Okay, I have a weird question. Last spring when I wanted to take the Eagle and sleep on board at SAS, I'd considered booking it slightly further, but getting off at SAS just before the west bound would leave. Then get on board the north bound. Problem was Amtrak said that it was illegal (or at least against the rules to be scheduled "on two trains at the same time." Now to my question...
I'd love to invite my sisters or someone else to accompany me on my big trip (two zone redemption). My trip runs from CHI to SEA via the Eagle, then back on the EB to CIN. Now, as if that wasn't confusing enough... If I were to invite either of my siblings they'd bring the CL to CHI, then they'd probably want to return to CHI and go home on the CL again. The problem is that I'd have the ticket for both of us, right? Can she just detrain at CHI and get on another train running at the same time as she's supposed to be on the Card? In other words
I'm coach to CHI then begin the redemption: TE to CS to EB to Cardinal. My sister though would be TE to CS to EB to CL. Should this be doable? Anyone have any experience with this? ---- TIA, Linda.
