Just completed using AmSnag to check prices for sleepers during the 28 Oct - 26 Nov 2018 period (the farthest out that could be checked today) and noticed an expected increase of several buckets for the 16-22 Nov 2018 period (Thanksgiving is on the 22nd) - but only for about half of the LD trains!
• Trains with a marked increase of several buckets for the period were the SWC, CONO, CARD, LSL (both), CL and SL. Increases for the CS were for the periods 19-21 and 24-26 Nov 2018.
• Trains with no increase or no significant increase for the period were the TE, CZ, EB (both), SS, SM and CRES.
Maybe it's just that the increases haven't been loaded in for the last group of trains? Thanksgiving travelers don't use that last group of trains? Or maybe.......
