Lead Service Attendant
Especially after I saw the north-bound Texas Eagle this past Friday (30 September) made up of single level cars with a superliner sleeper on the rear, I can’t get my mind around how the diner would disappear on the long-distance superliners. Would you modify the diner or the observation car? And, how do they get the suplerliner sleeper on the back of a string of single-level cars without a transition car? Are the sleeper passengers stranded in their sleeper car? But if you get rid of the diner crews, you may be able to free up the transition sleepers for more paying passengers. What's the point of replacing only the single-level diners? Wouldn't two kinds of meal service (single-level and superliner) only confuse things and make the process more expensive?
