I think I was sitting beside you in the Metro Lounge yesterday, we are on the CZ ,just pasted through the Moffiet Tunnel about 4 hours late, just passedCZ train 6 must be on time! Have a good trip Trainfan

I do like the idea of the sleepers on the back as you have less foot traffic and the engine horn is much farther away. I just thought it would be easyer for Amtrak to keep the consist the same as the SWC , I did look up some old YouTube videos and up until a few years ago the sleepers were on...

I notice the sleepers on the cz are of the back of the consist, Last time I rode they were on the front the same as the SWC . I just wondered why they were moved? Trainfan

Train 5 and 6 have been fairly well up until the last couple weeks when they seem to be falling into the old habit of being 5 to 6 hours or more behind ! Dose anyone know why? I have been watching them for the last few months because of a planned March round trip Chi to Emy . Trainfan

I did notice there are only a few days left in march for the low bucket on the CZ for a sleeper, a month ago when I booked about 3/4 of the rooms were low bucket, also on the day I booked ,right after the price jumped from $635 TO $1378 ! So I know there is something going on . I think it...

I Noticed that Wolverine 350/355 was running with super liners along with a sightseer lounge, And p-42 27.and 28 both in front. Never seen a sightseer on that route before! Trainfan

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the original color of the fabric used in the superliners was? I was in a SL-1 in 06 and it had green but after that all I have been in are blue. I know you see remnants of different shades of brown on the walls . thanks Trainfan
