As of yesterday the Cardinal still has its 2 sleepers and we're well beyond the reported trial period of the end of August. They've managed to get that extra Viewliner on every consist I have seen (and that's almost all of them) since about 7/6.
Yesterday #51 had two P42s leading the usual consist plus 2 dome PVs: The Puget Sound and Sierra Hotel. #50 had the PV Santa Fe (AT&SF-56) bringing up the rear.
I also witnessed a roving agent handing out seat checks half an hour ahead of time and actually weighing some folks carry-ons and charging $20 if it was over 50 lbs (total, not each).
