So, with the three times a week service, where are all the extra passenger cars (coaches, sleepers, diners, lounges, etc.) being stored? We are about 5 hours from Chicago now after our move, so I don't know if they are keeping them in the 16th Street Yards down there. But I can't imagine they would have the room for all the extra train cars. Or are they keeping down at Beech Grove? But I also haven't heard of massive moves or massive car storage down there either.

Los Angeles has lots of coach yard space, as does Chicago. New Orleans can store a train or three.

Get 'em outta Chicago; why waste all that anti-freeze.
