Looks like Amtrak knew our AU group would be on the West Coast the week before in October

Perhaps they needed to make up for the lack of business after we all get home :lol:

Or they knew we would be leaving space for others that week. I was disappointed with the date, would be nice to save on the Gathering trip.

Davis? That's highly random. Why not Sacramento?

Translation: We're running some super-long trains on the CS (when I was on it last week, it had an extra sleeper and an extra coach) in order to re-route people SEA-SAC-CHI, but they're going to be empty south of SAC. If you can fill up that space, we'd appreciate it!

Good read of the situation

DAV is the next stop after SAC!

Why give those rich people on SAC a savings?

Um, no! While you have to book now, you can't travel until the fall. By that time they'll have shrunk the consists back to normal off peak size. And I sure hope that flooding isn't still going on come the fall.
