Oy to you maybe, but not to me. I've done TRE to CHI (when the Three Rivers was in service) a number of times in Coach (never in a Sleeper Car) and a majority of the time there was nobody in the seat next to me for most of the trip (both ways). After the Three Rivers was discontinued, I started using the LSL from NYP to CHI (just completed a round trip NYP-CHI trip earlier this month); also on these trips(in Coach; never in a Sleeper Car), generally, I've had the seat next to me be empty most, if not all, of the trip (both ways).Now I always do a round trip on Amtrak to CHI from NYP (in the fall each year) unless I can't spare the 36 hr round trip time for some reason. I have more room in Coach on Amtrak than sitting on a plane plus I don't have to worry about spending extra time getting to an aiport and going through security. Amtrak to CHI is generally cheaper as well from NYP than a plane is from any of the NY area airports. Give me Amtrak anyday!! As Selkirk said about CSX between ALB and SYR, I'll agree there. CSX should get their act together so Amtrak trains can get through that territory without any big delays. Koi |
