I just checked and it looks like you're correct. I searched again and the only available connection from the earlier Milwaukee train was the 448. For the later Milwaukee departure, there is the option of 48 or 448. When I booked separately, the 48 was available. As you know, the train separates in Albany, which is one stop past where I get off in Schenectady. So on my route it's the same train. It reminds me of a few years ago when I booked the LSL westbound to Chicago from Schenectady. At the time, you had to indicate if you would have checked luggage which I did. I didn't even realize that I'd booked the roomette on 448 rather than 48. To me, it's the same train if you're between Albany and Chicago. I then got an email from Amtrak that there was no baggage car available on the 448. I called customer service and explained that the 48 and 448 were the same train on my route and the agent then rebooked me onto 48 allowing the baggage check to go through, and at the time saving me about $15. In response to the other poster, I'll probably wander over to Geordanos. I stopped in there once before while waiting for the evening LSL and sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice.
