Just a quick note to thank AlanB and Railroadtycoon for their info. We arrived Tampa this afternoon, about 2 1/2 hours behind schedule. We were one hour delayed in NYP due to a mechanical problem. The trip was very good. I had forgotten that the roomette's were small, but we managed fine. I was impressed with the courtesy and helpfulness of the train staff both in the sleeper car and in the dining car. Most of the compartments were occupied. The ride was smooth, except from Jacksonville, FL to Orlando. We will return on the Silver Star in two weeks.
