[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Best advice I can give you, Ms. Laura, is to keep checking the website for any Sleeper space becoming available. Since you are already ticketed, the upgrade would have to be done with an agent. Amtrak clears their inventory of expired reservationa at "oh dark thirty" which I think is 3AM ET. While conceivably you wish to be adverturesome on your outward trip aboard #29(26), once you have been in Sleeper, you won't want to even think of Coach again (just my thought, others will disagree). Somehow, I think you will be returning on #30(8JUL) in Sleeper. Also, I must ask you note that Long Distance (LD in forum shorthand) trains such as the Capitol Limited are not like trains in the UK, which will, say, get up to speed as soon as clearing the "throat" at KC wil will not slow down, save the stone arch bridge at Berwick until reaching Edinburgh Waverly. Over there, passenger trains are what the rail system is all about, here the few passenger trains away from the Northeast move at the sufferance of the railroad's (CSX and Norfolk Southern) freight traffic. Delays account heavy freight traffic are quite commonplace. But as the more avid riders here will always say, think of this as an adventure. i think you agree; for if you were looking for Point A to B transportation, you would be on Big Bird. [/QB][/QUOTE]
