Not quite. From Chicago to Spokane, it's all one train. In Spokane, part of the train goes to Seattle and partwow so the empire builder splits into 3 trainsthe main train chicago-seattle the 2nd train chicago- portland and the 3rd train chicago- spokane

Surprise....I heard not happening because of lack of funding.I heard rumors a few months ago that Amtrak was considering adding a CCC to the EB as a second (Portland) diner / first class pax lounge, possibly as soon as this summer. Is there any progress on that front?
Amtrak has been talking about doing this since the Stimulus monies were first announced; but it has yet to come to fruition. It was also sidelined for a while with the daily Texas Eagle plan to LA, as that would have taken up the extra equipment.Surprise....I heard not happening because of lack of funding.I heard rumors a few months ago that Amtrak was considering adding a CCC to the EB as a second (Portland) diner / first class pax lounge, possibly as soon as this summer.
