Whatcha talkin' 'bout?Additionally if the new Pullman car service comes on as scheduled this November that may also add more sleepers on the trains but they won't come cheap.

I am getting suspicious because the website has very few info and uses old videos to showcase their product.See http://www.travelpullman.com/Whatcha talkin' 'bout?Additionally if the new Pullman car service comes on as scheduled this November that may also add more sleepers on the trains but they won't come cheap.
Absolutely nothing to do with the Crescent though.
The website is just a teaser for their service which is not scheduled to start until October. Iowa Pacific is an established company and the plans for the Pullman service have been written about by Trains Magazine and several business publications. They will add marketing material and information to the website when they are ready.I am getting suspicious because the website has very few info and uses old videos to showcase their product.
I have been in contact with Pullmans marketing department. The sleeper and dining services will begin this October. It will be a high end type of service. Prices and routes will be announced on April 21st on their website www.travelpullman.com . A new website is being put together now that will explain everything. That should be online by mid June. If the service is successful expect it to expand to other routes but how affordable it will be remains to be seen but if Amtrak keeps raising the prices of their crappy worn sleepers who knows, we all may be taking them.The website is just a teaser for their service which is not scheduled to start until October.

But as jjs pointed out, this has nothing to do with the Crescent because their announced plans are to add restored Pullman cars to the Lake Shore Limited and City of New Orleans for 2 days a week. It will be a high end boutique type service which won't carry that many passengers.
Heeeeere we go.You can bet that Washington will not fund Amtrak for 100 more sleepers. They would rather spend the taxpayers money on the massive war machine.
Yeah, and if they sold them out at $1, would it be a megabust?Sold out isn't what matters. It's selling out at a high enough price. Amtrak could sell out an infinite number of sleepers at $1. The trick is optimizing cash flow.
