Sunday On the MNCR ACMU trip

I think that the sightseer lounge WAS built, as amtrak has in its capital plan to refurbish 54 Viewliners. 52 sleepers, 1 diner, whats the other? The sightseer lounge might be the missing viewliner.

In the mid 90s they had standard amfleet 1 seats with amfleet 2 interior colors.

On the viarail side: I was on the canadian last week, And I can say that there were definately NOT slumbercoaches on the train. But They DO have Slumbercoach like rooms staggered into upper and lower levels(Chateau cars only, Manors have 10/6 style roomettes), but they are much more spacious.

When will the card get its diner back?

Well, When I originally wrote that post, I was Travelling from LAX to SEA, and they were going to get off at Sanfrancisco. Now that they are going all the way to seattle, and are getting an upgrade to another sleeper, this shouldnt be an issue anymore, but it still would be interesting to find out.

In july, my parents will be coming with me on the coastr starlight, but while I am in sleeper, They will be in coach. Can they come into the parlour as my guests?

Thanks.. its weird, but the canadian part costs about the same as the rest of the trip.

and, I would think that the more damaged SLIIs would go before the more damaged SLI's . In new york, our NYCTA made a pretty dumb mistake. In 1994, there was a wreck involving a car, R40S 4259. it was hit by an R42N(4818or9 IIRC) both of the cars survived the wreck structurally sound, but with...
