Discontinued with the Pioneer back in 1997. There weren't enough Sightseer Lounges for it so it used a Superliner I Diner as a lounge instead. It's ashame that that train (as well as the Desert Wind and Floridian) aren't around today. Its probably running as a diner again.

It was actually a Superliner II Diner, not I. I wonder if the images applied above the windows are still present today.
 
I would think they've been removed, they look sort of like where advertisements would be on a commuter train. It would be cool if they were still there.

Amfleet, how do you know it was a Superliner II Diner? (is it the photos on trainweb?)
