[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by azrailer: [qb] I was told this morning by Amtrak that the Parlor cars were put back in service when the bedrooms were added back to the CS to KF. Does any one know this to be true? We are scheduled to Tacoma the 10th and don't mind the bus bridge if that happens but sure want the Parlor car to Klamath Falls [/qb][/QUOTE]As usual, the person at Amtrak who told you this has no clue what they're talking about! Amtrak, Amtrak, Amtrak.....I almost don't know what to say any more. Regarding the Parlour Cars, NO, they are not back on the Coast Starlight yet. When the full train was put together again (sleepers and diner) from LAX to KFS, the Parlours were not put back on. Why??? Simple---they have not been anywhere near Los Angeles! they've been in Beech Grove, Indiana. Right now there is ONE Parlour Car in Los Angeles (39973). This car is not in service yet. The second refurbished Parlour Car has just been released from Beech Grove, and will be heading to Los Angeles shortly. A third will be released in a few days. That's three down, two to go.....I'm getting excited as the re-launch gets closer and closer. And here is the latest from the rumor-mill department: The Coast Starlight MAY be running the full route from LAX to SEA as soon as May 2nd. No---this is NOT the relaunch yet. I'm just talking about the restoration of the entire route, with no bus bridge in place (You hear this, Vicki?) :) The Parlours won't be on the choo-choo in regular service until the relaunch. At least, that's my understanding. I don't know when the relaunch will happen. According to two Coast Starlight customer service managers that I spoke to yesterday in Los Angeles, they don't have ANYTHING firmed up for the relaunch yet. Maybe in a few weeks, maybe June, maybe July....that's what I was told. [/QB][/QUOTE]
