So I'm traveling March 8th and 15th on Amtrak from DC to Chicago and back, and while I've decided on the Capitol Limited with a roomette for the first leg of the trip, since it's the only DC-Chicago train that day, I'm having trouble deciding on the return trip to DC from Chicago.
Right now, my options for the 15th are the Cardinal or another Capitol Limited. Regardless of which one I take, I'll be buying a roomette. I'm looking at the Cardinal due to the longer trip and more daylight hours during the trip, plus the New River Gorge, though the leaves will be out by March....... I've heard Viewliner roomettes are better than Superliner roomettes, though. However, the Cardinal is more expensive for a roomette, overall, for my booking (at the moment it's the same for people booking now, but when I booked I got it for about a hundred dollars less on the Cap).
Anyone taken a similar trip before and can advise me?
