[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by donclark You keep harping about the price of your trip from LA to Waterloo, Indiana. Amtrak coach prices are comparable to airline coach tickets. However, you wanted and took a sleeper. This is first class service, and when comparing prices of airlines versus the train you should compare first class prices. For example an LA to Ft. Wayne first class ticket runs $1528.....next week without a Saturday night layover. First class airline tickets cost as much as Amtrak's sleeper accomodations...... Notice a first class airline ticket isn't the $360 coach price...... [/quote] Bahhhhh! Your word play impresses me not, the only reason why the "sleeper" even becomes necessary at such outrageous cost, is because the modus of travel cannot connect the dots in one days time. SoI'm expected to pay through the nose to cover for the weakness of the means of travel? How is that a reasonable expectation? And if rotting in some postage stamp sized compartment for 3 days while the bowels of the rust belt "clickity - clack" by my window is "first class", I'd sure hate to see what evil lurks in "tourist". Being a railfan to some extent requires one to "live in the past", I've concluded same while reading all the forlorn laments of how "Diesel done steam wrong" Ya right we should ALL goback to steam choo-choo's to make the nostalgia buffs lifes seem worth living, and put the business world on notice that henceforth coast to coast travel shall become a 4 day proposition, simply to permit a segment of the population to live interminable yesterdays ,...case closed. sorry, no sale Oh, and "waterloo" was not my destination, but you already knew this. Obviously Amtrak didn't care
