I don't remember if an exact date was given but the baggage and crew transition car are to be returned by early March.
I asked this question of the ticket agent in Oceanside, CA on 1/23; and he said sleepers on the rear. I forgot to ask about the SSL and he didn't volunteer.Any report on the SW Chief consist? Same as the Zephyr?
Is that Agency City crossing in the video Hazel St., with you set up next to the tracks behind the baseball field?#6(09) came by today with a trans dorm. Looks like thing are back to normal, and about half a month sooner than it was supposed to.
You're welcome. I live close enough.Thanks, Agent, My next CZ trip is late May. I really look forward to checking out your almost daily YouTube postings. Do you live close to where you take these videos? I am planning a road trip from Nashville to Champaign and Galesburg, IL last week of April just to rail fan.
Yes.Is that Agency City crossing in the video Hazel St.,

I figured you would know exactly where I was referring to.I'm making plans to shoot some video of the CZ after we switch to DST from the overpass north of Chillicothe (Chillicothe Rd.)
This one?
Well, it is new. I suppose it could be deadheading. I also see that this train is running about three and a half hours late right now. Wonder if that that's related to this.Is this something new or are they deadheading an extra Lounge?
Let me see if I have this right.
I wonder?
Do they always couple the XX31 sleeper to the Diner with Roomettes 9 & 10 leading, or do the Bedrooms sometimes lead the car.
I have seen and ridden in the xx31 sleeper both ways -- with roommettes leading or bedrooms leading. In other words, it's a crap shot of what you will get.
I'm just trying to keep score.Trains are back to normal beginning #5 2/25 out of CHI and #6 2/28 out of OAK, with crew cars and two coaches until April, when the CZ will get a third coach.
Consist:
2 motors
Bag car
Dorm
2 coaches
Lounge
Diner
2 sleepers
