Reply to "Amtrak trip,,, tips tricks and advice"

Joe, living 45 minutes from Williams, AZ, we've taken the SW Chief and Capitol Limited many times when going to York - always in the deluxe sleeper.  As others have noted, by far the best way to do Amtrak.

All this summer the Chief ran very late due to track improvements and resulting slow running in New Mexico, but that seems to be done now.  However, typically it will be an hour or two late coming westbound into Flagstaff and an hour late eastbound.  But with the slop in the schedules, it typically makes up that time and is on time into Chicago for your layover going home.

I don't know what your plans are in Phoenix, but if you can make sure you visit the train and model layouts in the Scottsdale Railroad Park.

And if you find your self in the Prescott area, let me know and I've be happy to have you come by for a layout visit.
