Oh to have more of the phonebook size printed bible of Amtrak trains and routes circa 2016.
I have one dogeared copy and wish I had grabbed more - although dated the track mileage
and timing albeit a few minutes off is valid for guess-a-mating for figuring things out DIY !
At least Amtrak could make digital copies of it available with current correct data.
That is current correct up to date digital copies that can be updated frequently without the
need of going a paper printed copy route.
Amtrak needs to get out of the pony express mode and adopt the airline reservations system.
When booking a sleeper accommodation one should be able to see and select from the
available empty rooms - not be given an arbitrary random assignment - which although it
can be changed - only by calling an Amtrak agent or visiting an Amtrak ticket office.
Such a simple nuisance that shouldn't have to be.
