[quote user="garyla"] <p>Another question about the Texas Eagle:</p><p>Does Amtrak still run a through sleeper on the Sunset Ltd. from L. A., and switch it to the Texas Eagle at San Antonio? Or do I have to get off and pass the time until the Texas Eagle departs for points north?</p><p>I know that there was a through sleeper in years past, but it's been a long time since I rode it.</p><p>Thanks in advance for any info.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>An Eagle sleeper and coach(s) are transferred from Number 21 to Number 1 and to Number 22 from Number 2 in San Antonio. It is not necessary to change cars. </p><p>The layovers in San Antonio are pretty long if the trains arrive on schedule. Number 21 is carded into San Antonio at 10:25 p.m. The Sunset is scheduled to leave San Antonio at 5:40 a.m. Number 2 is due in San Antonio at 10:25. Number 22 does not leave San Antonio until 7:00 a.m. Technically speaking, the Eagle cars west of San Antonio are Train Numbers 421 and 422. </p><p>Since the first of the year Number 21 has been late into San Antonio by an average of 127 minutes. Number 2 has been late by an average of 84 minutes. </p>
