Thanksgiving 2013

[blue streak 1]

Amtrak has not posted their complete plans for the holiday but so far -------------

as others post other markets will post on this thread starter   Have broken out Acelas yet.  

NYP  --  WAS

1.  On Wednesday 5 extra regional round trips NYP -- WAS.

2. Extra Acelas unknown   

3. Sunday already 3 extra regional RTs and 4 Commuter equipment RTs.

.

BOS  --  NYP

Wed 5 extra RTs

Sun  5 extra  RTs 

couple trips sold out

 

 SEA  --  PDX

as of oct 23 ~~  3 round trips out of 5 sold out   SEA   --  PDX  Wed  &  Sun

no extra trips yet

As of Nov 1st Amtrak & Washington Dot has added one RT on WED & 1 SUN only.  They appear to be much more conservative this year.  Maybe more later if the trips get very full ? 

Note:  Enroute times appear to not be Talgos.  Wonder where Oregon's Talgos are ?

They've sometimes ran an extra Cascades round trip. Any word on this? They usually have P32BWHs, and Amfleet or Horizon cars, goodies that we don't often see up here...

update # 2 of original post

[blue streak 1]

As usual the business class is selling out first/

Essentially 4 RTs NYP - ALB   business class sold out sunday

If Amtrak can ever get enough equipment maybe they will start adding another business class car to high demand trips ? ?

Now a Dec 1st RT added to  CHI - Bloomington.

Does anyone know if Amtrak is adding specific extra trips to routes as theregular trips sell out?  If any one is traveling on any of the routes has Amtrak sent you a notice of the additional trip(s) ?
