If you book train 421/422, you don’t have to transfer yourself. 21/22 refers to the standard daily CHI-SAS Texas Eagle, while 421/422 refers to the CHI-LAX sleeper and coach transferred between the TE and Sunset thrice weekly, so that passengers don’t have to transfer.If I book CHI-TUS in a roomette on the Texas Eagle, is it possible to avoid changing trains to the Sunset Limited/ i/e/ does the sleeper just get transferred so we can stay on board?
Just to clarify this, you need to make sure you’re booked on 421 or 422 the entire way. If you’r booked on 21 to San Antonio and then 421 to Tucson, you will have to switch. If you’re booked on 421 to San Antonio and then 1 to Tucson, you will have to switch. It has to be 421 or 422 the WHOLE WAY.If you book train 421 westbound or train 422 eastbound, the sleeper will be automatically switched in San Antonio. But if you book 21 to 1 or 2 to 22, you must get off at San Antonio and wait until general boarding of the next train. (For train 22, that is at least 6:30 am!)
