Watching this train's performance over many months. the Silver Meteor's time of arrival at Washington varies considerably. Sometimes early, sometimes close to on time, sometimes late, sometimes very late.
How is a sleeping car passenger to know? If the train seems to be running late when I retire for the night, makes up time while I would be asleep, maybe on time, maybe somewhat late as it approaches Washington. How does one deal with this situation?
I have learned that the Dining Car does not open for Breakfast until 6:30 A.M. It would be foolish to try to use that service if the train's arrival time would be close to their opening time.
I'd prefer not having to arise too early if the train is running late. But, I want the proper amount of time to shower and get dressed without being rushed. Having the time to enjoy a breakfast in the Dining Car would be a plus!
Suggestions and advice are appreciated.
