When I do a search for new fares for a train I usually do about 30 searches on different days at one sitting, then wait until Arrow allows more searches. Prompted by your post, I just completed the search for both Silvers and both Lake Shores and only needed to make estimates for two fares not...

Oh goody! :( But thanks anyway for the heads up.

You can see where to go using these timetables... https://www.railpassengers.org/resources/amtrak-timetables/ ...and see the routes on this... https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/Maps/Amtrak-System-Map-1018.pdf Getting familiar with these two resources...

Bear in mind that any TV-style meal can be goofed up if not properly prepared - especially the pasta portion, as depicted above.

Do you seriously think anyone here has the answers?

Don't know about breakfast, but Arrow tells me the CZ's departure time from EMY changes from 0910 to 0825 on 8 April and remains so for the foreseeable future. No change noticed in its 1400 departure time from CHI.

Could this possibly explain it? https://www.google.com/search?q=river+to+atlantic+and+pacific&oq=river+to+atlantic+and+pacific&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCTIzMjc2ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8f691851,vid:mN2flAvdQXU,st:0

This shows what's available for the taking on the FRA Safety Map: Label and arrow are mine. The route prior to the Moffat Tunnel is very interesting, to me at least. Same goes for the predecessors of the present Cascade Tunnel on the route of the Empire Builder.

That's my experience too. I've a sneaky feeling Amtrak IT has found a way to thwart RailForLess instead of doing something useful.

In addition to what joelkfla just said, I don't think there's really any way to tell if the bedrooms in your car will be on the north or south side of the train. FWIW, the north side is best for photography as that'll be the shady side with no sun glaring off the dirty windows. But as far as...

Been away a few weeks and have just discovered substantial fare increases on the SWC, TE, SL, CONO and AT. All others are $1 above what's shown on the chart in this thread: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 While the RailForLess...

Been away a few weeks and have just discovered substantial fare increases on the SWC, TE, SL, CONO and AT. All others are $1 above what's shown on the chart as noted in the previous post. While the RailForLess website . . .https://railforless.us/ . . . should ease the task of finding new...

Can see where menu refreshing is important for those who may stop riding only to do their laundry, but for others like myself it's of no concern whatsoever.

The fares you show reflect the $1 across the board increase for Coach and all Sleepers fares of a month or so ago and will not be shown on the chart until the next substantial fare increase and chart revision. Because of this all the fares now shown on the chart are $1 less than actual.

Well, think of all the millions of people in the US who can't get a Thruway bus link even if they do make it part of a train/bus trip.
