Recent posts have raised some questions in my mind about this departure from LAX.
Red Cap service, even using a golf cart, has been mentioned in getting from the Metropolitan Lounge to the train or the reverse. What kind of distance is involved from the Lounge to the train platform? I will have one checked piece of luggage, but will carry on the train a hard-side one suiter(fits perfectly in a Superliner Roomette on the steps leading to the upper berth) and a small over the shoulder soft piece of luggage. I would appreciate thoughts as to whether I ought to request Red Cap Service for boarding.
Questions about dinner being served leaving LAX: Only a limited menu--three entrees--seems to be available. If so, what might the entrees expected to be? A couple of posts which I have read indicate that the Sleeping Car Attendant will have already made a dinner reservation for me and I will be so informed once boarding the train. Really? I have no choice? No Happy Hour possibility before dinner?
Lots of great information on this forum and I truly appreciate reading the responses that are posted. Thanks!
