The Empire Builder is scheduled to do its splitting/joining in Spokane during the middle of the night (of course when it actually arrives in SPK is a different story... :lol: ). However, the time it does the switching is after midnight, when almost everyone is asleep. Is the switching loud or bothersome enough to wake up passengers?
The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm thinking about the schedules for a twice-daily LSL. One frequency would mostly follow the current schedules (serving upstate NY during the day and splitting/combining at Albany during mid-day), while the other would serve the mid-west during the day and upstate NY during the night. So under this, the Albany switching would take place at 2 am or so.
I'm just worried that having the switching at that time would wake up the passengers who are trying to sleep.
