Planning a transcontinental trip on Amtrak for next spring

This is something that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and it looks like I might finally have an opportunity to do this next spring. So right now, I’m thinking:
- Coast Starlight from San Jose to Portland or Seattle
- one day layover in Portland or Seattle (since I don’t want to use the bus if it can be avoided)
- Empire Builder to Chicago
- Lakeshore Limited to Boston
- Acela to Washington
- Cardinal to Chicago
- Southwest Chief to Los Angeles
- Coast Starlight back to San Jose

Any suggestions or improvements would be appreciated (leave a comment). I’d like to try and avoid duplicate routings if possible.
