Shortline
Conductor
I managed to work in a paid business trip next week on Amtrak (at least one way....had to buy my own return airline ticket due to the cost and time of a round trip) and I'm really looking forward to it. Am going OKC-FTW, then FTW-CHI, and CHI-KAL. I have two questions, which are:
1. car 2220, is it still on the rear? I heard they switched them to the head end somewhere, but the consist list thread still shows it on the tail end....anyone have a good idea where I will be?
2. Cross Country Cafe-Is the layout of the tables the only difference? Same food/service?
3. The Blue Water-Is that one of the trains that's running up to 110 MPH? (I assume so, it gets into KAL about 30 minutes earlier than the old system timetable shows)
Thanks, really looking forward to the trip, haven't been on the train (in the back anyway!) since last January....this short overnighter will be a good primer for our December 4 train 4 day trip to Miami.
