About $125, less than 48 hours, and no switching of trains . . . . or if there is they never mentioned it.

Yeah, my dog. The train stops fairly frequently. We will get off at stops for doing his thing. Just have to notify the conductor.

But there were a lot of interesting people on the train (I made it a point to go to the dining car, etc), and I got a sleeper car, so the ride was very comfortable. I was able to go back to my room when I got bored of talking, and catch up on some laptoppin', etc.
Bring a charger for your cell phone, as you can sometimes find an outlet, and I recommend you find out if you're uncomfortable riding backwards BEFORE you try it on a long trip.
Have fun, Lloyd! Looking forward to the pics.

I have driven along most of the way that the tracks go. Not a whole lot of dumps in the middle of nowhere. ;) All the seats have electrical outlets now (I guess). Did not bother with a sleeper but they gave Buddy his own seat, so he will be happy.
