I may have the opportunity to get out of state (finally!) for a brief weekend.
If the stars align, I may be able to ride Amtrak from PDX to SEA on the evening of 8/14. I'd be taking the 6:15pm departure.
What time does it start to get dark in WA in mid-August? (Any train ride is a good train ride, of course, but should I be prepared to miss most of the good scenery?)
And is the $14 upgrade to Business Class worth it? (I assume the Talgos will be back in operation by then...they were supposed to be already!) If the Talgos aren't used, what do I get on the Superliners for my business-class ticket? If it's just a warm soda, then I might want to rethink the upgrade...
