Amtrak, train #30, Capital Limited delays

[Sirfoldalot]

Have really enjoyed following your adventure, and have a few questions ...
What kind of accommodations did you purchase?
Would you make any changes to them in the future?

Thanks,

I got regular coach, which I have done before.

Truth be told, one reason I took the train was economy. It was a lot cheaper than even driving the distance (800 miles or so) would have been, considering I no longer do the trip in a straight shot but need to stop for the night halfway. And airfares aren't as cheap as they once were. But I do enjoy the train, too.

Part 2 of my answer will have to wait, as we're about to disembark... More in a bit...

So, part 2 of that answer. In 2013 DairyStateMom and I took Amtrak's Lakeshore Limited to NYC with one of the small sleepers. It was great. For the two of us, it was probably a little more expensive than flying, but definitely worth it. Fiscally that wasn't what I was going to spend my money on this time, especially since I am going solo. (Someone has to stay home and see DairyStateKid-M off to his Army Reserve physical Sunday afternoon.) I had thought I would pass up this HS reunion entirely, but as it drew closer, I found I really wanted to go...
