Again, an awesome TR ! When are you going to do the Empire Builder? (If you haven't already?)
After our last trip, a total disaster on the Capitol Limited which departed 90 minutes late and eventually arrived almost 7 hours delayed, being on time was a blessing. In fact, we got on board 40 minutes before our scheduled departure of 10 PM.
I had that happen to me Chicago-LA on the Southwest Chief... which was.....
Lord, thank you for blessing me with a man who likes to travel by rail but has the resources so we don’t have to do it back here. As you can see it’s not terrible…for maybe 6-7 hours. But overnight? Never. Not in a million years.
In a seat like this for 48 hours. It wasnt the seat so much, but the people. the rudest and worst people. When I go on the Empire Builder I'm getting a roomette, like we did on the way back!
Now naturally I was going to go with an ice cream sundae, but I asked for a cheese plate as well and I was told “you’re only allowed to have one dessert”. Talk about a lame response. I’m in a premium cabin on your most premium domestic route and that’s your response? I’d take either “I’m sorry we don’t have enough” or better yet “let me make sure I serve everyone and if one is leftover I’ll bring it to you”. Whatever, I know who I’m flying and what year I’m flying in. At least the crew was decent otherwise, they were in the cabin pretty often and I got refills on my drinks so there’s that.
I would have said something , but hey thats my style
