No connection WB Empire Builder to SB Coast Starlight?

I'm trying to build this trip for the summer as a points redemption and it won't let me book the trip. Is something going on?

I have a reservation in June arriving Portland on EB #27 at 10:10 am connecting to CS #11 at 2:50 pm. I wonder why you are unable to do the same.

Interesting - this is what it says:

It works from Essex (ESM) so I wonder if GPK is sold out.

Check the dates for East Glacier station. It's not open year round, or just call Amtrak 800# to find out for certain. East Glacier and Browning stations have seasonal times.

That's odd, indeed. It works for every other station in the area but East Glacier. The OP's date is July 12th so East Glacier is definitely open then. Don't know why that connection won't work when every other one around it does. And it doesn't seem to work from East Glacier with any other date.

Maybe, because it's a seasonal station, it wasn't put into Arrow as it should have been.

No. Amtrak.com always shows a sold out train, never causing one to disappear. I'm sure the data entry person forgot to include the connection, because you can get from GPK to PDX.
