I am travelling on the Meteor and have car 9711 southbound and car 9810 northbound. Does anyone know where they are located in the consist or does it change each trip?
Does Amtrak still swap the consist around twice a year, with the summer consist having the baggage behind the engines, then sleepers, dinner, lounge, and finally coaches at end?The sleepers should be directly behind the diner, at the rear of the train. There should be a baggage car tagging along behind the sleepers.
Looks like that may need to be updated a bit.... scratch Heritage Baggage, put in Viewliner II BaggageThe 9710 should be right behind the Dining car, and 9711 will have the 9710 between it and the Dining car.

I believe it is year round now.Does Amtrak still swap the consist around twice a year, with the summer consist having the baggage behind the engines, then sleepers, dinner, lounge, and finally coaches at end?The sleepers should be directly behind the diner, at the rear of the train. There should be a baggage car tagging along behind the sleepers.
We just got off train 98 on Thursday and this is where the sleepers were.The 9710 should be right behind the Dining car, and 9711 will have the 9710 between it and the Dining car.
