Mostly, it was just in articles from NCI's Destination: Freedom, that discussed Gunn replacing the Heritage Fleet with new Sleepers (some to fill in as dorms), and Diners/Diner-Lounges. Beyond that, I have not seen specific plans for the layout of these cars. 2300 could be used to possibly...

I had heard a few weeks earlier, from the Yahoo Amtrak Group that Prototypes 2300 and 8400 had been moved to Wilmington, possibly related to the new Viewliner order, but didn't exactly know how...till I looked a the OTOL roster just now: Could this mean a change from the 1-2-12 sleeper...

Congrats, as well, sounds like you have a lot of fun ahead of you, good luck. :)

Amtrak has finally posted the new schedules in pdf format on its website. Just wanted to let you guys know. (Side Note: It was kind of wierd where I got the updated schedule page for a moment, then I closed out and returned to the schedule page again, only it was the older schedules, but then...

Great poem, I remember I had to write one in school last year, so I wrote it on the Silver Star, not nearly as good as yours though.

Amtrak has now posted the story on its website...better late than never (which I guess could be considered the Amtrak motto :lol: ) Click Here for the story. I guess my train won't arriving in WAS on time next week. :( At least I'll get a few more minutes on board the Acela! :D B)

The window pops up, and it shows "Loading..." in the window, I can see the player itself, but the video doesn't load.

Wish I could see the video, I can't get it to load. Any still photographs? Thanks for that insight Joe. B)

I was glad to read it, but it sounds as if we won't get the night departure back, since it doens't say that outright, good to know it'll be a little later.

Oops, meant 11/4, taking it south to Washington, one way, First Class...Finally. I'll also get to use the clubacela lounge in NYP for the first time

Thanks for informing us on the changes. I'm booked on 2111 for 10/4, which I guess means I'm now booked on 2157. I shouldn't have any trouble when I board since its the same time slot, right?

Chances are he had either a decal printer/software or had them custom produced, I'd love to get my hands on a set or two.

I like it a lot, I'd love to know more of what was involved in the project. Wish I had some in my fleet.

Guys, the whole idea is the train will be cut back to Pittsburgh to "enhance service" (i.e. ease the stress on the Viewliner fleet/enable sleepers to be added to Silver Star rerouted via TPA while still serving ORL and MIA, and possibly on the now former Federal). Its unfortunate, hopefully in...

Happy 60th Bill!!! Hope your trip is going great so far.

Looks like they're starting to update the schedules on the website Reservation System. The Silver Star will still serve NWK, TRE, and WIL according to the Reservation system. Additionally, unless the Silver Meteor hasn't been updated yet, it appears its schedule will be nearly (if not)...

How do you know this for a fact? What about the Silver Meteor and Palmetto serving TRE if what you're saying is true.

The fact that it says that is very interesting, as its either a typo, or there's something funny going on. But as the old addage goes, I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe Battalion51, Miami Joe, or someone else with sources can explain the supposed 54th Viewliner may be (If somehow it exists).

Yeah, It'd be a pain for me if NWK was blanked from the schedule, I've got Trips on 97/98 booked for December and February, which would mean my family would have to leave a lot earlier and either take a taxi to NYP, or a taxi to Millburn, then NJT to NYP. While if it were up to me I would want...

I've read that too, but I've looked at a lot of magazine articles about the prototypes, all of which mention 3 shells/cars, 2 sleepers (2300/62090 and 2301/62091) and Diner 8400 being ordered and built. It would be great to have that car in the fleet, but it may take a while.
