Arrived in St. Paul on the evening of July 31 from Harpers Ferry, WV via the CL and EB. Each train was sold out in both the coach and sleeping sections. On the July 31 EB , there was an overflow crowd beginning in WDL when 30 passengers boarded. They were seated in the lounge along with subsequent passengers boarding at later stops. An announcement was made at the MSP station stating that the train was sold out heading west.
My wife and I enjoyed our trip. Both legs of the trip were spent in roomette sleeping accomodations. Our car attendant on the CL was a slacker to say the least. Totally opposite of our EB car attendant. On the EB, our attendant relocated us to another room in another car when we asked to move due to an obnoxious loud mouth passenger in the room across from us. The meals were well above board and the service exceptional.
We will be heading back to HFY on August 17 and will file a report upon our return.
