[quote user="daxomni"]Amtrak's website even claims that the $154 price is the "shortest trip" despite the fact that you're arriving on the very same train.  It's just needlessly confusing for people who aren't familiar with the system.  It's reasonable for Amtrak to engage in some form of automated yield management, but there is no reason for needless end-user confusion like this.  Give the train a single name, let the customer pick the lowest price or whatever fare bucket nets a frequent rider the best reward ratio and be done with it.  As for me, I'll happily pay the Sunset Limited price (including sleeper upgrade) but I would think twice about the Texas Eagle rate if that becomes the new standard rate, if and when the service schedule is modified.  At that point it's no longer competitive with nonstop airfare that takes far less time to make the same trip multiple times each and every single day. <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/user305/Amtrak-Reservations-SelectTrain_-1.png" alt="" border="0"> [/quote] Your are right!  Showing #21 and #421 as if they are separate trains is confusing.  Moreover, I cannot think of any accounting reason for doing so.All up Amtrak has a friendly web page.  It is as good as any airline web page that I have used.
