That would be SCD crews, there is no MSP crew base. That being said, I agree 100%!
As recent as five years or so ago, the CHI crews were great on the Empire Builder as well. They're now just too new to determine if they're good or not.
Well, I hope it doesn’t have a leaky air conditioning compressor that leaks all of the Freon and renders the AC useless like we had on Tuesday. The temperature in Fort Worth was 80 degrees when the AC finally bit the dust. It got so bad in the sleeper that our attendant gabe us permission to...
I do agree with most of what you said. As I stated before, I was surprised that it tasted good as I’ve had my share of flex meals and they ranged from awful to barely edible. I’ve had my meals in my room and the dining attendant just brought my lunch as I’m typing this. He’s one of the better...

Last month, when I rode back east on the Zephyr from EMY-CHI, there was something doing a tour over the PA most of the way. I was told by my sleeper attendant that he was an assistant coach attendant (didn’t know there was such a person but I don’t ride coach on LD trains) who’s worked the...
