Hello, later this month I will be taking northbound Coast Starlight LAX to SEA. Very excited and can't wait, got bedroom.
1) What side of the train can I expect the bedrooms to be on? (e.g., the ocean side?)
2) Is there any jointed rail left anywhere along this run?
Thanks
First thing you'll want to do after getting to your bedroom is to inform your car attendant that you can be found in the PPC. The conductor will find you to get your tickets. :lol: Get to the PPC car ASAP 'cuz it's a popular car, and the prime seats fill up fast. The side that your bedroom will be be on is guesswork. It depends on how Amtrak decides to pull your car on that particular day.
I have no idea if there is any jointed rail on the run. I haven't noticed any. Then again, while on the Coast Starlight I'm not looking for that kind of thing. I'm too interested in the view, then the meals, then the sleep. All three are outstanding.
