The woman on the phone wouldn't tell me exactly when this happened. Maybe she doesn't know, but now, taking a trip to Washington, DC is now considered central zone as well as eastern.
My current trip, SAC>CHI>WAS is only 2-zones. Apparently, with all of the WAS detours people have to take to catch another train back into central zone has caught the attention of AGR. As well as the lost revenue for all those connecting trains the people seem to not be boarding just to get a cheaper rate to WAS. (i.e. booking SAC to ATL rather than SAC to WAS to make it 2-zone instead of 3-zone. AGR said that because of all the connecting trains to and from WAS, it will only be 3-zone if your connecting train ends in the eastern zone.
