I am planning a trip next spring. Chico, CA - Seattle (1 night) - Chicago ( 3 nights) - Portland - Chico.
The only reason I am staying one night in Seattle is that it almost seems hopeless to make the connection between trains north and east bound in Portland since the scheduled time between trains is 1 hour. Coming home the connection is 4 hours and I'm willing to take a chance being closer to home. I'd rather stay overnight in Seattle than Portland.
I looked at the last 3 days and the CS was always a few hours late and the EB seems to leave on time.
Has anyone had experience with these connections? Any recommendations?
