Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. ____16____ But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.

The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D. That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E. You might have to wait longer than 24
