[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] The return on 32501 to service after its loss at Crescent City means that Amtrak will have six such 11BR Sleepers. With four needed to protect the Auto Train line space, this means two spares. One could be withdrawn for "heavy' and both lines still protected. Since Crescent City, if a 325XX had to be shopped for "heavy", a substitute 10-5 32XXX had to replace such, making the consist potentially five Bedrooms short. There are only five 3310X Lounges; if one of these need be withdrawn for "heavys', then it appears a #330XX Sightseer will be in consist - a very dubious equipment assignment. After all, my "if you've seen one Pine Tree...." has yet to be refuted. Incidentially, 11BR 32503, A Phillip Randolph, also lost at Crescent City, has been returned to service. Now what astounds me is that Amtrak plans to return several 38XXX Diners to service using ARRA '09 funds and, if I read this correctly, will assigning the 37XXX Cross Country Cafe's to the Empire Builder. Does this mean Amtrak plans to offer full dining service PDX-SPK? Enquiring mind wants to know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
