Check the hours and the o-d pairs. Amtrak operates what used to be called "parlor cars" on some routes. These used to require first class fare but you only paid for a seat, not a berth or room. Believe that's what they now call "business class"

Business Class on the Silver Palm?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 21, 2002 4:35 PM
Today I was on Amtrak's website searching for fares for a trip on one of the Silver Service trains. This is when I noticed the oddest thing. Amtrak trains 90 and 91 were shown to offer Sleepers, Coach, and Bussiness Class. I checked several dates, during several months to make sure it was true. Then I went to check the fare and it was higher than coach, but less than sleeper. Is this true or is it just a gltich in the website?????????
