Thanked 2 Times in 1 Post
Default Time is always an unknown

Last year train going north was 5 hours late and coming south was 9 hours late. With a roomette the food is free and tolerable. WiFi was almost nonexistent in the older train. Auto train uses more modern equipment so WiFi is better.

Specifically:
Do they still supply pillows and blankets?
Do they still have a breakfast?
What is the procedure for getting seats, are they assigned when you arrive at the station?
Any other items we should know about?
Thank you, VT
