    Viewliner Consist

    Thanks for the replies. We've traveled on the Silver Service lines to and from Florida before with the sleepers in the front behind the baggage car and in the rear (without the baggage car on the end). We were the first sleeper in the consist, so I didn't notice the 'tail wagging' but did...

    Viewliner Consist

    I noticed that on the 2/24/12 southbound Silver Star consist, the Viewliners were on the rear of the train followed by the baggage car. Are they going back to having the sleepers in the rear again?

    Isle Width

    That is funny, guess I was thinking too much of our January cruise & visiting the 'isles'. We are taking Northeast Regional from TRE to NYP, then off to the port & warm waters!

    Viewliner II (sleepers)

    Is there any word on when we can expect the new Viewliner sleepers to be put into service? What is the name of the company building them?

    Isle Width

    Hello, can anyone tell me the isle width of a NEC coach isle width. I am asking so to see if our tag along luggage would fit rolling down the isle. Thank you.

    Cardinal Menu

    What kind of meals would we expect traveling first class on the Cardinal? The dinner menu on the Amtrak website looks the same as the Silver Service lines but I thought the Cardinal did not have a 'full service' diner?

    ACES Train Fire

    Latest update the train is a NJ Transit regional rail. One person injured and sent to the hospital. This is still on the NE corridor so it is disrupting all service.

    What's up with Salt Lake

    Well, ask yourself if you would be more inconvenienced losing some sleep to get to the train station on time or missing the train completely to get that sleep?

    Bad News for a Heritage Dining Car

    We are scheduled to take 91 & 92 next week. Does Amtrak have enough diners in its fleet to replace #8551?

    Silver Service/Viewliner Consist

    1) Are the current Silver Service lines running the Viewliners in the rear of the train following the diner? 2) If so, are they planning on keeping it that way? 3) Do you think there are any disadvantages running a Viewliner at the rear of the train? Thank you, Happy New Year!

    Silver Meteor questions

    When my family and I travel from PA to FL on the Silver Service lines, we always purchase a viewliner roomette. By doing that all your meals would be included and you will get a comfortable bed to sleep in. I've also noticed the last 2 times we took the 'Silvers' that the sleepers were sold...

    Cardinal & Roomette

    I am looking to take the Cardinal leaving TRE on a Friday a.m. to IND. I am spending only 1 day in Indy so I can catch the EB Cardinal Saturday p.m. back to TRE. I was thinking of going coach WB. I figure the travel time will be 22+ hrs with #51's OTP. That will not disrupt my schedule, I...

    Amfleet car?

    My Wife and I rode on Regional 163 on Memorial Day. We rode in coach # 21084 which was the Quiet Car. My question is, it looked like an older car. The seats were an orange/brown/tan color. The overhead reading lights did not work properly. Once you turned them on, they did not turn back off...
