Locomotive

Baggage car
View Liner cars ? ? ?
Roomette Sleeper cars located where in the mix ?
Other useful trivia etc. appreciated & thanks !
 
The normal consist that I have seen in videos recently, barring any equipment going to or coming from Beech Grove, is Locomotive, Coach, Coach, Cafe, Sleeper, Baggage/Dorm.

As for any given day, there may be changes to the consist for demand (IF Amtrak MANAGEMENT had any sense at all).
 
On the cardinal 50 is there a cafe car for coach passengers?
Yes, there is normally a cafe car that is available for coach passengers. When I last traveled, the cafe/diner car was shared with sleeper passengers and, if I remember correctly, it was not available at certain times.
