We're looking at going from San Antonio to Tucson. The train arrives in San Antonio at 9.55pm then leaves at 2.45 am. If we book a sleeper, can we get on the train before midnight to get some sleep, or do we have to wait?

In my experience sleeper car passengers departing San Antonio can board almost anytime (assuming arrivals have disembarked first). That being said, there's always a chance to get turned away if the train is running late with rushed staff or you encounter a disagreeable sleeper attendant. I've also boarded between shifts with nobody checking my ticket, in which case you'll want to make sure you tell someone you're on board before the train leaves.We're looking at going from San Antonio to Tucson.

The problem with this is (1) it's a bit too far for a casual drop-off, but if you bring your car you'll need to leave it in a lot that (2) doesn't look that safe and (3) requires you to put a "burgle me" sign up saying how long it will be until you return.If you book the 421 sleeper and make a short drive up the road to San Marcos, you can most definitely sleep through the long stop in San Antonio...

Thanks guys, appreciate the assistance. We'll probably be on the #1 Sleeper.
My old hometown! I used to catch the Mopac and Katy Passenger Trains as a kid @ the 2 Seperate Depots when San Marcos had only 4,000 people.I have boarded in San Marcos, having a friend drive me to the station from north SA. Yes, I offer to pay, even buy dinner, but he always refuses. I prefer to be settled in my room when the train arrives SAS. Usually, I don’t wake up during the car switching, which is good for me since I like to be up and dressed to watch the sunrise.
