Hi everyone, I'm a journalism graduate student at CUNY in midtown Manhattan. I'm putting together an audio piece about the Viewliner IIs, with more of a focus on the diners. I was hoping to find some people who would be willing to give a quick phone interview, whether it be expert analysis or some very colorful opinions and experiences.

I took the Silver Meteor to and from Florida last February, so I had the pleasure of trying out a new diner. Will have to go back to my notes to see which one it was. Taken Amtrak long distance before but never dined, so I never experienced the Heritage units. I also did an audio piece about last fall's Autumn Express. So much fun and was amazing interviewing old rail buffs and train lovers, so when I was en route to Florida, I figured why not do another one, especially because I've kept my eye on these developments. A couple years ago, I thought maybe I would be fortunate enough to get a new diner in time for a long distance trip...

So that's the basic idea. Also wanted to say how helpful these forums are for understanding some of the things that are going on, both as a journalist and avid mass transit user. Always much appreciated. Anyway, hope I get the chance to speak with some of you. Oh, and I also took a bunch of 360 degree spherical photos inside the dining car and can share those, if anyone wants to see them. Thanks everyone!
