At least 2 of the Texas Eagle train sets are running with 2 CCCs and no Sightseer, and by luck of the draw (bad) I drew both on a FTW-CHI trip I just completed. In both cases the crews said the Sightseer had been bad ordered and I imagine enough of these dreams turned nightmare are lying around Amtrak needs to do something with them. Actually it wasn't the worse, as one was used a a pure Lounge and the other as a pure Diner and everything seemed to work, although on both legs I overheard passengers grousing about no "big windows." But as busy as the Diner was and as busy as the Lounge usually was, there is absolutely no way one car would work as with the CONO. Let us hope this is short lived.
