We are taking the Pacific Surfliner from San Diego, to connect with the Coast Starlight in Los Angeles.
We will then go either to Portland or Seattle. From there we are taking the Empire Builder home to Dearborn Michigan.
We are booking roomettes on both trains. We also plan on overnighting in a hotel before we board the EB.
2 questions.... will we have any trouble connecting in Los Angeles? There is not a lot of time from the arrival of the PS to the departure of the CS.
And, should we connect in Portland or Seattle? If we decide on Portland, we will be closer to the observation car. Won't that be better?
It seems like a lot of cars to pass thru to get to the observation car from the Seattle portion of the train. I know we will want to be up there most of the time, and not in the roomette.
With all the coach cars, is it hard to find a chair in the observation car?
