Something similar happened to me some 5 years ago or so.  My wife and I took Amtrak first class coast to coast to go on a Caribbean cruise.  I don’t fly, so that is why we took the train.  We were 15 minutes late into Chicago, but our connecting train left anyway.  We had to get to Florida by next afternoon or loose every penny invested.....which including train fare was big $$.At Chicago they couldn’t or wouldn’t find us a way to get to DC to make our next connection, even though we were in one of the largest train hubs in the country.  It took me literally screaming at them for an hour to get us on a Greyhound to DC.  And then we had to walk through downtown Chicago with all of our luggage to get to the forlorn bus station.  So much for first class.Anyway we did finally get there in time, and Greyhound was the most efficient leg of the trip.  Quite revealing that was.
