I have stayed at this hotel maybe 3 times, friendly, clean, good value but HARD beds

the Fall colors for the Cardinal must be awesome.

and I thought I have heard everything

what a waste......

thanks for the great pics and report!!

It used to run on the Cardinal in the fall too but did not last year ( I think) Any news about Ocean View on the Cardinal this year?

best tip for traveling the Empire builder regardless of mobility aids: PATIENCE

yikes

Most receipts now show the time of transactions, AGR looks at the time and can tell if you where logged into the Shopping Mall for AGR at the time of purchase.

Is there more horn blowing these days? (many more crossings?) Just wondering.

What is the history of AGR point increases.? Anyone know how often it has happened in the past? Any particular things that may predict or influence the rate increase? I just about have enough for a 3 zone roomette, hate to see the points increase before I can use them at current levels.

Is there a certain time of year when double days are offered or is it random?

I have had similar experiences. Pending points took up to 60 days to post. Hang in there.

Welcome Doc! Lots of threads on here regarding cross country adventures. Enjoy!

The way you want your room set up anytime of the day or night does not depend at all on the SCA wishes. You can have the bed down whenever you wish, you PAID for it. It is reasonable that the SCA wants to make the room up before the final destination.

probably not a dinner from the full menu, but something like "lite dinner" or "Amtrak stew"

I would say if the CZ is more than 2 hours late plan on a night in CHI at Amtrak's expense and traveling on next days train, problem is if you are ticketed for a Sleeper on the CL you won't be guaranteed a room on the next day, just transportation.

these trains are always close to or sold out, I find the 1/2 seating in business worth the extra $ if traveling alone. Not sure of the price difference, I'm sure it's bucket pricing but I still doubt you could buy a nice dinner in SEA od PDX for the price difference.

are you traveling coach or sleeper, this could make a big difference with a 12 year old. I would recommend a roomette or bed room if you can afford it.
