We are not allowed in business class on regionals, period or acela first class anymore. Full price for the auto train too.Just for clarification ... Are you saying you have to pay the coach ticket on Auto Train as well (in addition to car fare)?

Anybody working on or around trains running into and out of the world's second busiest train station (NYP) has their hands full and then some.I fully understand that this statement is not to the detriment of airline and commuter train employees, but those folks work very hard, too. The time has come when freebie travel options for employees or families are just not making sense anymore, and it's not just one carrier hoodwinking their employees, it's across the board.

It would also be nice if Amtrak deployed more than just the 11 Viewliner Diners - aka Sleeper Lounges (14 Production + 1 Prototype could be deployed!). Beautiful cars with no assignments!
