Iowa Pacific Cars on Front of #5(01)

[Agent]

Amtrak #5(01) has three Iowa Pacific private cars on the head end between the engines and baggage car. Apparently this is being done because the last sleeping car will be dropped off at Denver. I didn't catch the name of the first car, but the next two are the full dome Scenic View and Colorado Pine.

As always nice video! Could you tell if the PVs were occupied or were they dead heading out West??

Thank you, sir. No, the train was going to fast for me to get a good look inside the cars.

I was taking the Lake Shore Limited once and the Boston section #448 had some PV, they were occupied and in the front of the train, just beyond the Boston Baggage Car. I even had breakfast with one of their occupants.
