Strange consist EB #7 1/31

[WWW]

Two baggage cars - one in the normal set-up behind the (3) engines and one at the rear
Something perhaps to do with the split at Spokane EB #27 ?
OR something silly just to get your attention - LOL !

Maybe one was loaded with printed timetables to be distributed out West.

This winter we have a new consist for the EB. The Seattle side has the Dorm car, Sleeper, Diner, and a Coach. The Portland Side has the SSL, Coach, Sleeper, and a Dorm. They pulled the Bag/Coach for some unknown reason. But any bags going towards PDX go in the Dorm.

Amtrak's brilliant management team just keeps on innovating.

Maybe that extra baggage car had some stiff bearings that needed some exercise ...
