    Lake Shore Limited...

    Hi all, I havnt seen the LSL lately, but can anyone please tell me the new consist? Do they add another viewliner on during the summer? Also, i heard that the diners are being rebuilt, will this mean that the LSL will soon have diners again? And whats up with the crappy horizon car. Thanks! Corey

    I believe that train runs with a cabbage so one would think so, but you'd be better off calling Amtrak and asking one of their representatives. Corey
