Here's a clearer version of the latest bucket chart: What puzzles me is the 6 Roomette fares found for the CONO. Other trains have either 5 or 8 sleeper buckets. Maybe it's an error on my part or Arrow or maybe it really does have 6 sleeper buckets. Would like to know if anyone else has...

Re-did the chart above for better clarity.

One of the nifty things about driving over Stevens Pass is you can wait patiently at the pull-off at the East Portal and watch the ventilation doors open just before a train either emerges or enters. After a train clears the tunnel the doors will close and the huge ventilation fans can be heard...

Yup. Nope.

An updated bucket chart just got posted here: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 Some fares only went up $1 but most had hefty increases. Note that CL and SS fares are valid only through about 8 Nov 2024. Legibility's not the...

If you consider a 25% off coupon to be meager, then I don't think you should take the survey.

Don't worry about it. Even if they're spotlessly clean when departing Denver, after the first few tunnels diesel exhaust residue will dirty them up nicely. If it's dry outside dust churned up from the roadbed will add to the grunge. And if it happens to be raining that'll cause streaks in the...

One reason for the large number of passengers is Tampa is a cruise ship port - one of five or six in Florida

They have one that's six years old and many of the thruway bus links shown are no longer exist: w.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/Maps/Amtrak-System-Map-1018.pdf
