Hi All,
I'm taking some time for myself this memorial day weekend and I've bought tickets for a quick trip to Chicago. I'll be leaving from NY Penn Station on the Cardinal (coach class to Chicago) and returning on the Capitol Limited (roomette to Washington and then Northeast Regional home).
I've decided to go coach class on the Cardinal because (A) I refuse to pay an absorbent amount of money for a shorter trip and ( B ) I'd like an adventure. I'm basically posting because I have no idea what to expect on the Cardinal.
Will I be one of the few (if not only one) traveling through to Chicago in coach?
I'm boarding from NY Penn in the morning, will there be alot of people boarding the Cardinal there?
Any recommendations on which side to sit? (I've heard the right side is better)
Any chance of eating dinner in the "diner side" of the diner-lite car?
Anything else you guys can think of, or offer advice, please share! Thanks.
