Perfect announcement would be traditional dining is returning to every train,The Sightseer car returns to the Texas Eagle and Capitol Limited and there is a sale on sleeper fares. One can dream.
Fantasize, you mean. Dreams are possible. Fantasies are unrealistic.

Amtrak Announcement: "We're going to one day a week". ONLY KIDDING! <----Please NOTE!!!!
 
My guess is a restoration of the full NEC schedule... I think that one of the only things that would make it to their Twitter.

The picture I posted was on Instagram, and they announced the return of traditional dining to western trains on it (and frequently advertise the scenic views). Their social media team is great.

Looks like I misidentified the platform, but I still hold the view that the most likely announcement on a weekend will be the restoration of the NEC to full schedule, since that is the last major part of the network to be reduced in schedule, which Amtrak doesn't have to negotiate with states over.
 
A real WAG how about some Siemens cars are going into service for CHI regionals. As well one or two Superliner routes will go back to single level so more SL cars for western trains.
 
Not to.. erm.. derail... the topic of this thread, but what have the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales been like in years past?

Just a flat percent off? I've been casually eyeing a relatively inexpensive/short sleeper trip, as well as a rail pass... might be tempted.

(Posted from aboard the Surfliner, I'm happy to say)
