Seen reported elsewhere that the Texas Eagle is running with a through baggage car to the Sunset Limited.
This baggage car operates from Chicago, and continues past San Antonio to Los Angeles on the Sunset Limited.
Baggage from initial terminal (Chicago) for Sunset stops will be placed in the Baggage Car. Checked baggage to/from Texas Eagle stops is to be handled in the Coach Baggage. At San Antonio, any Sunset bags that were loaded into the Eagle's Coach Baggage are to be transferred to the full Sunset Baggage Car. Also, bags in the Sunset's Coach Baggage are transferred to the full Baggage.
The full Baggage also operates Los Angeles-Chicago on the Sunset and Eagle. At San Antonio, baggage for Houston and New Orleans is transferred to the vSunset's Coach Baggage and baggage for intermediate Eagle stops is transferred to the Eagle's Coach Baggage.
Also, effective this past Friday, the Sunset was to begin carrying a second baggage car, handling Express for Chicago on Fridays. This is a pilot program to carry Greyhound Express; we'll see how well it does.
Above is pieced together from reports in the field.
