Is the Viewliner Sleeper Car back in service on the Federal Trains?

:unsure: :unsure:I didn't know they took it off

Matt,

They've been gone now for several months. Amtrak pulled them so that they could take other sleepers out of service for repairs and overhauls.

No it's not. Read the third post down in this thread.

Alan broken link, that takes you to the thread about sodas, not what you're going for I think.

His link is to your post about the sleeper not coming back per NARP it just happens to be in the amenities topic.

B51,

No, it's the correct link. The third posting down, which is yours by the way , mentions sodas intially. But then you go on to talk about NARP reporting on the state of the Federal's sleepers.

I think that they were first pulled in November, although it may have been October, I'm not positive.

When the Viewliner Sleeper will be back in service?

When the Viewliner Sleeper will be back in service?

I believe the report from other forum members is sometime in March.

Did you go and read the post that I told you to read back on page #4 in this topic? :unsure:

If you had done that, it would have told you when the sleeper will be back.

If the Passagers went to go to NewPort News VA or to Richmond VA does the Passagers need to get off the Federal and take a other Amtrak Train to this places?

 

[battalion51]

Well let's see now, considering the Federal doesn't go there, wouldn't it be a good assumption that they do take other service there?

 

[P40Power]

They have a connection that leaves Washington a half hour (an hour on weekends) after the Federal's scheduled arrival time that goes to Richmond and Newport News. Train 77 on weekdays and 75 I believe on weekends.

Ricardo, how about you give MileTrak Express a try. You don't have to register or have any Amtrak Mileage to use it. I bet you will find the myriad itineraries very enjoyable and entertaining to browse

I found some of them quite amusing myself. Some even left me scratching my head a bit B)

 

[Anthony]

The focus is physically valid and legal connections, not necessarily practical or connecting according to schedule ...
