I don't have a anser for cost of trip but there <br />toll free number or there web sight might help ya. <br /> I been following the news of the latest cut backs of amtrak.And there a great possibility of <br />us losing the the long hail trains. I say let them. It's going to happen. And Feb was the month <br />the goverment was to come up with some salutions. <br />I read some there ideas and I agre that freights <br />need a another crack at it. When they dumped the passeger service many years ago they there wasn't <br />any halling of rail roaders and ups freight at the end of the train. Now look at them now. You see more freight cars than passenger cars on a train. <br />Let the freight railroads do that!! I read that <br />artical under railage .com. I think It would be neat have BNSF hauling passenger in there colors <br />and tagging along few box cars and half dozen rail roaders.As long as they pull freight to they might have a chance. And another thing frieght railriad <br />need to try just @ twice a week on there long runs <br />is hauling cars. Like from Pittburgh to La. or Chicago to Wash state People don't like driving long distances but sure like to have there car when they get there. Thats what will get more people attracted to take long distance trains too and like it similar to the Florida route and illimanate the in between stops <br />
