I was wondering if Amtrak would ever consider giving passenger discounts when booking back to back long distance trains? For example, what if you take the Coast Starlight, north, to Portland. Then make the connection, about 1.5 hrs later, with the Empire Builder for a trip to Chicago. Needless to say, booking a sleeper, on both trains, will cost one more than a little chump change. Why can't Amtrak offer a discount on the overall fare when booking both trains at the same time? What about taking a medium distance train with a transfer to a long distance train, such as a Keystone to link with the Lake Shore Limited? Also, could Julie book both connections together or would it require separate bookings?
