When I road the CZ from Sacramento to Lincoln the 2nd week of May (in coach), at SAC one had their pick of seats, and other than families that wanted to share double seats, everyone got a double seat to themselves - which made sleeping that night a lot easier. Even after we picked up passengers at SLC and DEN, coach was maybe 50% full, ie, some no longer had a choice of left side or right if they wanted a double to themselves, they could still have a double.
My question is; the 3rd week of August but on the reverse trip (CZ from Omaha or Lincoln back to Sac, and onto Redding) - what type of load should I expect? I was thinking about getting on at Omaha instead of Lincoln, just to maybe get a better choice of seats. I've searched the Amtrak site, I've googled for such, but can't find any statistics w/re the CZ and loads. Anyone have any input on this? Any links to load data?
as always: many thanks - greg
