<P mce_keep="true">A bit of follow-up to my post regarding travel between Temple and Dallas on the Texas Eagle is in order. The $44 seat in a roomette is usually only available a day or two before train time. Otherwise, it is $87, except for the holiday travel season, when it can run as high as $137. </P> <P mce_keep="true">I will be going to Dallas in January for a concert. Today the one way senior rail fare is $16.15, whilst a seat in a roomette is $87. I bought a coach ticket. A couple of days before I am scheduled to travel, I'll check to see if a roomette is available for $44. If it is, I'll grab it. If Amtrak is still asking $87 for it, I'll ride in coach. The train will not be crowded in January. In fact, the only time the Eagle has a decent load south of Dallas is over the holidays. So there is a good chance that I will be able to get the roomette seat for $44. It is all in the timing. </P>
