So bummed out

I've seen the posts from others when this happened to them, but thought I'd get lucky and have it not happen to me.

Booked tickets to get from Vermont to Albuquerque back in March starting today. Made it to Schenectady, killing time waiting for the 7:30 Lake Shore Limited when Amtrak calls to say that due to equipment issues, they've downgraded me to coach.

My health isn't great, no way I can do overnight in a coach seat. So now I'm waiting on a call back from them as they try to rebook me not just for the LSL, but also bump my Southwest Chief reservation by a day.

If they can't do that.... IDK, I'll have to start looking at flights, I guess. I dont even want to think about prices for last minute flights...
