[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [qb] Since the second burned car is a coach, does that mean sleepers are now at the rear of the CZ? When I rode it last summer sleepers were up front. [/qb][/QUOTE]As of a few weeks ago, the sleepers were in the front. I had business in the Amtrak yard in Oakland when the Zephyr pulled in for it's overnight servicing, and the sleepers were up front. When the wye'd the train, the sleepers remained up front for the trip back east. The only reason I can think of for the sleepers being on the rear again is that maybe they are adding a sleeper (and thus, removing one as well) at Denver like they used to do. Maybe for the summer peak period, an extra sleeper gets added at Denver, and that would explain why they are on the rear again. There is some good updated information on this crash here: http://tinyurl.com/42o3exz If you read this morning's update at the top, as well as last night's update, you will see the name of the trucking company and that the driver was a man in his 40's. According to the article, there was a "convoy" of three trucks, and the 2 rear trucks came to a stop for the RR crossing but the lead truck did not slow down. He was going so fast that the cab became embedded in the Superliner. [/QB][/QUOTE]
