    Chicago Connections (better west to east for making connections)?

    Am I correct in thinking, when planning a one way cross country trip connecting in Chicago, that I would probably be better off booking West To East because of odds making connections in Chi Town? I ask this because I'm thinking of a trip (STP-SAC or SAC-STP) so this Florida Boy can experience...

    Bucket Pricing/Best Time to Book Trips?

    Round Trip Reservations (what will happen if arrival so late that I miss departure)?

    I have a round trip (same day connection) reservation next week (CHI-LAX/LAX-CHI) on the TE/ SWC. I booked this trip entirely as a train adventure with no destinations. Now, if for some FAR OUT REASON I should miss my connection back to CHI, would Amtrak treat this as all guaranteed connections...

    Cancellation Penalties?

    I have a trip in mind but I'm a little concerned about booking it this far out. In the past, if something came up I'd just cancel & rebook at a different date. As I understand, now I would get charged for doing that. Is my understanding correct or am I missing something?

    "Spotting?"

    I was watching You Tube Videos & heard the word spotting, as in 1st spotting/2nd spotting etc. Does this mean the train is too long for the platform & the train pulls up in order to load passengers?
