Hello everyone,
I've heard rumors about the re-introduction of sleepers to the BOS-WAS/NPN route.
My guess/instinct is these are just rumors, knowing how Amtrak feels about these things. That said, I do think if they introduced one sleeper in both directions with no diner, that there would be demand for it. I go from BOS to DC semi-frequently, and would love to do a sleeper on one of the legs.
I read that the original reason for pulling sleepers from the Night Owl/Federal/Twilight Shoreliner in the first place was equipment shortages, but with the addition of Viewliner II's, would this be possible? I personally think it would be a good combination with an alternate Acela leg.
If this topic has already been addressed, forgive me.
