I'm planning my LD train trip for next year and the plan is to combine both the CS and Empire Builder. So the plan is to take:
CS : LAUS -> SEA
Cascade: SEA-> PDX
EB: PDX->CHI
Now the idea is that we spend couple days in SEA, PDX and CHI before flying back to LAX. Generally, how are conditions on the EB in March in regards to weather related issues? We go with the expectation that "8 hour late is ON TIME for Amtrak" so not too worried about delays but more concerned about bustitutions and cancellations.
