While messing around on the amtrak site, I saw that EMY to NOL gives many route choices on certain days.
Considering best scenery, comfort and services of trains (hopefully AGR for sleepers), safety of making connections, etc., which routes do you think are best, and why:
Pacific Surfliner/Sunset Limited
Coast Starlight/SL
PS/SWChief/CONO
CZ/CONO
These are also choices, and are the choices offered in reverse for ATL-EMY. In addition to comparing with the above, which is the better of the two?
CZ/Cap Ltd/Crescent
CZ/Cardinal/Crescent
The PS includes various buses and/or Cap Corridor but gets the coastal views.
Regarding the CZ, this would probably be a return (second) trip on it, but I would still consider it because of the scenery. Just looking at possibly not flying for at least one of the legs of the trip, esp if I wind up solo. Or for a later trip.
I was surprised at all the route choices that popped up! There are even variations of the above.
Since these routes were options without using the Multicity function, I'm assuming they are all only one AGR redemption. I'm also assuming that unless I were very, very lucky the CL/Cardinal routes would make it a 3-zone instead of a 2-zone redemption, even if booked to ATL or ATN.
Lots of choices, what do you like? Thanks much-
