Question

no return stop at riverside

Answer 1

According to Amtrak's website, you would have to travel on the southwest chief (#3) to Riverside, board the exact same train whenever you left Riverside (train departs riverside at 5:53 a.m.) ride into LA, board either the thruway motorcoach to bakersfield and ride train #715 the San Jauquins (not sure about spelling) into Oakland, or the best option if you prefer to ride the train the whole time, is after arriving in LAX at 8:15 on train 3, wait 2 hours and board train #14 the Coast Starlight to Oakland arriving in Oakland -- Jack London at around 10:00 that night. You would have to do the bus thing if you chose to book from OKJ to ABQ or you could book two sets of tickets from OKJ to LAX on train 11 Coast Starlight and then train 4 to ABQ Coming back though would be interesting though because you would have to spend the night in LA because train 11 arrives at 9:00 p.m., and train 4 departs at 6:45 p.m.

Booking without the BUS trip coming back would cost like this

ABQ to RIV (train 3)  

RIV to LAX (train 3)

LAX to OKJ (train 14)

OKJ to LAX (train 11)

LAX to ABQ (train 4)

----------------------------

$ 590.00 R/T 2 people + tax + hotel fare coming back

I hope this helps, I think you might save money riding the bus, but this is a train trip not a bus trip so that is why I picked the multiple city trip.

EDIT 11:04 p.m. 11/9/06

I went back and checked on the prices on the bus fares from Riverside to Bakersfield and train to Oakland, and return, total price would be 494.00 + taxes and all that stuff.
