Looks like the speed increase took effect!

No speed increase as of yet. Guess I'll just keep an eye on the tracker to see if Amtrak ever gets around to implementing the change.

I saw another photo of that car a while back, where someone photographed the interior through the window from outside. It is an actual Viewliner II that was stripped inside to test this new (and hopefully now abandoned) cafe/lounge conversion layout.

It's not the 8400, but one of the new ones. Other than that, I don't know.

Unfortunately that is a Viewliner II dining car that was ripped apart to test this new cafe car conversion nonsense. Very unfortunate after all of the effort and money that went into designing and building the new dining car fleet to see money wasted on destroying brand new equipment.
