The 5:08 pm northbound Hiawatha has seven passenger cars with a Siemens Charger on the lead and GE Dash 8-32BWH on the rear. The consist has one Amfleet business class, 2 Amfleet coaches and 4 Horizon coaches.
I thought the Chargers have been running on the Hiawathas for some time now.
Hi,
Chargers have been assigned consistanly to the Hiawatha trains since May 2019. I rarely see a Genesis loco on the Hiawatha trains anymore. I know the Hiawatha I saw yesterday was a revenue train because I saw all of the passengers on it as it passes my train.
I saw another Hiawatha train consist today racing southbound across Wisconsin with Charger 4624, 1 AmCafe, 6 Horizon coaches and GE #517. This consist was also on the 5:08 pm northbound to Milwaukee tonight.
I think you're on to something. BC long overdue on those trains.I'm wondering why AmCafes and Amfleet Business Class are involved in the consists then. Are there service changes in store?
