Also mid-March is spring break for like a thousand colleges and even more K-12 schools, could it be the trains just got booked up? I reserved really early

It is pretty routine for them to just post "No Availability" which looks like "Booked Solid" when this stuff occurs. Yheir website is so archaic, idiotic, confusing... (You get the picture)... I don't think the Commodore 64 on which it runs can handle the extra load.
Believe me when I say that being a member of AGW and calling THEIR number is the only way to go. Sure, use www.juckins.net for a trove of great information.

https://juckins.net/amtrak_routes/amtrak_routes.php MAPS!!!
https://juckins.net/amtrak_timetables/archive/home.php TIMETABLES!!!

to get timetables for your desired routes, do a little plotting, then call AGW and ax them (as my Cajun Grandma used to say) what's the best deal.

I don't work for them or get paid by them, I just would like everyone to know of the benefits.

Just called guest rewards. She checked for me based on my reservation number and said she saw no scheduled trackwork and that I would receive a text and an e-mail if anything changed.

So for now I'm assuming everything is OK but of course now I am going to worry I'll be up there and find out that SURPRISE I will be in St. Louis and will have to rent a car from there to get to Mineola. Which I GUESS I could do but which I would not like

I just heard that notices will be going out this week or next for travel in April.

Good info. We may just fly (ACK!) or drive DFW-NOL and take the CONO for our Spring trip.
