David, your blog post is an excellent account of what happens to 7/8 and 27/28 in Spokane and its impacts on passengers. It's well organized and written, and easily understandable to non-railfans.

I'm looking forward to reading your detailed description of the dining car services on the trains.

This part needs correction:

The eastbound train 8, the Seattle section, operates with the Dining Car. Full service dinner is available the evening of departure from Seattle. The westbound train 28, the Portland section, operates with the Sightseer Lounge Car, providing snacks, beverages, and microwaved sandwiches at a cost.

Train 28 is also an eastbound section.

The westbound trains are 7 (to Seattle) and 27 (to Portland).
