The average cost per mile for the Lake Shore Limited during FY13 was approximately $.85 to $.96, depending on how the Boston section is factored into the equation, whereas the average cost for the Capitol Limited was $.89.  Both numbers are before depreciation, interest, and miscellaneous charges. The Lake Shore Limited lost 18.4 cent per passenger mile, whereas the Capitol Limited lost 22.1 cents per passenger mile.   Parenthetically, the price of sleeping car accommodations usually increases as it gets closer to train time but not always.  On several occasions I have seen the price of a roomette on the Texas Eagle from Taylor to Dallas drop from $80.06 to $40.00 a day or two before day of travel. If one can be flexible with travel dates, she frequently can get a better deal. I am returning from Los Angeles on the Texas Eagle later this month. The cost of the train ride departing on a Wednesday night was $458. Had I departed on either of the other two days the Eagle operates from Los Angeles, my fare would have been $632.
