 8 adults it means there at least 4 Roomettes available. But if they don't show up for 8...

At present, one-third of the LD trains with sleepers have eight fare buckets. Would like to see them go back to five buckets for all and reassign the maroon that came up with the eight bucket idea as the station manager at Sanderson TX!
