So I am about to take my first Empire Builder adventure from Chicago all the way to Emeryville, about 6 weeks from today.
However as this is a return trip from the midwest, I have a limited time frame in which to travel, and the sleeper cars are all sold out, and have been for the past week, what is the possibility that they will add another car to the train?
I think that they may have just done this with the CZ because when I checked on Tuesday, roomettes were sold out, and Weds I logged in and got one at the cheapest price. . .but maybe that is just wishful thinking on my part.
I can coach it if I have to, and have thought about maybe spending one night in Havre, MT, which would give me the chance to shower in the middle of the trip--I have no problem sleeping in coach--its the non showering, and this trip is longer than the CZ route. It appears that I can get a room under $80 there. . .but not sure how close to station, and not sure if there are buses and cabs and such.
Thanx in advance
