Being able to cobble one set together for a one-off irrops consist is a whole lot easier than finding cars for the multiple sets needed to operate a train like the Desert Wind or Pioneer on a daily or even tri-weekly basis.No, we don't have equipment to run a revived Desert Wind, Pioneer, or any other train on which Superliners belong....
I was wondering what happened to that Cardinal. I'm taking the 51 in a couple of weeks and have been keeping an eye on its performance and saw its big 8 hour delay between Thurmond and Montgomery.It sounds like Chicago bound 51 hit a tree, so we are loaded onto a superliner for the trip east. Haven't left CHI yet, but only 15 minutes late so far.
Big plus there! (I didn't get to have steak on my ride with a diner...I boarded in IND since getting to CHI was a non-starter proposition)No SSL. Diner though, so steak for dinner, but they forgot to pack veggies.
