[QUOTE]Originally posted by Printman2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TBlack: [qb] It occurs to me that this is a HUGE business decision on Amtrak's part that I don't quite understand. In addition to having to have a maintenance facility in Boston to handle the sleeper, there will now have to be a switching operation in ALB to connect the 2 trains which is what we had 10 years ago and was eliminated to save $$$.[/qb][/QUOTE]It is not really a huge switching issue. They merely run out of Chicago with the Boston section up front and the NY section on the rear. At Albany the train splits in two and the P42 take the Boston section to Boston. They then put the dual-mode on the NY section and way it goes. I guess 49/449 is a little more involved (backing the Boston section to the front of the NY section), but nothing real complex.
