I have no control over that. :lol:

However, yes these cars can be found on basically all Amtrak Routes. Some are used for mail while others for baggage. However, you might also see a conventional (non-converted) baggage car as well. The converted ones saw a great increase in usage once Amtrak pulled its MHC's.

Will I want to talk about the MHC Mail Cars are this cars was scrapped or soon will be scrapped?

No, the MHCs have not been scrapped, but sold off the small freight railroads who can run them at low speeds. The reason Amtrak had to sell the MHCs was because if they were run very fast, they would derail.

Good Morning,

I think they all are but there might still be in Phase 3, but I'm unsure.

Hello Good Morning once again and the about the Baggage Cars are the cars are in the new Phase and some in the old Phase?

 

[Amfleet]

When the 1700 series Baggages were converted from Heritage Coaches they were put into Phase IV. Some 1200 series Baggages are in Phase III, while others got repainted into Phase IV. Though, none are painted into Phase IVb yet, I'm sure they will be in the future.

Like amfleet said, it varies depending on car. I had a baggage car on the zephyr in phase III.

Those trains all lost their baggage cars last summer. This was becuase not a lot of passengers had luggage they wanted to check and put in the baggage car.

[Amfleet]

Yes, the baggage car was on the back of the train.

On Amtrak's Sliver Service Trains is the Baggage Car in the Back of the Trains sometimes?

 

[Amfleet]

Yes, but I do not know how often. Baggage cars can also be found on the back of other trains too.

Hi Does the Amtrak Route Coast Starlight have a Baggage Car from Portland OR to Seattle WA or not?

For a while the Star and Palmetto bug were both carrying the baggage car on the bottom. The Star has reverted to baggage up front due to the fact that the Conductor working baggage is responsible for the sleepers also. Palmetto bug continues to carry the baggage on the rear, and is still a member of the Silver Service family. The Crescent also carries a baggage car on the bottom for mail from NYP-ATL.

For a period of time it was on the Silver Star, but they stopped doing it before it derailed a few months ago.

 

[battalion51]

It was in the back for about three months before it was brought up as a safety concern, as no one had a very good angle on the activity in the sleepers.

On Amtrak's Carolinian is the Baggage Car in the front or on the back of the Train?

 

[Amfleet]

On Amtrak's Carolinian is the Baggage Car in the front or on the back of the Train?

I don't think the Carolinian has a baggage car, but if it does it is on the back.
