I agree.The eastbound Capitol is also no slouch when it comes to scenery.
Even if the sightseer cars are unstaffed,they are an essential part of a Superliner. Up until the pandemic The Capitol Limited and Texas Eagle had them. If you are in Coach you are confined to your seat. On the Eagle you are talking about a 32 hour ride. Again,why is there no SSL on the TE?The eastbound Capitol is also no slouch when it comes to scenery. You get the Youghiogheny River gorge, crossing the Alleghenies over the Sand patch grade, passage through the Narrows at Cumberland, Ridge and Valley scenery along the Potomac to Harpers Ferry, and even the Maryland Piedmont is pretty until you hit the DC metro area. And, hopefully, they'll return the Sightseer Lounge to service at some point in the near future.
Cardinal through the New River Gorge

Card, particularly eastbound. Both trains are a bit short on the amenity side now.

Well the Chief got it's transdorm back.It was hinted that right now transition sleepers are being prioritized for return to service.
Are you traveling after daylight savings take effect. We missed a lot in December.Re the Cardinal eastbound. Is there an approximate time for travelling through the gorge(s) assumimg we are on time?
Thanks

You'll still be on Standard Time. Daylight Savings starts March 12 or 13th.February 27 leaving Indianapolis at 12:15am. Not sure when US daylight saving starts/ends
So you should be pulling into Charlottesville 3:30pm or so Sunday afternoon Feb 27. I'll make an effort to walk down and greet you depending on weather. It's a smoke stop and they're generally here a good 15 minutes.February 27 leaving Indianapolis at 12:15am. Not sure when US daylight saving starts/ends
I didn’t notice your direction. I was westbound. What do you have planned in Indy?February 27 leaving Indianapolis at 12:15am. Not sure when US daylight saving starts/ends
