I am planning a trip to Spokane, WA in early November starting from Tucson,AZ. My concern is with the Sunset Limited out of Tucson being late to L.A. and causing me to miss the connection to the Coast Starlight.
Does anyone have experience with this particular route? I don't want to be overly paranoid, but I booked a roomette on the CS and would hate to be late. I have also been checking the status of the Sunset Limited and frankly it seems to run hours late more often than not.
Do most people just count on the Sunset being late and book an extra day? I'm not crazy about staying overnight in L.A., but flight times just don't seem to cooperate either, leaving little time to get from LAX to the station.
Also, can anyone give information on what actually happens when a train is late and someone misses a connection?
This is my first long distance trip and don't want a connection problem to throw a wrench in my whole trip.
Simply put, should I just cancel the Sunset portion or go with the flow?? I am hoping that maybe some of you have had past experiences that could help me feel better about my connections
Thanks!
