My initial trip on the East Bound Texas Eagle - in Feb 2016 - stated off like horror novel.
"He stood, alone, in a parking lot at 3:00 am to meet a stranger who could possibly help. The train showed up. And because I booked a Roomette, my bed was all ready down for the evening. All I had to do was wash up, hit the sack, and later, wake up for breakfast.
Getting the roomette left me to my own devices, I could interact or not interact others on board.
I had been driving between Southeaster Arizona and Central Texas to know....that is a long drive. Sure it got me there. But I didn't have to worry about gas, soda, clean windshield, or empty bladder. I would like back and Read a book, watch a movie, or play a game on my tablet.
It. Was. Perfect. To travel this way.

To get the fifth star, you would to lower the rates, and maybe add more trains serving smaller area (doodlebug concept).
