[QUOTE]Originally posted by Liberty Limited: [QB] I'll do an overnight in coach if I have a travelling companion, but generally, I like to get a Roomette at the lowest bucket when I can plan enough ahead. Usually, my travel plans are flexible enough to find the cheap days. My last overnight in coach was certainly the worst that I've done - it was a year ago yesterday. A friend of mine and I booked a RT on a Rail Sale to Chicago aboard the Capitol returning on the Cardinal. The trip there was OK, though we arrived in CHI mid-afternoon. Returning, the Cardinal left at about 1130pm instead of 545pm due to freezing equipment and encountered problems enroute with HEP. We arrived in Cincinatti mid-morning (which admittedly was neat) but wound up not coming into Charlottesville until midnight. Our final arrival into Baltimore, scheduled for 738pm, did not come until 414am. So this meant two overnights on the train on an Amfleet II. I would still do an overnight in coach if I had to, as I do prefer the comeraderie of the coach crowd to the more stodgy feel of the sleeper crowd, but I certainly wouldn't do so on a single level train in cold weather.
