Good luck on the Cardinal. I doubt they will wake you at every station on that train as they did on the Regional, but do plan on having a seatmate. especially since you are getting on at Washington rather than New York. There is usually a bit of turnover on that train's journey since very few do the entire trip.Barely got any sleep on the 67, New York crew decided to wake everyone up for a ticket check and to warn us multiple times at each station that the train was packed. As if having little sleep was bad enough the weather was pitch black, gloomy, and was pouring in NewJersey making for a bad night
I should have listened to my gutt and Kevin's lead and bought some sleep aid medicine
If I am not at CUS greeting the group after some railfanning it's due to the need for sleep overriding the need to ride trains and say hello
They do re-checks of ticket stubs on all Regionals through New York, as the new crew takes over. Each crew has their own system of giving out the seat checks, so the new crew coming on duty at NYP has to see where you are going to know how to mark or punch the seat check to their liking. Sometimes the crew going off even collects them all so the new crew can start from scratch.
See you in Chicago. By the timetable you should be there first.

Technicalities suck and legal name changes are a mess after it happens.
