Just rode that train a couple weeks ago. My least favorite out of the three I was on my trip. Not much effort was put into accommodations. I really enjoyed the buttercakes. They were very good. Bed was uncomfortable. No good place to place your drink. I like the Viewliner 2 roomette better.

You used to be able to enjoy a nice meal in the Dining Car on the Limited but not any more.

Yeah it was nice... not cost effective and for a trip of that length it's not really essential. It'd be nice if they brought back the sightseer lounge. I almost think they'd be better off running it as a single level train with viewliners like the Cardinal but with a separate dining car/sleeper lounge and a Cafe. It was pretty pathetic when they were running this train with just 3 cars earlier this year. It needs a minimum of 2 coaches and 2 sleeping cars.

Chicago Union Station Metropolitan Lounge has TERRIFIC shower facilities and snack foods along with drinks. Some years ago if you were traveling coach, then you could pay the conductor $20 for a pass that would allow you Lounge privileges.

Day Passes cost $35 these days for Metropolitan Lounge access (but still included with Sleeper tickets)
