Matt, Next time, try upgrading to a train car by calling the main number first before checking in. That's what we did last time we got the Chattanooga Choo Choo, and were able to upgrade to a train car at a rate of $40/night. Of course, that puts the price up there with the Chattanoogan, which I booked on Priceline last month for $92/night. But don't hang your head thinking you missed the train car -- you likely weren't able to upgrate because they typically sell out of train car rooms between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve about three months in advance.
