Of course that's for coach and bedroom upgrade would add substantially. Still, not too bad for thirty days of wondrous adventure. Or abject torture for some people here.
As long as there's a way to get from coast to coast in the system. The price increase isn't really that bad. I would think with a pass you might not want to spend that many nights on the train anyway. You'd want to ride and get off in a number of places. Just upgrade to a room a few times as necessary.
I know I can't ride the train anymore. I'm on dialysis, and have to be places every M-W-F, without fail. This version of Amtrak is out of the question for that. I'm a driver anyway. I need my freedom like a previous poster said further up the page.
