Just returned from our trip to SLC and Yellowstone and according to our wonderful car attendant Linda, the 33 cars (3rd sleeper on the California Zephyr) will be removed after yesterdays runs. We had the 33 car on both CZs #5 and #6 and had great attendants on both (Gregory on #5 last week)
Nice shots out the back of the train since CZ sleepers were on the rear, but a seemingly rougher ride being the last car. Especially that ride through Nebraska at night was a real terror :giggle:
Those car attendants will be bidding on new jobs come Monday. Linda has 33 years of seniority and will have no problem in the bumping order but Gregory was on his second sleeper run after being a dining car person for several years. His future will be a bit more uncertain.
Trip report to follow soon.
