Wifi on Coast Starlight

With guarded optimism I'm happy to report the following anecdotal evidence:

"Testing" Wi-Fi on the Starlight
Rode the Starlight this weekend. They were "testing" a new Wi-Fi system on the train, and were asking passengers if they had laptops to try it out. I only overheard one passenger report, and she said it was "spotty".
• amtrak.com: Routes – California – Coast Starlight
This legendary train now features enhanced Coaches and Sleeping Cars, along with exclusive new amenities. *snip*

Sleeping Car passengers can experience a full range of exclusive services and amenities on the Coast Starlight, including complimentary onboard internet access via Amtrak Connect and an exciting alternative meal service, both available in the Parlour Car.
