Subject line says it all... I know they mentioned two prototypes estimated to be completed in late December 2012/early January 2013. Does anyone know the status of the 14 Comet IB cars set to be sent over to Amtrak California for San Joaquin service as well as the retrofitted Horizon Dinette's and NPCU's? Been a while since I've heard anything about them, but then again they aren't exactly putting out press releases front and center about using used rail cars from the late 60's!
The purpose of the cars is to allow some of the bi-level California cars to be re-allocated to the other Amtrak California Routes until the new car deliveries start coming in around 2015-2016.
