It appears the options for your connecting train in Chicago to NYP are the LSL, CL/NER, and the Cardinal. Based on second hand info the Cardinal offers top scenery on eastbound travel and will terminate in NYP. I would choose that route. As far as lodging around NYP, the Hotel Pennsylvania http://www.hotelpenn.com is a choice some of our AU members have recommended in the past. Very close walking distance from NYP.Sorry.....but it now looks like we will take Amtrak from DAL to NYP, then fly back. Any hints about this trip? Lodging in NYC?
Thanks, Ryan. We changed plans and are taking TE and LSL to just go to NYP instead of DC. Tried to get Card, but all rooms were gone.....You would either have to do a separate redemption, or pay for a ticket to NYP. Doesn't look like the LSL is offered to DAL from anywhere on the corridor.
I would routinely check on room availability on the Card. Cancellations do occur. Case in point, just the other day, I was able to change my accommodations on the 421 Texas Eagle from two roomettes to a bedroom for a late November departure. This is a peak travel period and room availability equally hard to get as the Cardinal. I had been trying to get a bedroom for about three weeks now and perseverance paid off for me.Thanks, Ryan.
