I am planning a rewards trip from MSP to SEA. I realize that the train is dual numbered as 7/27. My understanding is that when the westbound EB reaches Spokane, WA in the middle of the night, that the train is taken apart, i.e. split in two, where 7 goes to Seattle, and 27 goes to Portland, OR.
My question is the booking of a bedroom. The Amtrak website (and amsnag) lists the rooms kind of oddly. As in:
7 - (Coach Fare Price) + Bedroom option prices
27 - (Coach Higher Fare Price) + Bedroom option prices
7 - (Coach Higher Fare Price) + Bedroom option prices (lower price)
So is it the "first" 7 I want to book on for the Bedroom as it is the same bedroom compartment all the way from MSP to SEA?
What is the "second" 7 all about? Does it mean you have a coach seat from MSP to Spokane, and you only get a bedroom for the small jaunt from Spokane to SEA?
