I plan on taking another Amtrak trip this spring. The overnight portion of the trip will be on the Capitol Limited in a roomette. I prefer roomettes on the lower floor for overnight trips. I've done both lower and upper floor trips and sleep better on the first floor. I'm flexible with my dates and am willing to book ahead.
I had to call Amtrak last time because the website wouldn't book the multi-connection trip online. I can book it in 2 parts online, but not as one single trip. I'd prefer to pick my own room online. The last time I called I requested a lower floor room and got an upper floor room instead. Is there any reason I shouldn't book my trip as 2 separate trips online? Does Amtrak keep track of who has connecting trains in case of delays if I book everything as a single trip? Also, I think rooms 11-15 are first floor rooms on the Capitol Limited. Is that correct?
