Don't think VIA would suggest it either! Can't see any disadvantages of booking two one-ways over a round trip. Here in the U.K. most of the time it's cheaper to book two one ways rather than round trip especially if booking in advance and that's got nothing to do with taxes!

Another way to tell them apart is by the car number. Those numbered 32000 - 32069 are Superliner I sleepers and 32070 - 32118 Superliner II sleepers.

I think this is because AMTRAK will be running the "West Palm Beach Safety Patrol Train" on certain dates in Jan/Feb (Jan 15 is one of them) utilizing regular runs of the Silver Meteor. The general public are not permitted to travel on the Silver Meteor on these dates so i guess this is why the...
